ALDI €70 2kW Pressure Washer

Vick7

Anyone know if this is any good or what.
Dads a cabbie and could do with a decent one.
Thanks.

I've just bought one. The brochure is a bit short of info, but it's 2000w,90 bar operating pressure( max 160 ) and 360 L/H delivery rate. Comes with 2 lances and separate cleaning agent tank. Quite small but fairly heavy. Seems OK for the money but I'm no expert!

Vick7

Do you get any attachments with it for cleaning? Thanks man.

Vick7

90 bar rated pressure is a bit low for washing cars. Also seeing he's a cabbie he would be using it 100+ times a year so I persuaded him to go for a better one elsewhere.
Thanks anyway.

macaronicheese,

Is that meant to be humorous?!

DON'T make a comment like that again!

Is this pressure washer really 90bar? Seems a bit low for a 2000W pressure washer. Would expect it to be about 110bar compared to similar 2000W pressure washers.

On the box it says 160 bar maximum operating pressure and in the leaflet it says 90 bar working pressure with a delivery rate of 6l/min!

Thanks for confirming. It's still a great value purchase money wise, especially with the 3 year warranty as most pressure washers have no repairable parts and must be fully replaced when they give trouble. 90 bar is perfect for domestic use. Best of luck with it!

Cheers!

Vick7

Yeah thanks for the info cab93. All it said on Aldi was 2kw pressure washer. Hope the 90 bar is enough, going with 130 myself but that costs €145 so definately great value with that Aldi one.

Pressure Washers on the sturdiest jet setting will make shít of your paintwork if you put your mind to it - You can't just brutalise the dirt off....

- I'd say you're talking about giving it a good spraying > Wiping down the stubborn stuff with a sponge/Brush and then finishing of to a clean finish with a washer ie. 90 Bar should be plenty IMHO....

Also if you have a Deck these are invaluable - mine is like new since a couple of weekend's ago - is also non-slip once more!

Hi Vick7, whereabouts did you see the 130bar washer for E145? What was the flow rate? On the lookout for one myself.

Agree with Raiser though...it's not all about the pressure. High pressure will get things clean but will also do a lot of damage, most often irrpairable so be careful!

A rule of thumb I was told is to multiply the the litres per minute flow by the normal operating pressure. The bigger that number the better the "cleaning effect".

390 L/H. I checked three argos's online and between them they had a total of 4 left so plan to get one tomorrow.

I was told to alway spray at an angle not straight on and it's fine. I live on a farm so more uses than just washing the car so I want power.

390l/h and 135 bar sounds ideal, especially for heavier work you've planned.

Would like a patio cleaner too, which makes the Aldi pressure washer + patio cleaner very tempting, especially at the price.

Vick7

How long do those specials last. Will it be in Aldi all week or gone today?

lansing

Depends on demand. Usually all specials last in store for a week but often sell out quicker.
