trooter Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Don't remember which model, but I bought a Nilfisk from Herculean. It has a turbo nozzle which is great for dirty concrete, and you can get various attachments for different types of cleaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme_Storey Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 I have had my Karcher one for years and years - works superbly, easy to get parts and accessories (never needed repaired after dozens of hours of use). use it on the paths, the rhones, the car, the walls - excellent. Highly recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 We too have a Karcher, It does a splendid job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shetlandpeat Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Be sure to use soap on the rubber rings on the connectors. My connectors have rusted a little, will have to remove the rings and oil up for storage. Karcher do seem to be the better manufacturer.

Graeme_Storey Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 I use a little silicon grease on rubber O-rings - the sort of stuff that is used for underwater cameras etc. Protects the rubber, and the metal, and is unaffected by salt water - useful in Shetland!
