You are free to have some of mine but fear it would melt by the time you received.

Im still hoping for snow! (y)

Get someone that has a membership. Thats why i made sure I entered Customers with discount card on the first line. i dont have a card BTW but plan to get this via parents card.

Should come in use in the office lavvy (lol)

Mine turned up today. It's completely different to the one pictured, but in a good way. Has a black shovel with a metal edge and a grip at the tip of the handle. Judging by the dust on it I assume it's been sat in a corner of their warehouse for a while, and that's why they're punting them off. Oh, and to eat my words, I actually put it straight to use today as we had a fair bit of snow this morning! (highfive)

That you trigger?

Thanks op, ordered (highfive)

Great deal. This will last decades if you were to replace worn handles and spade attachments at suitable junctures.

bought one about 6 years ago maybe longer after we had the snow, only used it last year, sat in the garage all of that time with the deicer i bought cheap on a costco clearance :( you want one with a decent handle and metal edge, this one probably wont last that long but for a fiver :)

Battery power?

Bought this a few years ago and I am not a fan, however, for 50 quid it's not a bad deal. I paid 100 euro in my local DIY store. No way would i pay full price. Heat for the price. Major downside - It is extreamly difficult to start. Grass trimmer, spool will get stuck a lot and require constant stoping and starting to realign it to allow more line to feed out. Once running it seems to do an ok job but perhaps the grass shield could be better to protect from looking like the green giant after use (perhaps this is more a me issue however). I cant comment on the hedge trimmer attachment as I only tried it the once but due to the starting issues I replaced it with a battery powered stihl which wouldn't be fare to compare against.

Thanks for the heat. Would also work for anyone that needs the attachments or a spare driver unit (engine).. all of which are interchangeable I belive. Agree that you would need all the paraphernalia to get started.. but you would normally have to buy that anyway. Thanks anyway.

Showing £165 on the web page, so possibly just a local deal - good value though, if you can find one instore! You'll also need to buy a petrol container, some unleaded fuel, some two stroke oil and a mixer bottle, earplugs or defenders, goggles and working gloves (unless you already have them) I have an earlier model of this with a slightly different hedge cutting attachment and rarely use anything else - if your hedges are high, consider buying an extension pole, saves having to get step ladders out The model I have isn't the easiest to get started, but compared to corded electrical devices I'd sooner put up with a temperamental engine than faffing about with an extension cord, circuit breakers and the inevitable cable cutting and repair which almost certainly will ensue! voted hot anyway

Can i have few for my garden?

I hope these are fruit trees. OK for forests but if you can't eat it then don't grow it ;)

Nice find. Will forward to my local parish council and community groups

Yay! good cause, heat added. I suppose I may as well blow my own trumpet and report that my family have appeared on the front cover of the promotion material and on the "plant-a-tree" flyers! Sadly I still can't find those images on their web page :(

Spread the word, folks! We need more initiatives like this!! Hawt!

I bought this nearly 2 years ago for £39 from b&q. I used it twice and didn't like it because it's so small. It has no wheels and the hose is smaller than other machines so you have to keep taking it with you round and round the car

Good deal but 3m hose is rather small

Same price on amazon some prefer this seller: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bosch-EasyAquatak-High-Pressure-Washer/dp/B079RLT5VQ

Got mine from Amazon the other day. Used it in my snow foam jet wash attachment as a pre-wash (although I did have the adjuster turned to full which uses a lot) and then rinsed off before touching the car with a wash mitt and car shampoo. It foams pretty well and seems to cling almost as well as my proper snow foam stuff. At £6 I think it's a good deal and I might get another and use it over winter for quick washes on both mine and the wife's cars. If you're not a 'car person' and/or don't wash your own car, then obviously this product is not for you.

I picked this up today, great deal, I first had to double check they gave me the right thing but turns out they are selling the same thing in a solid white plastic container instead of the frosted style pictured above. But I’m happy, it’s really thick stuff

Nice to know I have my own stalker. I might do the dating app, maybe I could meet someone at my local £5 car wash (lol)

No I’m having an adult conversation with someone. I can see from your previous posts on your stats page that you’re a bit of a troll and like to hide behind your keyboard. I suggest a dating app maybe, it’ll get you out your parents box room a few night during the week. You’ll have to be nice though (y) 🏻 good luck hope it goes well.

Me thinks you are probably fighting a losing battle on this thread. Just don’t look at your car paintwork to closely and move on with your life ;)

That's around the normal price, I bought my k4 full control a few months back from Screwfix for £140. The patio cleaner is no good for block paving (the sand clogs the head very easily) and the "detergent" I've always found is naff from Karcher. It's not a bad price including the patio cleaner head, but I personally dont rate it.

In my experience these things make the moss worse. They do a great job of taking it out but it soon returns, worse than ever. I reckon they kick lots of does up in the air which then settle. I guess it may be ok if you kill the moss first. Does that kill the does? Don't know.

This looks almost identical to the B&D scarifier I wonder if it’s just rebadged

I use one twice a year (first sign of growth/ within last few weeks of summer) i don’t use any moss killer but go over the lawn twice in opposing directions on the first run of the year and very deep , then seed straight away - results are in

Also if anyone could offer any advice on whether this is the best order to treat my lawn in spring 1) apply weed, feed and moss killer 2) scarify a couple of weeks later 3) overseed straight after scarifying id rather overseed straight after scarifying as the seeds can then get right down into the soil, however I’m wondering whether it’s too soon after applying the moss killer - think I read you should leave it 8 weeks before reseeding? Thanks

Good tip! I’ll give that a try in the spring. Can’t believe the wonders that the scarifier does for the lawn, wish I’d bought one years ago

You could, but comparing a Spear and Jackson, not even made by Spear and Jackson to a Tesla, is way off. I would have a Tesla if I could afford one but then I would say your mower is more like the Xap Xebra. Your batteries will die within 3 years and support will either be non existent or the replacement batteries will be more expensive than a newer product McCulloch however have a great support network and many of the parts e.g. carburettors are pretty standard so you can get parts for years.

You could say the same for the Tesla Car. Its just horses for courses.

Spear and Jackson are not Spear and Jackson any more. conversation.which.co.uk/home-energy/gardening-tools-using-confusing-branding/comment-page-2/ http://www.insightdiy.co.uk/news/confusing-product-labelling-at-leading-retailers/323.htm If these were that good we would see professional gardner's using them surely.

And you have the privilage to pay per litre Petrol Fuel Duty - 48.35pVAT (17.5%) - 14.9p If you can afford and is suitable get a battery powered mower. twice the price, but I have this one. My Lawnmower. No airfilter to clean, no oil to change, less enviromental impact, apparently.

Got this for £79,from B & M in October. Great mower, starts first time every time.

Nah I'm good

another vote for Rotak bought one to replace motor mower for the price even achieves stripes great price must be 3/4 years old now.

Ive had this mower for 2 years. Best one ive had yet, especially for the price. Ive mowen some thick weeds too and hasnt failed me yet. Tempted to buy another but i know the mrs wont mow... she wont even hoover!

"For use on lawns up to 300 m2" This is incorrect, if you have lawn of 400m2 or 500m2 you can still use it :) Size of your lawn does not affect the properties of the grass or effectiveness of the lawnmower.

You are right, this one is Chinese. You can tell by the front covers. If it’s black your good to go

Did anyone else manage to find at this price?

I glad it help and thank you EdmundBlackadder for your feedback.

Just wanted to say thank you, I went and bought one from the same store just now, because of this post.

I got this back in the Spring/Summer. Excellent for the price. Metal gears etc... Strips the crap off a patio as good as any washer i've used, other than petrol powered ones.

Sorry was submitting on my phone. I even have the original price wrong (embarrassed)

I can't find the link. Can you send it please? Thanks

The problem of Nilfisk is the lack of attachments. Patio cleaner attachment is a must have in my opinion.

It’s been this price for long. Bought it at same price last year. Returned it in a week. Go for a Nilfisk. Worth every penny.

Brilliant thanks for that got it now (y)

Simply excellent. Patio cleaner is not that great as takes more time but doesn’t spill the jet. I used the spray gun with widest angle and about 30 seconds to get this

Any good ? Was looking for one but never heard of this brand

Picked one today...feels solid and sturdy...will give it a try over the weekend

its now listed as 79.99 so i guess amazon price matched that too.

£79.99 is not really price matched is it

Amazon has price matched
