I have just six months left to do with P&O Cruises, and then I qualify for my lump sum pension (12 years service) and I'm starting up my own mobile pressure washing service. White Van, Karcher Pressure washer (Diesel Powered, + Heater for steam cleaning...5k). Spent the last six months searching and getting catalogues for these units, and without doubt, Karcher is the one to go for.

Plan on doing, cars, house facias, drive ways, brick work, boats, graffiti removal.

Spares availability is 1st class, and even down to the smaller units everything is replaceable.

Karcher all the way, even if you have to pay abit more to start off with.

Check out their web site.

if its just for light use then it may be worth just getting a cheap one as ive got one that ive had for 4 years now and its still going great, was about £35 at the time from b&q, no fancy features like detergent bottles etc just a basic washer that does the job

Thing is Jim, I don't know too much about them - and looking at different models don't help me gain any more knowledge

We'd like one with various attachments so can do many things with them - my neighbour has a petrol one, but it's noisey to operate

Any particular model you'd recommend?
