Wanted Cheeky little ask…

…has anyone a gentle pressure washer that they no longer use, please?

Nothing with high velocity, just a gentle spray that I can see if I like using, please. I want to try the snow foam idea to see if I like this method of cleaning.

I can recommend one of these. It's almost as good as the yellow mains powered one my neighbour has. Comes with two batteries and a charger. Very economical in its usage of water.
The only downside is that I've had to weight down the pickup (with two hose clips) so that it sinks to the bottom of the bucket.

Pardon our interruption...

Worth a look at Hydro UK's products.
Their bottles and pre wash, snow etc are great and no pressure washer needed.

Hopefully not too late to share this advice, but I do not believe you'll get good (or any) snow foam action from a knackered old "gentle" pressure washer. They rely on the high pressure to generate the foam.

I had a Karcher K2 (lowest spec, lowest pressure - 110 bar according to Google) and it would not generate foam. When it gave up the ghost one winter (something internal cracked), I upgraded to the K7 (180 bar) and the exact same foam solution, same spray nozzle, same water supply and it foamed up like a 00's disco in Ibiza!

I'd seriously suggest borrowing a proper one to try out rather than being disappointed with a weedy one by not getting the proper experience.

I am in Matlock and you'd be welcome to come and try mine out if it's not too far away for you to travel or you're ever nearby

Thanks, @John_B I accept your offer!

Great, send me a PM when you're ready and we can make arrangements

(Just reading back my previous comment, and I hope I was clear: I was offering for you to come and try out the K7 & snowfoam at my house. I wouldn't be able to let you to take it away. I hope you understand)

You were clear, John
