Looks like a petrol wheelchair to me.

Who's going to buy it? It's well over the top for home use.

Nah, course it's not... plenty of uses and not be constrained by a power socket is a big plus. :smiley:

Have some heat, brilliant, think the problem will be finding an Aldi with stock.
At last a pressure washer at a sensible price with some power.
Well found.

Suction pump might be useful if there is flooding again this year

I would have bought it if I didn't had a karcher

Just don't get the fuel and detergent tanks mixed up :smile:

All the Karchers I have had over the years (not even a case of things are not made like they used to, the were pants years ago) split on the pump and leaked.

I know a bodyshop who had a pro diesel karcher thing, was being fixed and serviced every 5 minutes, he got rid of it.

I gave up with Karcher in the end and paid out for a Stihl one, the build quality is in a different league. Heat added for this deal though, great price for a petrol machine (and it has a 3 year warranty).

Looks like a petrol wheelchair to me.

yep karchers last for 50 hours constant use, even their £500 ones. Anyone who buys a £500 one is stupid as thats the same as the bottom of the range Kranzle that are designed to last 1000s of hours and unlike kranzles and niflisks they can run for hours constant use - and you can replace every part in it

Should have got a Kranzle. you notice the difference in build quality even from the tough thick plastic casing and hose reel, not the cheap flimsy stuff in karchers and nilfisks. Let alone the performance of it. the weight is something else. I have t1152 and its a bit smaller than the karcher k7 is about 20kg, but despite being a bit smaller the kranzle is 32kg. The karcher k7 feels like a kids toy in comparison

yeh Honda make great engines, from lawn mowers, cars, etc. think kranzle petrol washers use Honda engines too

Agreed, two failed Karchers I bought and two others I was given, all failed, all kept frost free. Better off buying something designed to last than something designed to last 13 months. Will take a look at there when they appear.

250 Bar High Pressure! - I think my old banger would fall apart lolz

Sounds like you are a man who likes a pump.....

You still need to be by a hose/water supply. And usually there is power if you are near a house. I am struggling to see why this would be necessary ...

Little bit overkill I think...

No filter included if you want to take the water from a bucket or water butt. Got a karcher and had it a few years with no problems. Was thinking about getting this, still undecided.

Yes I understand that. But Aldi is a consumer store, it isn't for specialist equipment. They are trying to sell these to Mum and Dad doing the weekly shop.

I doubt very much that Aldi have sourced these and are selling these in store on the off chance that someone will pick one up on a shopping trip.
£10 drills and such like yes, 'dad' will pick one up in passing, or 'mum' will pick one up as dad needs one etc etc.

Whichever way you look at it, whether they should be selling them or not, it's still a very good product at a very good price.

At only £200 I'll be in the queue on thursday morning.

Called at my local Aldi last night and they said there was 8 machines going out this morning for sale, I got there at 8.05am and they had 2 left!

8:35 Aldi Hexham... I nabbed the last one.

My god it's heavy!

Set mine up this morning, superb bit of kit, very powerful indeed! It nearly blew the doors off my 12yr van!

Does anyone know where you can get the hose and suction filter from?

Depending on the fittings used you might be able to get them on ebay, have a look at a seller called Q Washers on ebay

They might have the bits needed.

Great power off this unit and good choice of pressure heads however the pressure hose is not heat resistant. Two days after buying the washer I was jetting the patio and the hose glanced the edge of the engine and immediately burnt through, water everywhere. Now I've got to try and get a replacement from somewhere as the shop can't provide one.

Fantastic, nothing else out there in the price range for the performance it gives. Can't find a fault in it.

Dont forget to keep your reciept incase you need to claim on the warranty, I've stuck mine to the inside of the manual.

Used the washer for the first time today. Really impressed with its performance. However I will point out one flaw as I discovered when my machine started pouring petrol all over my garden. The supply from the tank to the engine is via a small gauge rubber pipe secured at the ends by spring clips. The lower end of the tube had come off and was emptying the tank onto my patio. I am disappointed in two things here, one is that the fuel isolation valve should be on the bottom of the tank, not after the rubber tube which may part or perish leaving no way to stop the tank emptying its contents. Two, the spring clips are poor and have little tension and I suspect came loose through vibration alone. I will be replacing them with jubilee clips.

i just bought one tonight. Spur of the moment purchase. Only went in for 8 cans of St Ettienne!! Home use,hopefully to make washing car n bikes easier. It looks well made,was looking at buying one after doing some research(an electric one) but saw it's spec,and only 2 left,i though by the time i get up tomorrow,if i wanted it,it may be gone(they only had 7 in, in total). I buy all my "garage" stuff from Aldi,and have never had a bad item yet.

got one and think they are great but cant seem to get a extension hose for it and have tryed with the service people and dont seem to want to know

I got one today yet to test it looks good .I have loads of uses for gave my karcher away today as well .

have used mine twice now. the detergent tank is fine,but seems you have to put small amount in,then flush it, i fitted a valve so i can fill it,and turn it off when im done, then fresh water comes out hose,so assuming it's ok? started 2nd pull on 1st use,4th pull tonight. so far,it's brilliant,,although it does move around when running,so possibly rig up a brake in the future. Hoping to test it on a nest of tables soon,to try to blast off varnish, instead of initial sanding. oh,re extension hose,my "old" aldi electric pressure washer hose screws right on,although i don't need it with what i will use it for. Receipt kept, and the box,,for now.

terrybiker how long is your extension hose and would you sell it to me

Hi Glen,sorry,but i have just given old one away tonight to son in law.

Does any one know where you can get a longer extension hose to fit this pressure washer from aldi i would appreciate any feed back

terrybiker ok but thanks anyway

Hi, look for a place like this
http://www.ajreynolds.co.uk/hoses.htm
Lots of places like that around,take yours in and they will be able to make you one up.

I bought it to clean my patio and wash my cars.... Great bit of kit for the money, only grudge is 6m hose, I have just ordered a 9m for £27.00
After 3 dead Karchers it's def worth a punt!!!

Just seen a big stack of these in long eaton Aldi for £99.99 plus there is a voucher from the Mirror for £10 off a £50 spend.

bigGG73
Could you tell me where you purchased your 9m hose a phone number and address would be appreciated thanks

Can anyone please tell me if this machine heats the water as well?
