What's the best one to get? Any ideas? recommendations? general advice?
Should I look any further than karcher?

What do you want to use it for? We had a Karcher, K6 I think, which we used for washiong the car and the patio. It was very good but the hose is very stiff/rigid making it awkward to use and wind up - ours had a winder built into the body. We tried a battery-powered one which is fine for the car and OK for the patio - not as good as the Karcher but myuch more usable. We gave the Karcher to our daughter who passed her cheaper Karcher on to one of her sons. The battery ones use your garden hose only (no pressure hose from the motor to the jet) so are much easier to handle but, obviosly, not as powerful.
When I first got my Karcher I managed to get it to burst; it was replaced free of charge. I happened again with the replacement. Then I was asked if |I had a stop-end on my hosepipe - yes. Apparently the stop-end allows a shock wave to run back from the mechical trigger to the pressure pump and wreck it. The message is don't use a hosepipe with a stop-end to feed it.
