| 1475649 | 2021-03-22 01:37:00 | I have an old no-name water blaster that was given to me years ago, and has finally died. I'm looking for recommendations for a new one. It won't get very frequent use, but often enough that I don't want to hire one. It doesn't need atomic scale power - just enough to clean wooden decks, pathways etc. Any suggestions? Karcher comes to mind first, but what other brands should I consider? Consumer recommends a Ryobi one which is only available at Bunnings. All opinions welcome. TIA |

TIA Nilfisk used to be better than Karcher, as it had more metal internal parts (impellers etc)....or was the case when we got ours. |

I hadn't thought of Nilfisk - they don't show up anywhere near the top of searches. It occurs to me the other possibility is Husqvarna. They always seem to be pretty good quality. |

| 1475652 | 2021-03-22 02:17:00 | We got our from mitre 10./...but while they have accessories they don't seem to sell the units any more. | psycik (12851) | ||
| 1475653 | 2021-03-22 02:35:00 | I have a K2 - gets used maybe 6 times a year and does what it says on the box. The more expensive one's have water-cooling, but this might be overkill for your needs. I did a fair bit of research like I always do when making a substantial purchase, and Karcher reviewed well. Nilfisk seemed OK, but all things being equal I went with the Karcher's yellow and black, much like the Welly rugby team. |

| 1475657 | 2021-03-22 04:02:00 | Karcher certainly seems like a safe choice. I am drawn to Husqvarna though, as I have had a Husqvarna weedeater for umpteen years and it has never given me a single problem. New info: I've just seen an aussie review site that absolutely rubbishes karcher :www.productreview.com.au I've seen better reviews for Husqvarna on the same site. |
