Pressure washer recommendations

not sure I would replace 20yr old K7 if it did break -
Don't really need it for car, using 2buckets usually, can easily reach saloon roof plus additional 20mins setup washer to use it, it's heavy+hose setup.
Like for patio stones where I damaged surface, I think (replaced) car bonnet clearcoat suffered too.
Chemical cleaning is more effective / less destructive / less leccy|water ... less fun, note fun is what karcher adverts accentuates(when the fun stops ?)
Something more portable and quick to set up that would do pedal bikes would be of more use w/mousse.
 
Got rid of my Karcher K2 - had it for 4 years but its been pretty temperamental.

got a Bosch Aquatak - its much MUCH better ergonomically, practically and is much more powerful.

gone right off Karchers - everyone i know has had theirs break one way or the other - split hoses, dodgy plastic connectors, leaking connections etc - wouldnt buy one again

Same. I had a K2 where the pump died and released the magic smoke. To be fair to them they did replace it under warranty, but now I've got a Nilfisk C110 and despite them being rated for the same pressure, the difference is night and day. Never going back.
 
I cant fault my K4 so far. Only had it a few months mind but its been used regularly for patio cleaning and car washing. Only slight gripe is it uses a lot of detergent if you use the Karcher bottles placed into the top of the unit.
 
the most powerful (vacuum cleaner good lyric) karcher tip is the one with the ball bearing - turbo nozzle makes a satisfying thrumming/buzz -
not sure if that exists for all brands ?
blade jet tip definitely doesn't do as much damage.
 
Will post here rather than start a new thread.
I'm trying to get a new gun for my Nilfisk Core 130 and I've note a lot of them say following:

"Nilfisk Alto, C, E & P Series hoses (does not fit Spigot connection)" Is a Core a C series or is anyone able to say if the core uses a spigot connection, embarrassingly or not so, I have zero idea what the type of connection is besides a quick release.

The connectors on both sides of the hose look like this:
