Was looking for a pressure washer (before it started raining!) and came across this in Wickes. Great power and compared to the Karcher i have been borrowing it is a lot better. Made by Loverwash so plenty of accessories available.
Not great stock levels so i presume it is to be discontinued.
sticker on the box says three year warranty.

Mine arrived today. Needed to use some spanners to fix the hose / connector properly. Once I found a suitable screwdriver, it didn't take long to build. Seems like a powerful machine, certainly packs a punch. I didn't pay for next day delivery, but it came with next day delivery. For £51, I'm very pleased with it.

Thanks pair of spanners sorted the leak out - anyone used the foaming lance?

Meant as box and instructions state only 1 year warranty not 3

Wednesday 21 August. they are showing 'in stock' in the online store. I assembled mine this morning and fired it up. Excellent. The best £51 (inc. p+p) I've spent with my clothes on! No leaks, very powerful and assembly, while not 'easy' can be done in 30-mins or so with only a screwdriver and a pair of adjustable spanners (to fix adaptor to hose-end). One tip from me. There's a rectangular panel that gets fitted in 'step 1' of the instructions. Tip: leave it off. The panel reduces the access for the coiled hose - a generous 8-metres - and leaving it off gives more room to coil the hose when winding-up.
In use the unit is quieter than I was expecting.
Country of manufacture = Italy. I read that these are made by Lavorwash for Wickes. Lavorwash are a reputable brand, who make commercial equipment.

No box! Mine came yesterday in a proper retail box. But yes, box has 1-year warranty.

Mine is leaking too. I'm going to try and wrap some PTFE tape around the inside and tighten up with pliers.
Hi all,
Got mine this morning, assembled and tested. I need to apply some PTFE tape to the connector that plugs into the lance. Anyway, I can't fathom out how the 15M extension hose attaches? Could someone point me the right direction please?
Thanks :smiley:

Anyone who has received it:
1) Is the 140 bar is adjustable?
2) does the paperwork confirm 3 year warranty?

Agree with the Doctor. Try filling a bucket with a pressure washer and you'll find it will take an awful long time compared to a mains tap.

I had a presure washer connected to mains tap..used a hell of a lot of water and were on a water meter. does this one have a filler tank so you can monitor its use ? couldnt tell from description. sounds great if it does

Really? Pressure washers use a LOT less water than an open tap.
I've never seen a pressure washer with a filler tank. Maybe your definition of a hell of a lot water is different to mine.

Just to let you guys know that this item is available on line at the moment.
It will be £5 for next-day delivery, but go through Quidco for cashback.
I think the £5 is worth it for a brand new and complete item as I've wasted time phoning up stores to check/reserve!
Thanks OP!

Although it says 'Out of Stock' it still lets you do a stock check. There are 2 showing in Sutton Coldfield, Minworth.

1 in Oldham and Macclesfield.
Worth ringing.....they say they cant reserve items but will generally hold an item for an hour or so to save a wasted journey.

1 showing in High Wycombe, but when I went to get it the staff said it was faulty, so none left. Save yourself the trip... Good deal if you can get one though.

Telford was showing two in stock but, when I got to store I was told they had been reserved. Deffo worth a call before going to store. Good price if you can get one.
