MAL Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 My Karcher was brilliant for years, might still be brilliant but that will be for the the cnut that nicked it 🤬 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoylandOwl Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 (edited) Might be why MPB's were shit as they were in 'used' condition Edited April 8, 2022 by HoylandOwl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tylluan Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Had a Karcher for years and it was that powerful it blasted the top off an old flag and we found a fossilised fern imprint underneath. Then the motor went and we 'upgraded' to the latest version of the same one. It's shit. Doesn't even take the birdshit off the car bonnet never mind clean the patio. Can't swap the pressure gun attachments over cos they're slightly different fittings. MPB if you find a decent one then post on here and I'll take the hit, buy that, and put the one we've got on Gumtree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyben Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Got a boggo one from Amazon, more powerful than the Karcher I had. If it lasts two years it'll be worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not one of the standard names but it’s all about power and 170 is more than enough and very reasonably priced. Need one myself so thinking of grabbing one of those Ahhh. The mystery aisle at Lidl. The only place you’ll find a ten bob flyer, next to a surfboard, next to a mig welder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarrySpeakup Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 We got a Bosch 06008A7F70 EasyAquatak 110 High Pressure Washer about a year ago for about 70 quid we use it about once a month to clean the garden path, drive and front paved area it’s been fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAL Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 (edited) On another note, apart from the one that got nicked. I have borrowed and used a Karcher Home something or other, could be K4 or K5 in the name but cannot remember exactly. Absolutely brilliant for everything i used it for, especially the patio. Should have said the patio was with the brush fitting, brilliant. Edited April 12, 2022 by MAL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry we don't do the car with it or wheelie bins and don;t have a patio but I would imaging it would be fine it's great at getting bird shit off the our areas and the tarmaced dropped kerb pavement area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAL Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Just used the "Karcher K4 Full Control". Absolutely spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAL Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Definitely add the patio cleaner. Game changer and stops the crap going everywhere, but you still have to use the power blaster for the edges because you cannot get close enough with the cleaner. One thing I will say, you cannot go quick with the cleaner, it will leave swirls. But much better than just using the blaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAL Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Right just watched the video. That video is a load of rubbish. Whatever they were cleaning has just been thrown on the top, that is not how you will be able to clean a weather worn patio. You will have to do it either a lot slower or keep going over the area a couple of times. But don't let that put you off, I think it is a great piece of kit.
