Small domestic electric start petrol pressure washer?

[Mike53]

Hi,

My Clark petrol pressure washer has just had a catastrophic failure - no complaints it must be about 30 years old. As I expect to be using its replacement into my 80's I thought it may be a good idea to buy one with an electric (key) start. Just wondering whether anyone can point me in the right direction?.

A google turns up RocwooD from Wrexham. I was pleased to discover I could buy an electric start petrol washer for around £300. However when I tried to contact RocwooD by email and telephone I received no reply on email and the phone (01978 710011) has a recorded message saying we cannot answer the phone just now, I have rung 20 times today. Most disappointing. The same telephone number is given on an ebay site selling the same machines. Apart from wanting to ask a couple of questions about the machine one wonders what would happen in the event of having a problem with it and needing to contact RocwooD.

I have so far been unable to find similar machines which have electric start.

I look forward to any advice.

Thanks

Mike

GoogleEarth suggests they are only a tiny company, perhaps the person who answers the phone and email is having a day off? Try tomorrow, or after the weekend.

Rocwood is a brand linked with Tree and Grass Spares, which used to be called Mister Solutions back in the day. I've used them going back years, it's just a small firm.

They do tend to sell a lot of chineese parts.

The rocwood range is probably just generic chineese stuff badged up.
