this link is out of date i know but he still willing to do them for £150+++
just thought ide hold off buying incase someone else wants one and if we order them all together might get better price:D

just found there direct website http://www.beta-solutions.co.uk
P.S wasnt sure where to post this under so if its in the wrong place SORRY

Good buy that+++ Don't they have metal cylinder heads as opposed to Karchers low range plastic one? If it does will last you and you've got plenty of flow rate and pressure there; just make sure you have the flow rate availible from your mains supply+++

Great tool...
 

...I've got a E130 2-8 and the patio cleaning attachment as well which is great on my block paving. Would have liked the wind-up hose real on the 140. Flow rate is the same

Very robust. You may remember the KEW Hobby washers from years ago - same company I believe. My dad is still running one which must be 15 years old now.

Karcher have a terrible reliability record if you look around.

Best measure of power is NOT pressure, but volume of water it can shift a minute (flow rate). These easily outstrip the Karchers of same BAR by some margin.

Wouldn't buy anything else. Looks like a good deal.

yer they r metal pumps and not the plastic also most have a universal motor theses have a induction motor. so better plus quiter.
just got to sort the right foam lance for it and sorted

The detergent dispenser lance that came with mine works fine with snowfoam...
Not sure you need to spend any more on anything more sophisticated.

Karcher= Cr*pcher!
 

Short story:

Read this thread 20 mins after buying a Karcher.
Karcher lasts 15 mins and fails (seriously).
Return Karcher to man at DIY store and tell nice man in no uncertain terms that I want refund, not replacement: he agrees.
I email beta-solutions and I'm waiting for their reply.

Thanks guys - again.

well got mine and luv it best ive ever had by miles,
if u dont get reply give them a shout and ask for Ben he's your man.

Got a reply from Ben, but I was maxed today and didn't get a minute to call him. From his email, it seems he'll match the Ebay price he gave to another customer (150 + 14.50 delivery); although he hasn't confirmed that explicitly.
When I get my backside in gear, I'll see if he's willing to do another for that price. Bargain in my view.

Hmm
 

Ben emailed me again saying that due to Euro strength blah, no stock blah, end of May blah..price increased to 169+vat.
So I bought it elsewhere for 181 delivered. Not as good as 164.50, but under the price Ben had. Should get delivery in 4 days or so.
