Hey there,
Was eyeing out the $129 Aldi 2000w electric pressure washer due to go on sale tomorrow (20th March). But also looking at similar priced models online (with a metal pump for possible longevity).
Will be used mainly for around the house things, motorcycle and car, hopefully do the garage a couple times and random driveway bits.
Planning on moving to Portugal within the year, so a longer warranty or overseas support/warranty would be a bonus, and the ability to take other manufacturer/3rd party accessories would be great.
The only similar priced model I've come across so far that fits my criteria is the Bosch EasyAquatak120($149). Although, apparently made in China. Would skip on the extended warranty if there's decent enough consistent feedback on another product.
Reviews online are a serious hit and miss for a lot of products in this price range. Aquatak120 seems to have the most consistent, albeit maybe not powerful enough for my application?
Other models considered were the Stanley 1800w ($129), Gerni 1400w ($129) or the Karcher K2 Plus ($150). The Stanley and Gerni has a metal pump apparently. The K2 is plastic and is made in China. Also probably the most consistent of poor reviews.
The $109 Ozito has pretty good overall reviews at Bunnings so maybe it'd just be a decent unit to grab and resell for cheap or pass it off when we leave to overseas.
Side note, I have $10 in eBay credit and $52 store credit on Catch but there's only limited reputable models on there. My budget would be to spend roughly $150 out of pocket tops. Any advice or experience with these products would be great! TIA. <3
Rent or cheapie from marketplace etc.
