Anyone used one. Any good?
Don't need it for any big or regular jobs. Worth a punt for £35?
Comes with foam gun attachment etc so will be handy for the car.
Notice homebase are doing the Karcher k2 compact for 50 quid at the moment too....

It will probably be fine, but your neighbours may think you're a pikey.

Might take a punt. 3 year Warrenty so can't be that useless

Not at all I have a nilfisk which isn't as well known as Karcher, but does the job perfectly fine for me.

The benefit of the Karcher's is you can get spares hence I'm still rocking a 12 year old Karcher

New Karchers are no where near as well made as the older ones.
I think a water pump in a plastic housing is old technology now, so i'd buy the cheap one, Karcher obviously can't drop their prices to match, but i bet all pressure washers are more or less the same thing internally.

I wonder if the cheaper ones use the same bizarre 'piston' pumps that the Karchers use?

I have the Karcher K2 and it's spot on, use it for the garden paths all the time, brings em up like new. I'd take a pun on the aldi one for 35 quid and especially if u get a 3 year warranty. If out goes wrong or your not happy take it back and go buy a different one.

nilfisk make expensive industrial hoovers. I used one about 50 minutes ago. True story.

Me also. For the sake of £15 I would take a punt with the Karcher. At least you know you will be able to get attachments etc for it.

Nilfisk - It's the one to get. Supposedly has a better component in the engine which is made of metal rather than plastic in the karchers.
