Karcher K5 Pressure Washer

Lima Golf · 20-09-2013 1:37pm #1

Just bought a Karcher K5 pressure washer with car accessories online. I know there are some very cheap Karcher models out there but this one retails in Ireland for €380 - €400, cheapest being €380 in Woodies DIY. Bought it for €270 including delivery here:

Bought a couple of refurb nilfish washers from them both new and unused, fast shipping too. Their reurb deals are unreal when in stock.

That was a great price. It's now £275 to deliver to Ireland

Cheers,

Sign up for notification they seem to get them into stock regularly, my brothers refurb was brand new and the neighbour has its baby brother the c110 also from cleanstore also brand new condition.

just bought a vax 2500 watt 180bar power washer in argos recently. fantastic powerfull machine with an aluminium pump and accessory kit. cost me 180 euro and is alot cheaper than karcher which i feel are overpriced and overhyped too. the vax has great reviews on argos and on amazon too.

Just bought a Nilfisk 120 Titan after my Karcher died, hope it is as good as people say.

yep thats the exact one. it was reduced by over 25% last week in argos.i got it for 180 euro and also got a 10 euro voucher from argos cause i spent over 100 euro in 1 go. its a great pressure washer,much better and more powerfull than the last karcher k5 i had. longer lance hose and also longer power lead in it too.

Karcher is definitely overpriced and a lot of their stuff is plastic junk but pinch of salt required in comparing the two

- vax has a universal motor
- its rated / operating pressure is 120bar
- maximum operating pressure of 180bar probably just means the safety valve is set to 180 bar not that it can produce 180bar which I highly doubt it can

For light domestic use probably not much advantage in the more expensive induction motor machines.

Are you shipping them in through parcel motel?
Do they fit in the lockers?

Where would you get a good Nilfisk washer from bricks and mortar shop as could do with one straight away.
