Electric Powerwasher

I bought this one this time last year, very happy with it tbh https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwjOq4L6gd77AhWLnu0KHRnmBHQYABAOGgJkZw&ohost=www.google.ie&cid=CAESauD2EgxMKy-nR-M_fmgyWctBIXTlI9D6H9zfQyqEpkjPj_jDxnPjAsmFsutTBTss2RrsTowE6-K3kwKuEfALqdQArfzsxjof5sSSQMJaXjrpP91Z1I4HMY-RNEACr0B25k_bmgTABQXWUXY&sig=AOD64_0eZzy9DVxE25XNilB_buaPGB7GVw&ctype=5&q=&ved=2ahUKEwi7svr5gd77AhV2RkEAHZo7AZYQwg8oAHoECAUQNw&adurl=

Have a kranzle here since 2001 and it's a great machine. Worth every penny.

Do you run that off a standard plug? At 3.2kw it must need a 16 amp fuse?

Although kranzle is an excellent washer, the performance will be substantially lower than the OPs petrol washer

You could try using something like aspen 4. There's other brands available too.

It's very expensive but if you're not using the washer much it could help, maybe use it for the last fill if doing a big day's washing.

I use Aspen 2 in a couple of 2 stroke engines like the strimmers and never any problem to start them. Ordinary petrol left sitting in the tank for long periods will make it a nightmare to start.

Alternatively drain the tank after using and put in fresh petrol each time you use it.

Depends on your water pressure, we just use a hose here

Honda engined 3000psi washer here. It could sit for 4 months and start on a few pulls. It’s 11 or so years old now and never gave trouble.

Not fussed on electric power washers. I nearly met my maker as a 10 year old unplugging one. I can still remember the feeling of the zap. My dad must have gotten a fright as it was never used again and an engine one was bought fairly soon afterwards. Engine is a much better job too and can be used in all locations - electric one limits you to whereever is the power source.

Kranzke here as well bought it about 12 months ago. Paid 990 I think for it. It was the 2160 model that Whelan linked with no hose roller on it. As far as I know.

Just one thing to be aware if USE IN THE FLAT as opposed to standing up otherwise the water pump will go. That was the advice the lad I bought it off gave me anyway. I think this is why a lot of cheaper one go faulty as well you always see photos of them standing up when they should be on the flat.

Similar to Patsy it works grand off the hose at home but on the farm I have to use a barrell.

There is a rotating head that comes as standard on the model I got its a dinger to clean the cattlebox or patio slabs. I intend to buy a longer lance for working on stuff up high.

What precautions does everyone take to protect powerwashers in freezing temperatures, like we had recently? I’m almost certain that I once heard that running anti freeze through them is not advisable. Has anyone else heard that? I just kept mine covered with old coats and stuff, in the shed….
