If your only washing your's and a few friends car's occasionally then look at something more around the £100 mark. £300 for a jet wash is just mad!

Nilfisk is a good brand but I've had Karcher for the last 10 years and they've been brilliant.

I really recommend Nilfisk, my dad has one that I also borrow all the time and it works brilliantly. It is VERY powerful, came with loads and loads of adapters and bits and bobs (paving cleaner, drain unblocker, etc) all of which are very expensive to buy separately to fit a karcher.
