Buying a hi-pressure cleaning hose

FIREWALL · 10-13-10, 10:56 PM

I went kinda overkill with the 3500 psi. 1500-2500 psi is fine for home use..

I would recommend one with the steam option.

I'm not familiar with the brands on your link. I bought a Craftmans at Sears.

A well built one in the $200.00 range should have a 2-3 yr warranty.

we have a pressure washer around the house, cant imagine cleaning the car without it... oh wait, I can, it broke down during the summer. Buy it, it's usefull

I know its useful that's why I want to buy one. Which one do I buy?

I bought a relatively cheap one and instantly wished I'd spent the extra on a Karcher - you do pay for the quality.

What is the difference between the Karcher models?

This one is what I've used for a couple of years now and is used to wash the concrete patio, timber decking, car etc:

I guess the bigger the numbers the more pressure? (and the more expensive!)

They don't look like they do that model over here and this is the closest one I can find to that spec in the local catalogue: http://www.karcher.com.au/aus/Produc...s/16364230.htm

I'll price it up and see what they are charging for them.
