The K2 is very low end as pressure washers go. For the basic unit including hose/pistol and lance it's worth no more than £35 to £40. It's ok for small jobs once a week for 6 months of the year but give it some serious use and the plastic valves in the pump expire and pressure loss occurs. If you are tempted to supply water to it from a barrel then put a good inline filter in the hose to catch any grit or it's almost instant history.

I think a comparative Nilfisk has a metal pump where this Karcher has a plastic one, which is more likely to fail.
