Hi all,

Just ordered one of these, quite a few have ordered on detailing world, they are arriving via city link, looking brand new with accessories for attaching to hosepipes etc. Order the 'auto' nozzle to keep your paint, basically stops it being stripped with the hell fire spinning death jet the standard ones produce!!!

6 months warranty. Ideal.

Hope this helps someone;

Thanks for the link Jimski, just ordered one! Sick of the Karchers feeble build quality. Designed to last just past the 12 month guarantee and then some part 'will' self destruct. Don't mind if it only lasts a year for that price. Ordered a couple of attachments and still under £50 inc delivery.

Are they any good?!? Anyone recommend a snow foam detergent to go with it too?!?

I use the cherry snow foam, comes in 5l container, works and foams well and lasts ages. (eBay).

No worries

I'm sure one of the lads on DW said he had this model or similar and it was still squirting a couple of years later with the relevant maintenance and care.

In terms of snow foam have a look at the Valet Pro range. Ph neutral and won't affect any waxes/polishes. 2013 FL2 - Black Edition Auto

I use nilfisk, I've a E140

Pressures good, flow rate better than karcher, but I need to get a new trigger as its started leaking were the pipe plugs in, dropped it too many times  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I have a Karcher 601C now discontinued model but not when I bought it some years ago.

Little tip when finished using let the washer pump out any water/fluid after use. I have experienced the water/chemical tank freezing up in cold weather and trying to get it working while iced up will wreck the pump.

Odd... mines an older one ( recon off ebay) and I've had it for years with no issues..... that said most stuff is like this now no matter what it is or where from... I had an expensive non car related issue that proved it for me.

I bought my latest Karcher from Cleanstore, great company.

Mine arrived today, was missing the auto nozzle I ordered, the hose has rubbed through the outer flex and the fluff is coming through. Have dropped them an email, am sure it will be sorted.

I am well aware that mine is B graded, just a bit worried about the hose.

**Update** - Kieran @ Cleanstore is sending out a replacement hose and auto nozzle.

Can't fault that for service. Thoroughly recommended. 2013 FL2 - Black Edition Auto

Mine arrived yesterday, great service from clean store. Had time to give it a whirl today and I'm impressed!
I ordered the under chassis cleaning nozzle with it and was surprised at the amount of water that little adaptor puts out. No more getting soaked while trying to clean the underside!
Build quality appears to be better than my previous Karchers of similar size and I'd even go as far as saying the flow rate is better too, although Max pressure is the same at 110 Bar.

On the whole, a great buy for the money, thanks again for the link Jimski.
