Hello!

Appreciate that there will be posts that have already answered my question, but I have two pressure washers in mind.

Kärcher High Pressure Washer K 4 Premium Power Control Car & Home

The powerful Kärcher K 4 Premium Power Control Car and Home pressure washer adapts easily to any cleaning task around the home. This model includes a Car & Home Kit.

I'm looking for something that is all purpose, can do anything, want it to be electric and not gas/petrol powered.

With the karcher I like how it offers more tools but I'll end up buying more anyway and more specific to my needs, is the K4 worth buying because of the price or jumping to K7 better?

Interesting.. not aware of many other brands. I bought a spear and Jackson about 5 years ago, but its busted and only cost me 70 quid, lost half of the attachments during a house move and if I recall, the one I got wasn't particularly great.

I'm open to other brands of course!

I bought an AVA GP P40 oressure washer and it is in my eyes for the money very good. well made easy to use and has a 10 year warrantee and you can by service parts cheap as chips, spares as well.

Made to last

Thanks for the recommendation, I will explore their options further. Is their evolution series the all "singing and dancing" of pressure washers they do?

I've been looking at Nilfisk and Ava all morning!

Not sure what to get, budget is approx £400.

AVA has 'XL bundles' which contains pretty much every attachment but how good they are.. not sure, verses a good lance.

I'm not sure if this is the wrong category, but the telescopic lances are good for uses like, cleaning windows, gutters, roofing, motorhomes etc?

There are not many reviews for the

However, attachments appear to be a pain, as you've got to purchase connectors to fit with old style ryobi.. I'm guessing this is the same with most PW?

170psi, 475 flow rate, metal pump?

Got an AVA Smart P60 (XL package) because they had a deal on at the time that made it under £200. Only real issue i've had with it is it blew a fuse but this seems to be a common issue with some of the models (something to do with peak load when very quickly stop/starting), hasn't happened since though.
Otherwise it's a solid machine, well built, included attachments are pretty good (other than the patio cleaner which is similar to what Karcher offers and just as "useful") and uses Karcher fittings which handy.

Would you recommend something on the likes of https://www.qvcuk.com/ava-smart-p50...iga-bundle-accessory-pack.product.737224.html it's the model down from yours however negligible in terms of performance?

Thank you for that, I will take a look at those videos.

I will also read into the fuse blow also. I am hoping you wouldn't get that in the lesser powered machines but who knows. I have the budget to go for the expensive ones but I'm not a professional. I just want an excellent tool, longevity, versitile and does it well given an amature!

If that bundle drops below the 300 mark. Might be a steal!

My Karcher is around 10 years old, still going strong, lots of attachments that I don’t really use

I think this is the key bit. I would rather spend more on the machine than a bunch of attachments that I probably won't ever need.

As Nilfisk have been recommended a lot. They've got a P200 at B&Q for 599, I have a 15% voucher code taking it down to 509.

With a budget of 400, the extra inlay to put an extra £100 towards that + going through a top cashback site, with many years of use, I suspect that is more than enough for me.

Thanks all.
