This machine has never worked efficiently. the auto cut-out failed on first use, then the handle developed a major leak within the first two weeks of use (possibly due to failure of auto cut-out?). The machine is now completely unusable, after no more than 5 hours total operation. This would seem to be the normal result, judging by EVERY other review I have read on this machine. I would recommend avoiding this model and manufacturer at all costs.

Likewise water gushing from the handle - appears to be unfixable and my B&Q no longer seem to stock. Wonder why? Waste of money - next trip is to the skip!!- Read Guest's review (32 words)

I bought the B&Q own brand pressure washer and after only using it a couple of times water started gushing from the handle. I evenetually took it to bits and discovered that part of the O ring had slipped out of its seating. Tried in vain to get a replacement O ring. Out of curiosity I used the same size O ring from the rear of the valve unit - within 5 minutes it started gushing water ... same issue as before and I didn't find any reason for it - no ridges etc inside the lance. Looks like po ...- Read Guest's review (115 words and 2 comments)

From new the B&Q Performance machine only reached full operating (useful) pressure twice. It was obviously faulty but since I filed the reciept to my accountant yonks ago I imagine replacement (from BQ) would be a futile effort.- Read Guest's review (39 words)

Having purchased the product from B&Q for patio cleaning after about 6-8 uses water started gushing under pressure from the detergent tank. The stopper came like a bullet, very dangerous. Being just out of guarantee the B&Q store, HQ and manuafcturer all gave me the runaround. So cannot even pay for it to be repaired.
Avoid this brand.- Read Codemaster's review (89 words)

Bought the B&Q Performance because it had a hoze reel but unpaacked and saw the hoze cant be reeled in with the lance attached like Karcher. It is very impractical.- Read Guest's review (56 words)

The B&Q Performance Pressure Washer is a fantastic machine and I have owned it for 2 years without problems. The only problem that I do have is the thread on the connector to the water lance has striped, can anyone tell me where i can get a replacement fitting?- Read johbu's review (54 words)

Overall not a bad pressure washer for the money. It was quick and easy to use, although the detergent kept having to be changed.- Read Guest's review (24 words)

The B&Q Performance washer, when it works correctly, is good however there are definite design issues with the integrity and water sealing of the lance. After using for 30 minutes washing my patio, water started gushing from lance handle. I purchased a new lance from B & Q and replaced it. Four car washes later, the same thing happened to the new lance handle.
Twice bitten, I will not buy another!- Read Guest's review (78 words)

This B&Q Performance pressure washer had an easy life washing one patio and half a car before packing up. Please buy something else - these are just dreadful washers.- Read fairplay's review (52 words)

I think that the B&Q Performance Pressure Washer could do with the wand re-designing, with the inner plastic tube replaced with something less likely to perforate.- Read Guest's review (53 words)

The machine worked well for about ten minutes, when the pressure hose blew off the pump, I thought it was the way I had put it on and perhaps didn't tighten it enough. Having reconnected the hose as tight as possible by hand, as soon as the machine started it came off again. I phoned B&Q who are sending a replacement hose, which was a week ago.- Read Guest's review (94 words)

The High Pressure Hose keeps coming off the pump. The thread to the pump appears to be somewhat different to the thread on the hose connector, B&Q sent another hose at no cost, but this problem should not happen.- Read David1377's review (49 words)

Would not have bought the pressure washer if I had known that, when out of warranty, I could not rely on the seller to offer advice on repair. The first B&Q Performance pressure washer I bought was faulty, but replaced immediately with a new one by B and Q.- Read Bob Littledyke's review (81 words)

Very powerful easy to use not to heavy to move around not a bad price at £99A. Internal motor housing very brittal and breaks after a little while.
Cant find any where to get spare parts as mine keeps switching off after only 5 seconds of high pressure. Cheap way to clean your drive or patio but don't expect it to last long .I would not buy another one and go for a better make- Read Guest's review (75 words)
