I use one for my factory where it's 3200W 3500PSI HIGH PRESSURE WATER cleaner machine. The brand is KARCHER and we bought it at RM600+

If you buy those that are RM200-300 then you can only wash floor, cars etc not whack off paint from the walls.

Want to whack off paint from the wall you need the really high pressure models.

Dont know model. It's at my factory. Just when you buy one ask and read the manual to check the specs. Very durable. This one Im taking about is 4 years old and can still shoot the skin off the wall...

go to ACE hardware, look for bosch 140/150bar... i think around RM 1400

or ask around hardware shop.. can get cheaper by RM50-100.

if you need more power, can go to specialist like

You need around 150bar + (200bar is better) to reliably remove paint.

Those RM200-600 pressure cleaners are only 100bar max and not so reliable long term.

You need a semi-professional model and they are RM1-2k+.

Cheers

If not mistaken, the model is K2050. max 100bar. Get it from tradezone here. Lower than market price.

I using it like 1-2hr. I don't no need to cool down it or not. Cause 1-2hr, the job is finish. But the spray trigger is ON and off.

It come with 1yrs warranty. So far so good.

If you just use for house, believe me don't get the heavy and big size 1. Later on you will lazy to use it. I m experience it before.

If want to buy, buy one with auto on/off so that the machine will not heat up during interval stop.

Walau, so cheap meh renting fee.

I have no problem renting out. Since most of the time is sitting in my storeroom.

It is not just for the remover paint. You can use it to wash floor, wall, car, drain, gutter etc. You can shoot up to 2nd floor to clean outdoor without need to climb up. Very effective even without detergent. So RM300 is still consider cheap to own 1.

Don't worry lah. Not asking you hundred rental fee. tongue.gif

Yeah, if you have big house, get 1 is better. After all RM300 is still affordable. You can always use it to wash car.

I like to play with this pressure washer. And buy a lot of accessory for it.

Wonder why we don't have Songkran water festival like Thailand. Can utilize my pressure washer ....

I also plan to buy one this month, plan to repaint my house exterior...after do some research look like this Malaysia made is the cheapest

http://mypowertools.com.my/product.php?id_product=57

Input Power 2400W
Max. Pressure 180Bar
Flow Rate 5.5L/min

180 bar for Rm450...consider cheap + 1 year warranty...anyone here got any experience with this brand? Don't plan to buy the expensive one since after repaint the item will just seat in my store room.

I also google on how to clean old paint from concrete, many suggest to use paint remover.paint on top of old paint, leave it to work for 4-6 hours then use water spray to remove it..more easier

i used paint remover at my gate. after the paint slightly loose, jus use 100bar pressure washer to remove it. but not all paint that can be removed with jus 100bar. some paint even after paint remover applied, hard to to be removed. maybe too thick. so reapply paint remover. for the wall, due to old owner using water based paint, no paint remover needed and directly can remove d paint.

100bar karcher 2.05 model inm. doing the job. i think maybe u jus need 120-140 bar pressure washer.

Just bought a Karcher from Ace for RM 400 plus to clean my wall which looks dirty due to soil splash from the garden when it rains.
The wall was painted 2 months plus ago.
The dirt was not coming off so I went nearer - less than 2 feet.
And the paint came out blink.gif
Then I read the instructions properly and it said not to go less than 30cm to ensure painted does not come off.
Now I have to repainting a small part of the wall.
And I am scared to use on my car !

It has 2nozzle jet turning inside spraying circular. It use to wash floor or wall or anything flat. Advantage is, the water spray mist and dirt won't fly around. The UFO cover content the mist and dirt.


This is called the magic wand. Turn the round fat shaft to adjust the pressure.

Ok. Here another accessory soft brush. It main is use to wash car. The water spray comeout from the middle brush. But pressure not strong. That is good for brushing while the water spray out wash away the dirt. And the mist didn't spray around messy. The brush is soft. So it gentle to the car paint surface. The karcher have a small tube that can use to suck detergent in along the water. That speed up the wash.
