find me a pressure washer!
Mega busy at work this week. Wanting one for under 100 that will work with a snow foam, I tried a 1400w and snow foam wouldn't work.
Connection doesn't matter as can change it on my lance

I've got a Nilfisk C110 IIRC (I know it's a Nilfisk - can't remember exactly which model) and it works spot on tbh. I don't use the snow foam bottle that comes with some of them as they're shit - think mine was about £40 and it is worth the money IMO

I bought my Nilfisk from here...
http://www.cleanstore.co.uk/products...REGRADED-STOCK
Refurbed C125 for £50 delivered, snow foam works fine through aftermarket lance.
It's had moderate use with me no problems and was like new. I just bought a 10m hose.

Well it's here. Snow foam lance doesn't work with it. Just seems the pressure washer surges when trying to use it. Happened with the halfords one. Don't get why

Sounds like the snow foam lance or your supply rather than the machine then? Is the snow foam lance blocked?
