My Karcher went kaput last year so I bought a Nilfisk Alto C120 120 Bar 1700 Watt Pressure Washer from "worldofpower.co.uk." It was £90 complete with two free bottles of cleaner and I'm very pleased it.

Karcher = Junk. Never known anybody that had one that lasted a couple of years - I've had a KEW for the past 20 years. KEW are known now as ALTO. good machines and well worth the extra dough. Another good make is EDGE. You may not get free bottles of cleaner with them but hey, who cares.

I've had my Karcher for over 10 years and it works great. It gets plenty of use and does good job. Well worth the money in my opinion and you could get one from Argos for the amount you want to pay.

My Karcher is heading for 15 years now, great unit

I have a large concrete yard and steps..
I used a Karcher for years until someone recommended Sodium Hypochlorite (the stuff farmers use to clean milking parlours). Dilute 1 part to 3 parts water and sprinkle with a watering can and rose on damp ground.. Leave it, have a cup of tea and then go out and rinse off. Keep the cats/dogs inside until you have finished rinsing. Magic!
Only problem is that you'll need to find a farmers' suppliers.
I gave the Karcher away.
