Focus DIY have a sale on KArcher washers this weekend. I got an e-mail notification but deleted it so can't give you specifics but IIRC advert was about £50 off some models.

Maybe best PM Tuscan Thunder as sure Polished Bliss will have some comments on Pressure Washers as they use them so often.
Sure there were some reviews in the Auto Express as I used that to get my pressure washer (Halfords HP2800 which is pretty decent for the money). Was not the highest but sure it was recommended, considering they were doing them for a lot less than the article my Aberdonian streak kicked in.
Cheers
George

List price is £160 reduced from £200, but they give you a further 10% off if you have just moved house
B&Q are selling it for £250!

That will do the job for you sir, making sure its drained after using it always helps prolong the life, they are very prone to freezing in the winter if left full

Charges within Warranty
All repairs to Kärcher products within warranty are free of charge except in the case of:
• Misuse and abuse
• Frost damage
I note that the water Cooled Pressure washers only have a 5 year warranty if purchased this April and May. I bought mine in March

I got the K3.350 for £129 and really pleased with it, especially the new quick release system and 7metre high pressure hose. By the way folks you can upgrade an older system to the quick release and longer hose by buying the Karcher Replacement Hose 7.5m & Hand Gun kit which is about £30 to £35.
Yes definitely watch out for frost damage as they are very prone to it. Thought I had managed to protect my old one but afraid not so as its leaking badly. Will strip it down today and see if I do a wee repair.
