    Anyone try this out on the car? Worth the purchase or should I go for one of the nilfisk branded power washers?

    You should get some degreaser detergent. It will make it easier to remove the stain when using your water lance or whatever.

    Any idea if the patio attachment is compatible with Karcher... are the fittings the same shape?

    Edit: I see now the examples on the previous page

    Slightly off topic.

    I have a nasty thick oil stain on the driveway. The rain hasn't shifted any of it.

    Would a powerwasher alone take care of it or would I need some sort of a degreaser?

    Driveway is made of cobbles.

    Pro tip: Coke is great for removing oil stains. Even supermarket brand stuff.

    Yup it is. There is an adaptor included that attached to to my trusty old Karcher kb1010. 
    The extension hose also works but lots of adapters need to be on it so lots of potential leaks.

    Hi all

    Lidl have a petrol power washer on sale this Thursday for €250. It's 180 bar.

    Other than that not much detail about it. Anyone bought one of these before? It doesn't say if it's hose or barrel fed.

    I'd be using it for footpaths, eaves etc. Would it be overkill for the car?

    Got one of these last time they came in, late Feb I think. Have to say it's a serious machine. Great power, bit loud but economical too. I've done all the paths and walls here, it made short work of it all.
    I use it regularly on the cars too, its the main use I have for it, its a good idea to keep back a bit!! But with all the interchangeable nozzles it easy to find the right one for the job.
    I would definitely recommend this, it's a huge step up from the the electric power washers that I was used to, and I wouldn't like to go back to the hassle of extension leads out windows etc..
    This is more portable and easier to set up and put away. It can run directly off the hose or from a barrel, though I have only used the hose method so far.
    I think the safety net for me was the 3 year warranty, you wouldn't get that anywhere else, so it's peace of mind.

    Absolutely. At that pressure, you’d be mad to go anyway near a car.

    I'd imagine you can adjust the pressure on them?

    Does it come with a lance or do you have to buy that separately?

    Thanks for all the replies.

    They also have an electric pressure washer for €79, 135 bar that would be easier on the car but not as good on paths etc.

    Comes with everything; lance, 4 nozzles, barrel pipe..
    The only thing you need to get is 0.6l oil (15w-40), as it comes dry.

    Would the 1800w for 80 e be strong enough for doing a small yard or would this be worth the extra 20e

    just a thought did you put oil in it most likely has low level sensor.

    if it has oil and petrol(not mixed) put choke, petrol, and engine on, once it starts turn choke off, if you try start it too many times it may be flooded and need to be left for a while

    Got it working in the end.I had turned the fuel switch the same way as the choke when i was trying to start it.Thanks.

    Tried it out on a concrete yard today,no problem cleaning it.Some parts of the concrete that was in the shade was gone black but cleaned it off no problem.
    The only thing i don't like about it is for a small engine it makes an awful lot of noise and it seems to be a thirsty machine.
