Tempted to buy. Any users for this model? It's the 2017 model.

Ive had an earlier version of this Nilfisk model for about 6 years now and used it regularly through that time; never had a problem. Much more reliable than the Karcher or generic models that used to throw their hand in after a year or so.
Just remember to drain as much water out of it by removing both the hose inlet and outlet before packing it away during the winter months.
I paid £67 in May 2012 (with a few accessories like the patio scrubber device etc) and it's still going strong; great price!

I got this model cheaper a few months ago, about £40ish (was an eBay shop selling the stock off) and was put up on here.
It's decent! Easy worth £60, and would've paid this a few months ago too if it weren't for £40odd

Good pressure washer. If you're getting a foam lance you need the Gerni fitting, not the Nilfisk one.
That's helpful advice. Thank you. I was actually thinking over the weekend about getting a 'snow foam' lance for my Nilfisk.

Absolute bargain. Much better than the karcher equivalents. Mines working well after a couple of months (as it should). The oscillating nozzle is the bees knees!

Got one of these from Amazon deal last year. Pretty powerful, but only thing I don't like is that there is no way you can control the power of the spray from the nozzle. Press handle and spray away at full power!

Argos currently have the c130.1 with the 1700watt induction motor for £139.99 which is the cheapest I could find around + 7% quidco. Used today for the first time and certainly feels a better quality than the karchers I have previously used.

My Nilfisk C120 lasted longer than my Karcher. I am now in the market for a pressure washer and would probably go for a Nilfisk again.

Anyone used this washer with a patio cleaner attachment comment if it makes the jobs easier on block or slabs? May buy this and the attachment separately as it works out cheaper than the included kit.

I have the attachment but to be honest I found it easier just using one of the normal attachments. Done the job nicely. Just my opinion however, don't quote me...

I agree I found grass and bits from the patio got in the brushes and gave me more cleaning

Is this better than the K2 Exclusive from Tesco? Which includes a foam bottle (probably basic and certainly not the best available). tesco.com/dir…954

Metal pump blade in these, soo much better than the plastic Karcher ones. Had my Nilfisk two years, no problems at all, good bit of kit.

**QUESTION please. I've got a C110 - works well - but I have a problem keeping the water supply hose attached. I (obviously) need the right connector (brass preferably). Any links please. Cheers.

Had ours nearly 7 years only problem i had was the hose splitting easily replaced with a longer version. Bargain at the time £38 from amazon.

I need to clean my patio. Am I better with this or one with the special floor cleaning extension?

Patio cleaner is nice and can sometimes make the job quicker but won't clean it any better than some patience and a turbo nozzle.
Personally I don't bother with the patio attachment.

Yea this is quite a good washer for the money - it's powerful enough to take off most of the grime from paving slabs and to be honest I upgraded to a 2.2kw nilfisk unit hoping for an even better improvement which proved to be negligible.

I have this, bought from Argos a couple of years ago. Personally I don't rate it. I borrowed my dad's Aldi / Lidl one (not the cheap compact one) and the nilfisk one is pants in comparison. Nilfisk might say it has a metal pump but the washer is about a third of the weight of the one not my dad's for about the same cost. Pump is possibly a converted tin can. It doesn't have an onboard detergent tank and the patio attachment has fixed brushes which is rubbish and all the muck goes over your feet and legs. Yes it works but next time it will be something more expensive for me with a better spec and more power. Been looking at the ryobi one in homebase at £99.99 but there are no reviews on it.

Which one did your dad have?

It says Lavar Cobra on it. I decided to push the boat out and get the ridiculously priced Clarke 9000.

Not sure. It's quite a bit taller than the nilfisk. Yellow in colour and name begins with a L. My son has it now so will check but it knocks the socks off the nilfisk.
