With the weather finally starting to warm up, people are crawling out from their winter hibernation to rediscover their gardens and if you are anything like us, you will find it has been taken over by grime, weeds and dirty protests from next door’s cat. The Nilfisk E150 can deal with at least one of those issues - two at a push, but your neighbour will never forgive you. This powerful, high-pressure washer has a long hose-range for larger cleaning tasks and comes with a whole host of accessories, plus the option of many other compatible accessories available as a separate purchase, including the ‘Mid Patio Cleaner’ which we will also be looking at.
Starting with the E150: designed to be highly mobile, this pressure washer is a robust unit suitable for large-sized domestic cleaning, including paths, patio & decking, walls and garage doors, as well as vehicle washing. It has a 10m steel armoured ‘SuperFle’x hose to prevent kinking, the built-in telescopic handle makes for compact storage when not in use, and you can store the accessories on the unit to ensure they are always to hand when you need them, such as the C&C auto brush or a rotary brush. The C&C nozzle system make it quick and easy to switch nozzles mid-clean, which proved especially useful when cleaning the car, with lots of different areas to tackle.
Included accessories are the ‘tornado nozzle’ for general washing, the ‘Powerspeed nozzle’ for tough dirt and ‘Foam Application Nozzle’ which does exactly what is says. Other features include the on-board hose reel & electrical cable storage, integrated accessory storage, 150 bar pressure regulation, an automatic stop and start function, and a water filter to prevent dirt from damaging the pump. The E150 is very easy to use: it can be operated with one hand and the rubber suspension helps to keep the noise level down; it is still fairly loud, but you won’t need ear defenders.
The Mid Patio Cleaner is compatible with all pressure washers in Nilfisk's Compact and Excellent range. It can be used in both the vertical or horizontal angle and is easy to attach to the pressure washer. Suitable for cleaning brick work, cement, stone and wooden surfaces, it also has its own pressure control dial that allows it to use the correct pressure for the sensitivity of the surface. There is something empowering about using this pressure washer: it makes light work of dirt and grime, and if you have been putting off cleaning for months, you will find yourself looking for things to point your nozzle at. RRP £289.99 (E150) & £32.99 (Mid Patio Cleaner)
