    Get a cheap one in Homebase and put a heavy rubber hose over the light one supplied and you will be good to go for a few years.

    I got one of the lidl 4 stroke petrol washers. Probably the best €250 I've spent in years. No electric washer could ever come close to it.

    Something like this may suit but def look at a few on dd. May sure the pump is good as the engine can be worked on as they are fairly similar in them all but the pumps are like panoras box once opened. Have mine a good few years and it gets fair usage.

    Any hydraulic hose repair shop should be abke to make you water hoses at any lengths. Just sdd it ontl tge hose you get with the powerwasher

    Not sure but a belt would surely slip at some stage. Mines connected to the engine

    Seen this one for €299 (I think) in local topline hardware shop.

    I'm tempted as it has a decent spec for general work around the yard, anyone any experience with this brand?
