Halfords pressure washers - SALE

[Cleggy the Spyder Man]

my old gal that I have owned for 7-8 years has finally goiven up the ghost - cracked pump housing

just ordered one of these due to the sale price and also the length of hose supplied at 7m (most at this price level are a rather pathetic 5m)

I purchased the

Karcher K5.600 & T200 patio pressure washer

Looked at all the normal retail outlets and Tesco were a few £££ cheaper....

Owned one of the bigger halfords jet washers - the one with the wind on drum for the hose since last February, it's been replaced completely under warranty once, and spent a total of seven weeks away at Halfords service agents since I had it. After previous experience with frost on other washers, I stopped using it well before the cold weather, disconnecting all the hose couplings, left it to drain etc. The one thing I couldn't do is physically bring it inside the house over winter. Came to use it this spring (waited till we were past frosty nights), doesn't work. Halfords say sorry, it's frost damage, the main pu p manifold's cracked - a cast metal part, not covered under warranty. I should have known why there was so much money off the heap of crap last year.

All depends on your usage.... mine is for the defender so used lots to blast off the ud underneath

looking at the reviews I can see the one that you purchased has had some flack for the very reasons you mentioned

the cheaper one seems to have goodish reviews

going to pick it up this morning - will report back

[RedditchJay]

good man......   on saying that I bought one of Halfords cheapest jst washes for work {£40} and in 12 months of hard use its been fine.....

[Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman)]

I'll look out for your report back   Having given up on that one, I just want a cheap one this time; I should add that crap product aside, Halfords actual service has been spot on. I even started feeling sorry for the poor manager Well, almost.
