Pressure washer help!
Hi guys,
I'm looking at buying a pressure washer this week but not sure which one to go for!! I'm only after a cheapish one and have seen a nilfisk C110 on Argos site for £52
Has anyone used this and if so is it any good?
Also can you get a snow foam lance for this model?

That is a great washer & everyone on here will agree. 5 year warranty too
Yes you can get the foam lance, you need kew/alto fitment.
I got mine from amazon for similar price!

Graeme, could you link me to it please? I've just downloaded the Argos app on my iPhone but the only C110 they have according to the app is up for £99.99.
I'm looking to get one as well despite how shit the weather is 
Thanks

How much difference does snow foam actually make to the washing process?
My current jet wash is great however I'm pretty certain it won't take any of the lances. Is snowfoaming noticeable enough for it to be worth me getting another jet wash just for it?

Blimey £52 is a bargain, been looking at karchers because our old one broke but theyre like £150. Does the foam lance come with this one or do you have to buy it seperately?
