It's a Karcher K2, comes with dirt blaster lance, vario pressure lance, patio cleaner,and car brush. I bought the soap dispenser and car shampoo and patio cleaning solution separately. Currently £130 at Homebase, but I got it a bit cheaper at Tesco extra, well pleased with it so far,only thing is, I don't like the car shampoo, it doesn't rinse off well,I prefer the soap stick shampoo, but I have 5 litres of the stuff to use, so I suppose I can use it to wash the van.

Is that the same model on offer at Screwfix for £75 just now?

Thank you - just trying to weigh up whether it is worth the extra to get the lance. Both look like a very good deal !

The vario lance will provide from a gentle splash,to a full on blast , whereas the dirt blaster is on high pressure all the time, it's meant for cleaning patios and decking etc. the vario is a multi use tool..

Does exactly the same at a fraction of the cost; http://www.diy.com/nav/garden/garden...skuId=14009296

Use it to rinse the dirt off using a wide spread of water (not a jet) also for rinsing the soap off.... also variable so ideal for blasting the decking.

Why pay for the name
