Best pressure washers for cleaning heavily stained patios

My Karcher K111 has just died! I would welcome suggestions as to what is an efficient and cost effective replacement. A new Karcher would seem the obvious choice, but I have read that Nilfisk produce very good pressure washers. Any recommendations (from experience) would be very welcome

Many thanks

Karcher or Kew are ok budget machines.
Best are German or English pumps. Lot dearer tho.
Compare working pressure and flow rate.
Ignore that crap about "effective" pressure with add-on attachments.

I had a Karcher for years until the frost got to it in the garage and split the pump open which was made of plastic.
I now have a Nilfisk C 120.3 (£90) which has a metal pump,120 bar, 1700 Watts and is brilliant
I also keep it in the house now, (just in case).
Hope this helps.

Thank you Wak. Now I am torn between Karcher and Nilfisk. Do you know if all their washers have metal pumps?

Thanks again

Hi Stayahead, I don't know for certain but here's the web site who supplied mine and they give full specifications so you can check them all out.
