RAC 1400W Pressure Washer

Product Information

If you just need a pressure washer for light cleaning, then most no-frills machines come with just one lance, which is a long tube with a nozzle on the end. The nozzle will usually provide variable pressure – when you twist the nozzle, you can adjust the spray from a powerful narrow jet to a more broad gentle fan. Nilfisk models are typically more lightweight compared to Karcher models. They are constructed with light materials to make them easier to move around. Next, spray the lubricant onto the surface, remove the clay bar from the water and place it on the paint.

Buying a new pressure washer can be confusing. There are usually several models in each manufacturer's range, with different types of motors and impenetrable model numbers which mean that useful accessories are either included in the price, or have to be bought as an extra. Additional handles: some machines have a variety of handles that will make carrying it around while cleaning much easier. Best for: Cleaning small areas of lightly soiled paving, bicycles, small cars and garden furniture. Although you have to be near a power outlet to use an electric washer, they are typically lighter, better for the environment, less noisy and will be powerful enough for the usual home and garden cleaning jobs.

Karcher were the first to introduce smart technology to pressure washers so you can connect them to your smartphone via an app.

If you have access to compressed air, use it to clean those hard to reach and awkward areas, such as beneath the handbrake, inside the seat rails and the seat seams. Nilfisk's entry level models tend to have more powerful motors and come with an aluminium pump head rather than a plastic one for durability.You will be responsible for all costs of insuring and returning the items to us on time, and undamaged. Pressure washer pump fails - Store the pressure washer in a frost-free place, such as a cupboard in the house, and make sure that the water is turned on and at adequate pressure before running the pump. Takes steps to remedy a pulsing pressure washer.

Pressure gauge: some more expensive models have a pressure gauge on the lance handle but, as the pump pressure doesn't vary, they're of little practical use.Medium duty pressure washers tend to be a mix of high-end own-brand models and cheaper premium-brand models. As such, you'll find a confusing array of high-powered-but-basic models by garden machinery brands such as Stihl or Nilfisk, mid-powered Karcher, Bosch or Vax models with some choice of accessories, and high-powered and highly accessorised machines from Qualcast and Mac Allister. This all depends on how much you can afford and how powerful and durable you want your pressure washer to be. It is not designed to be a substitute for calling upon specialist detailing support or for bringing your car up to a concours-winning standard. Nilfisk pressure washers tend to be quieter than Karcher models as they're designed with a noise-reduction system. Best for: Cleaning extensive areas of paving, grimy 4-wheel drive vehicles, commercial vehicles and caravans
