Decided to get a pressure washer, mainly for washing the car and van. Nothing too expensive, but presumably with adjustable pressure so I don't blow the paint off. Suppose it will also need a foam lance, maybe purchased as an extra.

So, the brief - not too expensive, adjustable pressure, good length of hose for van. Any recommendations please?

The Ferrex one at Aldi this week appeals to the cheapskate in me. :rolleyes:

 
I've got an Aldi one, it works fine. I use it for the car and the monoblock driveway. Let's face it, all they have to do is pump water through a jet.

For another twenty squid, you could get a karcher k2 or k3 (there are regular promotions on them).

And I suspect they'll have fewer attachment compatibility issues.


Regardless, I recommend a stubby gun. FleaBay do reasonable ones for under £20.
 
Got mine from Aldi. It has all the features you mention and works well.

Thanks for your replies. Is it possible to get accessories to fit the Aldi washers? Paricularly a snow foam lance/nozzle?

Thanks. Yes, guessing may be a bit limited with accessories for Ferrex washers. The Karchers have 6m hoses whetreas the Ferrex has 10M. Will the 6M be enough for a (Scudo) van?

The K3 modular seems to be a good price with all the bits you need.
