Jet washer recommendations

Just wondering if anyone can recommend a jetwasher for around £100? I don't need anything too fancy as I'll probably only use it a few times a year (i.e. blasting the patio or for washing the Landy).

The Karcher K2 initially sounded perfect, but almost every review I've read has people saying that the motors burn out (or some other component fails) very early on.

Maybe some B&Q £80 special will do the job? Or a second-hand unit from eBay?

Cheers in advance!

If there any left then the Aldi washer is very good and at £79.99 with three years warranty can't be beat.

I have a Nilfisk one that replaced a Karcher. Came with much more accessories for the same money and just as good

K2 is utter shi te. They over heat in seconds being "aircooled" can just about wash a wheel before it cut out.

The K4 however is fantastic, had mine 3 hears now cleans everything perfectly. Instagram @defender_ventures

I used to have Karcher and didn’t really rate it, then it died. Replaced it with a Nilfisk and it was a world of difference. I would rather have a second hand Nilfisk than a new Karcher.

I’ve been running a K4 for 2 few years after the last Karcher died and was too costly in parts to warrant rebuilding it. Good to have the pressure feature, and built in washer fluid. My only regret is not getting the patio cleaner, it does a great job of blasting all the grime off the floor (onto my legs and everywhere else)!

Replaced my karcher with a nilfisk too. Karcher has a plastic pump that splits, nilfisk has a metal pump. Ray

I have a Bosch something or other. Makes a horrible noise and the connection to the hose is really awkward.
Sadly, it's not broken yet, so I have no excuse to replace it.
