Nilfisk E150.2-9 P XTRA Pressure Washer - £254.15 delivered code at checkout @ B&Q

Good points of this one:

• Induction motor
• 5 year guarantee
• Max 150 bar pressure
• 500l/h max flow
• Includes patio cleaner attachment
• 9m soft hose
• Heavy, so it won't fall over

Less good points:

• Only the 9m soft hose, so not as hopeless as the short ones or plastic ones that coil up, but it's not the 10m Superflex hose that is rubber with reinforced steel wire that some other E150s have as is much better.
• Heavy, so less nice to move around.
• No variable pressure control

I did order one yesterday in my haste, thinking the 15% off would expire sooner, and it arrived today. Though I'm not sure whether to unpack and use it or take back to the store if there is better.

I'm in need of a new pressure washer as the stop/start valve on my old Nilfisk has gone and its not worth the repair. If I stick with Nilfisk, I can reuse existing attachments.

I would quite like the Superflex hose version but that seems harder to find at a good price. This one uses hoses with the banjo style connection at a right angle and it seems to be £90 to buy the Superflex 10m as a stand alone item.

I think these might be end of line, as the old E ranges seem to be getting replaced by the Excellent. They have the Ultraflex or Steelflex hoses, but look a lot like the cheaper Core, confusing me as to how to compare.

Please feel free to suggest good alternatives in the comments.
