Default Aldi (Karcher) Pressure Washers Sunday 5th April

Aldi's pressure washers are back in stock on Sunday 5th April. These are made by Karcher for Aldi, are 2.1kw, £89.99 and come with a three year warranty. The 2.1K Karcher one which is basically the same thing will cost you £250 in Argos. They are usually snapped up and Aldi stores out of stock within hours of opening

This is the Aldi 2.1 spec, just off to find the other 1.7 spec now:

• Produced by Karcher exclusively for Powercraft
• 2.1 kW long-life induction motor
• 450 litre/hour water flow
• 130 bar pressure
• Spray gun with 6m hose
• Spray lance with variable high/low pressure regulatar and dirt-blaster for 30% more cleaning power
• Soft-bristle, water power rotary brush
• Integrated detergent tank (comes with 0.5 litre concentrated detergent) for instant feed
• Garden hose coupling
• Automatic stop/start spray gun trigger feature






I GOT IT WRONG, Keith's is actually a 1.3, no wheels, no comparison. Spec:

Accessories - Wash Brush, T50 Patio Cleaner, Extension Lance, Detergent pouch, & Dirtblaster Lance
4 metre high pressure hose
Auto Start/Stop
On board stoage
1300 watt universal motor
100 max. Bar pressure

Then the tj hughes equivalent of the aldi special is way overpriced, I think i'll start following laney when she goes shopping, she knows a bargain!
Sorry about the bum steer on the tj hughes washer.
