Re: Bargains
What I would watch out for is the battery one is only 22bar and I suspect that is peak pressure not working pressure and with fully charge batteries.
Even if that's working pressure and not peak, 22 bar is not a lot for a pressure washer. Fine for washing the bikes but won't be great foam and won't be very good cleaning patios and garden furniture etc..
Something to consider. More practical but at the expense of performance.

There's no rush. It's not like the bikes are going to get dirty anytime soon.

Re: Bargains
And gym equipment. I've been trying to get a decent bag for my son but they're either out of stock or asking silly prices.
I'll wait a few weeks and get a nearly new one on eBay.

Re: Bargains
Just bought a watch box from Aspinal of London.
Should have been £420 and I paid £85.
Nice stuff. I've got a hip flask and wallet from the same company.

Re: Bargains
Aldi once did a pressure washer that was slightly better spec'd than the Karcher K2 for either £40 or £60. Obviously it was sold out in every store the day it was released.
The Karcher K2 may not beat that price but it can match value with the accessories that come in some of their kits, particularly when they're on offer and you can find a discount code - but that's only if you use the accessories.
Enjoy your new tool, Kwacky !!

Re: Bargains
£100 off GoPro Hero 7 Black and Hero 8 plus a free memory card. Direct through GoPro only.
They advertise a 32GB Sandisk Extreme but it added a 64GB into my shopping cart so that's a real winner!
Hero 7 £220
Hero 8 £280

Re: Bargains
It's not bad. Good pressure. I wouldn't mind a larger bottle for the foam but I did 3 cars together. The connections are stiff so I struggled to assemble it and I can't break it down to pack away. I guess that's down to it being new.Blade wrote:Nice one. Let me know what you think. For the money I don't think it can be beat.
Can you get different nozzles for these? I'm not sure if it's a universal fitment.

Most likely trapped pressure.
Turn the water off at the tap first and then briefly press the trigger with the electric still on to discharge the remaining water. You will hear the pump stroke rate increase within a second as its unloaded of water.
Now turn the power off and press the trigger on the lance to relieve any trapped pressure as you disconnect the hose from the lance end first. Once you have removed the hose at the lance end then disconnect the hose at the body of the unit and it will all come apart quite freely.
Occasionally but a little silicone grease on the o-rings to help future disassembly.
The trapped pressure is whats making it difficult to disconnect. When you follow the above it will come apart as easily as it was assembled.
Hope its helpful

Re: Bargains
Where do people get their brake pads from?
I need some new pads for the MV. I'll probably stick with Brembo
