Looking at buying a pressure washer to clean the block paving, decking and the car. Looks like you can spend as little as £60 or as much as several hundred. Not sure where the sweet spot is or the must have features. Any suggestions?

I have a Karcher K4 and its great, but I know a lot of people recommend Nilfisk ones
Was looking at the paxcess v3.2 for £129. Anyone know about this brand / model?

I had a Karcher K2 and recently upgraded to the K7 as there's been loads of good deals on Karchers recently.
I got the patio cleaning tool and it's brilliant. Made cleaning the patio a breeze and works on decking too.
The K7 is total overkill for our small patio but the the long high pressure hose is a nice bonus compared to dragging the old K2 round the car.

Don't really want to spend much more than £100, unless it really is worth it.
Karcher k4 looks good, but too pricey really. Maybe the k2 is worth a look.

Its worth it in so much as they dont fall down dead quickly due to plastic parts where alloy or metal should exist
Looks a decent option, cheers.

What did you end up getting? Looking to upgrade from a Karcher K2 Compact which, like myself, is losing pressure as it ages.

Karcher K2 basic was fine for the money but it's fairly low volume/pressure and yeah there are plastic parts that break after a while. K3 and above as recommended.
Bought a nilfisk core 130 in the end. Been very pleased with it.

Thanks for the fast reply. Local hardware store has the Nilfisk Core 150 on discount at the moment, so I might go shopping on Friday.
No problem
Definitely think the nilfisks are the best value. More durable motors and better build than the karchers I think.

Nilfisk 135i bought from Costco has worked a treat for me!
The patio cleaner that came with my Nilfisk is a piece of crap. The pressure washer itself is great but the plastic patio cleaner is good for nowt, just leaves swirly marks all over the patio. I found it better and quicker to just use one of the nozzles and clean it methodically.

Had my Nilfisk 10 years it'd always recommend one.
