Purchased from Aldi. A very powerful machine for the money which was approximately half the price of the equivalent Karcher model. I was told that Karcher make this Powercraft model raft and it does look and feel the same.

I bought the washer from Aldi 6 yrs ago and it worked well until 5 yrs ago the pump block cracked and i had to take it to a HSS hire centre who handle repairs for Powercraft.

Bought a karcher 221m from Argos and took it back because of lack of power.
