Advantages: Cleans things that you would think are uncleanable, Simple to use., Value for money

Disadvantages: Heavy, You get dirty, Everything else gets dirty

I bought the Karcher Pressure Washer Model : 520M from Halfords, I used it to remove all the dirt from the Patio. Wow what a difference, it is white again. Once you have started you cannot stop, concrete paths, cars, douvble glazing, bikes, rugs, guttering and barge boards. I am knackerd, but it so easy. Out of the box, plug in the hose, plug it into the mains, using a suitable extension lead as the lead they supply is about 8 metres long. The hose to the gun is 7.5 metres long which is enough to keep the machine dry while you wash everything you own. You need a RCA mains breaker just in case. I purchased the Chemicals for it today, to do the windows and now I have white double glazing instead of cream coloured ones. The chemicals were in 5 litre bottle for £8.90 which can be diluted for dirt that is not ground in. Also supplied is a brush for everything else, I have never used yet but will let you know when I do, as the lance seems to remove everything anyway. The machine has wheels and a handle to wheel it round, as it is quite heavy (17.5 Kgs). The chemicals are fed in through a hose which on sucks on the low pressure. So you put on the chemical with low pressure then blast it off with the high pressure. The Gun is light weight and it is held up by the force of the water. I highly reccommend one of these, it cleans everything, but makes everything including you dirty. I was absolutely covered in dirt. I managed to cover the front door in dirt off the path, I covered clothes on the washine line in dirt (mother not happy!), but she realised how clean her patio was and I got away with it. It is quite noisy so not recommended for use at night. If you dont have one you dont know what you are missing. Go buy one. It is so easy.

I used the brush to clean the cars. It was very good, as you can change the nozzle type while it is turned on. The brush sucks up the deteregent and is soft enough to be used on all the body work of your car. Then
cnahge to the lance and blow off all the dislodged dirt and remove the soap. Still Excellent product.
