Used the jet wash quite a few times,very satisfactory.One question though,how do you use the rotary brush without being on your hands and knees ?If you hold it normally it doesnt lie flat on the surface you are trying to clean.

I brought this pressure washer last year and maybe used it twice before storing it for the winter . I recently got it out to clean the car and it's gone to the dogs there is a leak in the metal pipe line not good when using an extension cord . Unfixable The attachment are not easily removable in fact they are near impossible to remove at all. Please don't waste your money .

very good item , very usefull . would definetely recommend

The only downside to these is, try and get hold of the company when it needs repairing, I asked Homebase, then the RAC who directed me to Hilka, phoned their number loads of time, and got through eventually, was told as it was not under guarantee it would be better to buy a new one, and find a repairer in the Yellow pages.

Purchased the RAC-HP04 in February 2010, used about 6 times before storing in November over winter (Frost Free). Removed from storage March 2011, connected water hose & water continually dumped from internal valve beside of motor. Having no success in stoping the flow of water I contacted the help line stated in the user manual (Hilka 02083916767) a complete waste of time. They informed me that they do not supply internal parts or recommend a suitable repairer. When asked why they would not or could not recommend a repairer, their reply was that if the repairer failed to make any satisfactory repair, then Hilka could be held responsible. They did give me an RAC number to phone but this was a premium number (£1.00 per min) & not wanting to spend this amount of money on a phone call I tried the internet.

I then looked on the RAC site to find out if anyone would be able to help, sadly I could only find the RAC accessory shop (No Telephone number just an e-mail enquiry address. Used this address, stated the problem & asked for a contact number to enable me to speak with someone. I then recieved an e-mail from Hilka (The same person that I had spoken with in the first place) asking me to contact them as they had received my enquiry from RAC.

I have now spoken with Hilka again (The same person as before) who advised me to purchase another pressure washer.

I will certainly purchase another washer but not one associated with RAC or Hilka. I wish I had looked at the reviews prior to purchase, it would have saved me a lot of time & money. I would not have given this product any stars for value for money or for an overall rating unfortunately you have to give at least the minimum one.

My advise to any one is AVOID, AVOID, AVOID.

Bought the 1850 watt model from Homebase. It had been reduced £20 and there was a further 15% off. I previously owned a more exspensive washer and find this model to be very good. the pressure was strong enough to clean concrete and block paving and it comes with a good range of attachments for cleaning the car. Good value and does what it says.

Used this for the first time today. The machine started to leak water from inside of it, obviously not a good thing to combine with an electric motor. Basically it is a disgrace that a product that can obviously cause serious harm is sold in this state. I would not recommend that any one buys this product unless they have a death wish.

Bought this Rac pressure washer from homebase, used it three times, on the third occasion the motor failed, and emitted black smoke.
Failed just out of warranty. I will be persuing Homebase or Rac for a good will refund.
DONT BUY ONE OF THESE.

brilliant little pressure washer does every thing it says it does

Bought the item from Homebase thought give it a go. It works absolutely genius. Clean driveway and garden without any problem. Water pressure is fantastic. My driveway and back garden is spotless. Pressure washer is cheap and affordable. Good value of money.

Peoples who are complaining should read the instruction properly and use it as it says. You won't be disappointed.

Bought in April 09, out of warranty by a week, used a couple of times last year, and then again yesterday to clean patio furniture. Spray stopped, and smell of burning, smoke out of vents. Less than 10 hours use in total.
Hoping that Argos will accept that it is not fit for purpose.

Only had it a short time.used on two occasions, once for car then patio and both times did a fine job. Second time it was used to clean off garden furniture and large wooded deck and it worked just fine. No complaints from me, as it is much more powerful than a previous larger machine which cost three times as much as this one..Long may it continue and seeing as i have a 3 year guarantee i'm not to bothered..

Used it twice .Started it up last week worked for five minutes and wont work again.Owned from new for thirteen months so out of guarantee. Spoke to makers who offered to provide parts if we could find out what the problem was.As this would mean forking out more money we feel we would be throwing good money after bad so this is an experience we do not want to repeat.We would not recommend this product to anybody as we do not think that it is fit for its purpose.

Bought from Argos, first one the lance leaked after 10 min and Argos replaced no problem , second one internal laek leaking wouldn't even pressure up, Argo gave money back straight away. Heap of Junk

More power blowing water through a hose with my mouth!! Tried and tried for an hour but the presure is so bad unless I just got a bad one!

RAC 1850 Watt Pressure Washer works very well----good jet-easy to use, small but powerful.
