    cool

    Need to to clean paving slabs, have one but the spray is so narrow it takes hours.

    Looked at specs, what do you think of it.

    Can you get a wide powerful spray?

    It comes with 2 washer lances.

    One is a high power jet spray,that would whip the hand off you.

    The other lance is a "vario" nossle lance.

    You twist it left to get a high power jet blast,or twist it right to get a wide angle low pressure spray,which is perfect for washing a car and using the built in detergent bottle.


    Theres a water powered scrubbing brush lance too.

    Looking for one myself.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,134 ✭✭✭Moanin


    There's a very good one in Aldi today €109


  • Registered Users Posts: 402 ✭✭Tidyweb


    its only 1300 watts


  • Registered Users Posts: 454 ✭✭gernon


    This is the Aldi one
    http://ireland.aldi.com/ie/html/offers/special_buys3_21222.htm

    got it this morning but not been able to use it yet but seems like value.


  • Registered Users Posts: 402 ✭✭Tidyweb


    Hight spec.

    Has anyone used it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 921 ✭✭✭ShaunC


    I got it thurs. it is decent enough. Similar to the one Lidl had (parkside) it will still take all day to clean the yard though. Nowhere to wrap the cable or hose when finished which is a bit of a pain.It's as good as a €150 Karcher. If you are buying one within a budget it's worth the money. My opinion 6/10.

    Not a patch, pressure wise, on the others listed. IMO, the lidl Is the best option; both for pressure & the hose reel. That park side stuff is decent enough.
