Nilfisk C110.2-5 XTRA

This is a great little pressure washer, Sturdy and does the job well, day after day. Until 1 day when something goes wrong. The only way of sorting a problem out with a nilfisk is to buy a new one. I am on my third in a year! Lesson learnt time to move on. Still better than Karcher. As even the Karcher Customer Service Manager said to me when I rang them, your not meant to use them every day even at £200 per unit. We only make them to last 3 months! we wont guarantee them after that. Seems like all pressure washers are over priced toys.

It seemed a good buy, and the hype about the metal pump sort of convinced me, having had bad experiences with the smaller Karchers. However, this Nilfisk gave out after 18 months of sporadic service and, when taken to the authorized service centre that reported the case to Nilfisk guarantee dept., the guarantee was declared to be invalid. No reason was given, the service centre told me Nilfisk was especially bad at this, compared to Karcher or others. I notified my objections to Nilfisk HQ and, after 4 months of insisting, finally got a new machine (the C110 cannot be serviced, ever, it is a sealed unit!!!!!)

So, although I finally got a new machine, I am unpleasantly surprised by the customer-unfriendly guarantee of Nilfisk.

Purchased the Nilfisk C110.2-5 XTRA from The Range for a bargain price of £39.99 after reading up on specs, seemed to be offering the best £/performance
