    That petrol washer looks good,but I,ll go for electric.
    Looks like it will be a Bosch 135 model as thats the only Bosch one they stock down here.
    Plus you can use Karcher accessories for it( not sure which ones) apparently from reading the Bosch website.

    Am over any tool that is fossil fuel driven.
    Too much maintenance, stink, weight etc..

    If you can find a hot water electric heater for under $800 then I might be keen.

    I have a 40v Pressure washer here too.
    Portable Pressure washers. is pretty handy.
    Can connect to hose or a container of water.

    Pressure Cleaner

    Pat,
    You get what you pay for.
    Just make sure you get a brass pump no matter which brand.
    I have a Kerrick which is professional series but I've had it for 20 years and use it often and some family and selected friends use too.
    I researched it in depth before I bought it.
    I live in the bush and any delay can put me out a day or more.
    Karcher will let you down, right when you need it, many of my friends had them (not any more).
    Also most pressure washers have a duty cycle as they get hot.
    That means eg. in a Karcher you can use it for 5 mins then rest it for 55 mins as they have a plastic pump and it will deform and become useless,
    they don't mention this when you buy.
    Others can go for 30 -40 mins straight.
    I got mine from The Tool Shop in Kirrawee (Sydney).
    They hire tools and I find out which ones last.
    Matt is a good guy and is free with his information.
    Good luck

    Just to be fair. The base level Karcher have plastic. Pumps. These are the ones commonly found at your favourite sales shed.

    K4 goes alloy head
    K5 and K7 are all metal

    Never seen a problem in either of those last 2 units.

    Having said that, hard water will kill anything.

    I bought a Gerni ex bunnings Aus, about 4yrs ago. Only had occasional use, but the other day it did about 4hrs solid of deck cleaning, with it's little deck cleaner head, and never missed a beat, and didn't have any duty cycle.
