Good Points
Solid Build
Good set of accesories
Good power
Bad Points
Packaging on the box is poor. Doesn't tell you that you need to have a hose with a specific type of connector - the quick fit ones (like those supplied with hozelock). Minor gripe but it would have saved me another trip to the hardware store.
No lock on the trigger (like you get on power drills) so it can become tiresome on the fingers after a while. Again a minor gripe.
General Comments
B&Q pressure washers - I was initially sceptical about how good pressure washers were and I've been putting it off for ages. However, the garden furniture I spent a small fortune on was looking grey and worn out.
Did some searches for reviews and only saw the one for the cheaper model. I wanted one with a trolley and wheels for portability etc..
Bought this model because it offered exactly the same specifications as the karcher model but was £54 cheaper.
It has cleaned the first chair perfectly! It was worth the £99 just to clean the furniture to this standard.
I have also cleaned a couple of slabs on the patio and they come up well.
Would thoroughly recommend this.. £99 and a 3 year warranty to boot! Sorted!

Great review, was on the point of buying a Karcher but this has made me think twice!
