Just bought myself a "Karcher" power washer,am being carefull with the use of it,ie.not spraying at right angles ,keeping off badges,mirrows,seals,etc, seems to work well as there is no grit left in the bottom of the wash bucket. Question, have the readers any comments,advice,or horror stories on the use of them.

Yes, be very careful with any stick on signs, and go easy with the washer additive. It is excellent at taking the top gloss of the paintwork. As usual, red seems the worst colour.
I made an additional attachment, consisting of a hooked bit of copper pipe for cleaning under wheel arches and along cills.
But all in all, an excellent bit of apparatus. I'm never going to look at a sponge again.

Can anyone recommend the BEST power washer model ?
Is it Karcher or are there any other brands that are as good or better?
What about spares and relability ?
What about attatchments ?

Kärcher is a German (worldwide) company, spares are no problem and reliablity second to none.

I have owned a karcher washer for about 10 years now and have been happy although its not abused. However last year the hose decided to split in several places (probably some water in over winter!) A genuine replacement was going to be around £70 +p&p
I sourced a pattern one from a local dealer for £32. What he told me was that the hobby end of the range are 'disposable', repairs are prohibitively expensive. Some of the internals in the pumps are made using nylon as opposed to brass thereby giving a shorter life span. So make your own assumptions!
