Electric Power Washer

Hi All;
I need to purchase an electric power washer. This would be used to clean the drive and also wash the car etc. I purchased a cheap one from argos a while back and it is next to uselesss, as it keeps cutting out, as does one I got from halfords a few years ago. I assume this is due to the amount of water getting to the washer etc

I borrowed one from a neighbour and this one worked a treat. It didnt cut out (using the same water supply/hose as the 2 above).

I didnt get the make or model of this hose and cant now as they moved away, but any recommendation for a decent power washer would be great

Also, if the 'cutting out' due to the water supply or are there other reasons?

Thanks

I've used a Karcher in the past, and it has been fine. It never cuts out. I've since given it out on long term lend, so I have to guess the model - K 2.300.

A word of warning on washing your car - pressure washers are fine for getting it wet, knocking off mud, and for rinsing the soap off afterwards, but so is a regular hosepipe to be honest. The pressure washer is no substitute for elbow wax - if you use the highest pressure nozzle, it'll likely strip some paint too.

We've had two cheap ones from Argos and they worked fine. A friend has a Karcher and says its great and they do generally have a good reputation.

Would the pressure on the water in your house be erratic and was working well when you borrowed the neighbour's one?

Thanks for the replies...The pressure is great but for some reason the cheaper washers kept cutting out
