    Bought solely for cleaning my car. I am impressed with the performance, it is the perfect weight for manoeuvrability yet not too light so it doesn’t fall over. Easy to put away and set up. Used it about 6 times since purchase and no issues. Would reccomend!

    Very good for car cleaning

    I finally got around to trying out this pressure washer. I cleaned an old concrete path with it that had become a bit slippery with algal slime. I had never used a pressure washer before but it was really quite impressive. It left the path clean and grippy, and much paler in colour of course. The whole thing packs away quite neatly. Not much else to say. They give you two nozzles, one labled ‘gentle’ and one labeled ‘rough’. The ‘rough’ one creates a kind of spinning jet pattern, which is more aggressive, and will cut through green weed stems for example, whereas the ‘gentle’ nozzle won’t. Nothing much else to say. I used it for about an hour and it didn’t complain or overheat or anything like that. I’m happy with it.

    Easy to assemble. Send this be better than the (failing) yellow machine it replaced. Hopefully this will have better longevity.

    Nothing to dislike about this product.
    Feel much more solid, a metal pump and kicks out better pressure compared to my old (more expensive) Karcher which died after 10 years service which ain’t bad.

    I bought the quick release attachments and makes like much easier especially when it makes the gun alot smaller.

    The hose which comes with it is far superior compared to most brands. Doesn’t kink and has a rubber feel to it. But I swapped this out with a 15m length after market hose which saves carrying the washer around.

    I got a great deal on this item and would be happy to replace it if/when it does

    It’s quite little which makes it easy to move about and store. Not tried the patio cleaner attachment yet that I got at the same time and only used the high pressure nozzle. Also not tried the foam bottle, but it cleans bikes well without using it!

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersNever owned a proper pressure washer before and finally decided to take the plunge.
    Thought this would be a decent starting point as the pressure it could provide was around the ball park area I wanted.
    Sadly I wish I’d spent a bit more and it’s all down to the hose length 5 meters is simply not enough!
    I own a small car an Abarth 595 and there is no where I could place the pressure washer that allowed me to wash the entire car without having to move the machine without it falling over.

    That’s my only gripe with the machine the hose length is to short and I’ll be buying a bigger one at some point. Clean my patio no problem cleaned my car no problem in short its a good little machine but the hose is way to short for cleaning a car.

    Bought to replace another Nilfisk which my partner managed to destroy using it with restricted water supply (bent hose) and merrily ignoring the ‘strange noise’.

    I was worried about slight appearance of this, but it works better than the model it replaced. Hose storage, problematic on the old model with a roll up drum, is much easier on this model.

    Lack of power variation can sometimes be an issue when less power is needed, but it works well for car washing/patio cleaning etc.

    Great power washer from Nilfisk. Handy storage for hose and cable. My only woe is that the 6m hose seems short for washing a large car but at this price you can always buy the longer Nilfisk hose for around 30.

    Having had my last Nilfisk pressure washer for seven years I stuck with brand and ordered this version. It looks and works as good as it’s predecessor upon initial use so not disappointed and so much better than the yellow ones which crack up in about eighteen months

    Was conflicted getting one of these “compact” pressure washers but otherwise impressed with the quality.

    Bosch seems to be dominating at a slightly lower price point (only due to discount) with a weaker and more limiting machine; which is a shame as Nilfisk here is only marginally more expensive and doesn’t appear to have any negative reviews.

    Not very noisy and certainly packs a punch. Motor also sounds of quality too.

    As is a consistent theme with most modern and particularly compact machines, the lack of a longer hose is a nuisance. Not sure how people manage with an even short hose on some other brands.

    The only negative is that the spray applicator didn’t seem too impressive. Not that I was using a snow foam based product either, but was hard to see it doing anything.

    Some of the connections are a bit finicky but beyond that an excellent, robust machine

    Very well thought out design. Bought it for smaller jobs that don’t require too much muscle or the paint stripped of the car. Also more importantly because of its more durable metal pump. Previous well know makes have plastic pumps which give up all to readily.

    I decided to replace my famous yellow branded washer after trying and failing to persist with the ridiculously designed detergent tank. Nilfisk came recommended and it hasn’t disappointed. Great washer. Looks the part, feels solid and it’s really well designed. Bargain at 80 too – currently 150 in my local car shop beginning with H.

    15 minutes to assemble, I’ve now used on motorbike and car with snow foam, although the foam wasn’t super thick, it did clean both vehicles very well. It’s been used on the path that was looking very dark. Now the slabs have come up like new.
    A very compact and capable washer, if it’s the snow foam your going for it may be worth investing in a better attachment to the washer.

    highly recommended.

    First thoughts on this Nilfisk pressure washer were that it was quick and easy to get set up, relatively lightweight and simple to use.
    Is it better than a Karcher? Not noticeably… But its not any worse and is significantly cheaper.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersReally easy to put together. Just need to attach the wheels & handle with screws provided.

    The unit is very compact & sturdy. Very manoeuvrable and doesn’t fall over or tip during use.

    Cord storage for the power cord, Waterhose & tools are onboard the unit itself.

    Both the “Gentle” nozzle & “Power” nozzle work really well offering different levels of cleaning.

    Not as noisy as I was expecting. It cleans really well, very powerful but can be very precise when you need it to be.

    Very easy to disassemble after use for storage. Exceeded all my expectations.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Super easy to put together & excellent performance

    This is a neat power washer and is compact enough to store anywhere. The motor is quiet in operation and the power wash is as good as more expensive items on the market. The auto start function is smart and the jet is very useful. The power lead is long enough for most uses and I am pleased with my unit.

    This is the second weakest Nilfisk in terms of output pressure (125 Bar) but boy does it work!

    I have had the Krcher K7 Premium Full Control Plus Home for a few years now and whilst it’s great in terms of pressure and versatility, its size and weight did put me off using it in many occasions.

    This little devil however is incredibly easy to set up, incredibly easy to use and even easier and more convenient to put away, and doesn’t take too much room.

    I’ve used it for quick patio cleaning, and car washing/rinsing, and it did a brilliant job without overheating or stuttering.

    Overall: It’s incredibly handy and easy to use, specially for small/compact garden owners, the more powerful models may be a better option for medium sized gardens, but would definitely recommend this one, and Nilfisk in general.

    I bought with the Nilfisk auto kit and I have been very impressed with this pressure washer and its power and performance. It is sturdy and well built but light making it ideal for car washing. It is also very compact with a clever design. This pressure washer is great value for money and if you intend on using it for car or patio washing this is a great choice. I would highly recommend this pressure washer to family and friends.

    We found this to be a nice, practical pressure washer that was easy to move about and is also quite compact and easy to store away. The only issue I found was that it didn’t connect to our house as we had an old hose with the wrong attachment, but we found a cheap connector that overcame that problem quite easily!

    It comes with 2 different heads to different uses – the smooth one for washing cars, bikes etc, the rough one for patio and hard surfaces and they did the job perfectly. It does make a fair old racket – why can’t they make quiet pressure washers?! – but I find all pressure washer noise annoying so will just have to put up with it! There’s a button on the front of the unit to turn it off and on which is very handy and the reach is pretty good for the area you want to work in. Seems to be good value for money compared to others and first time I’ve used this brand, but am impressed!

    I received this Nilfisk Core 125 pressure washer through the Amazon vine program.
    This is a very well made compact pressure washer, it arrived in a well presented box and well packed with all the instructions on how to assemble it, which I found to be easy too follow and all you need is a Philips screw driver.

    The pressure washer comes with a Lance trigger gun and 2 nozzles a gentle one for cleaning things like you bicycle ,car, fencing or any household tasks
    And the rough one for use on things like you patio, garden pathway or the more difficult household cleaning jobs.
    I think this pressure washer is well designed as it has a place for all the attachments such as the rough and the smooth nozzles, the Lance trigger gun and the water hose complete and also the electric cable,
    as as it’s on wheels it is very compact and portable.
    It is rated for 125 bar max pressure and has a 1400 -watt power which makes this a good all round pressure
    I feel this is a great little pressure washer for the price of 80 and would definitely recommend it,.
    I hope you find my review helpful

    Not quite as good as my previous washer, but it does the job quickly and efficiently. I had to buy a seperate hose adapter for it, as my hose didn’t fit.

    Best bit is the compact storage of the hose and lead. Great.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersLike a child unpacking their Christmas present I was a little disappointed opening the Nilfisk Core 125 Waster — as its some assembly required. Taking the pieces from the compact shipping box, there was a few minutes assembly required using a Philips screwdriver.

    Once assembled I decided to put it to test on this summer’s patio grime. Mains power connects to the washer via a sealed connection plug, simply uncoil wire and plug it in, a neat little rubber band storage clip protects things and is easy to use. The washer externals are all plastic, and the overall washer is light and easy to move around.

    The mains water connects via standard garden hose fittings, although this could do with being a little higher off the ground for my liking. Turn the switch on and we were away. First impressions it is quiet and easy to control.

    After cleaning the patio, I wish it had an always on trigger; constantly holding the trigger soon got tiring. I could also certainly do with a patio washer attachment; that isn’t included in this pack. Once the patio was clean packing away easy. Unclip the hire pressure hose from the Lance and coil for storage, the small shipping box here got some more revenge as the photos show as after rolling it up it kept trying to escape the storage area on the back of the unit.

    For performance this is a super compact jet wash. It did the job on my patio, though you might want a washer with a little more punch in pressure. That said it is a good solid unit for general home use.

    Rain this week has stopped me trying the car attachment yet; like the rest of this washer and the included accessories it looks easy to use neat and well built like.

    For me its 4*; if you aren’t cleaning a large patio its likely a 5* jet washer. It packs up to a self-contained, small wheeled blue box. The built-in storage pockets encourage you not to lose things and to coil the hoses up. If you do have a patio, maybe get the patio wash attachment.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersFirst Nilfisk I’ve had.
    I bought this to replace a Karcher K4 130bar pressure washer that broke after 6 months.
    I mainly use this on my cars and it does a great job.
    The build quality is far superior and it seems more powerful than my Karcher did even though it was rated as a better bar.

    I bought the foam lance to go with it, Nilfisk 128500938 Super Foam sprayer for pressure washer Blue,
    And it does a good enough job at producing snow foam.
    You can adjust the nozzle to produce more or less foam but I find it needs to be up full to get the best result.
    It holds 500ml and I find thats enough to do 2 small to medium cars.

    Everything has a storage place on the pressure washer so it’s all neat and tidy.

    You can manually adjust the pressure from the lance which is good for cleaning soft top convertibles ect.
    If your primarily using it to clean cars, tackle a patio or cleaning garden furniture it will be up to the job and do it well.
    Plenty or accessories are available at a very reasonable price if you require them.

    You will see in the other reviews people mention about non return valves for an outside tap in the instructions.
    Most external taps have them built in so you should be fine with that.
    It basically means that no water can enter and contaminate your home water supply from the external tap.

    I’m completely sold on Nilfisk now it’s a much better machine than my Karcher from the build quality to the overall performance.
    If you want a more powerful machine for harder tasks they do this model up to 140 bar, but I find the 125 more than adequate.

    Core125 is great value for money

    Build quality appears to be excellent, the hose is very flexible and doesn’t kink like the hose on my previous washer.
    The snow foam attachment works very well, the lance attachment is excellent as it also rotates within the gun so you can angle the lance to reach under wheel arches etc.
    The 2 nozzles are easy to attach and adjust, everything stores away on the body of the machine for easy storage.
    I’d ordered 2 karcher k4s previously which both came damaged direct from karcher so moved on to this and I can honestly say I’m not disapppointed.

    A very lightweight and compact pressure washer making it very practical for moving around and for storage. Has a decent amount of pressure making it suitable for cleaning dirty paving stones (best to use the tornado nozzle for this).

    The pressure is ideal for cleaning cars too, I think they recommend using a maximum of 130 bar for cleaning cars. The tornado nozzle shouldn’t be used for washing cars as it can further damage the paintwork where there are stone chips or peeling paint.

    The foam bottle generates a decent amount of foam, however after reading reviews online I decided to purchase the nilfisk foam lance with variable foam setting and it was a definitely a good move.

    The hose length is decent and can be easily stored away in the compartment on the front of the pressure washer. There are slots on the rear of the pressure washer for the nozzles too.

    The machine was easy to set up and is easy to use. You can rotate the lance to change the direction of the spray when using the flat spray nozzle, which is a really useful feature.

    The only advice I would give is to ensure that you allow the water to flow through the pump (with the machine switched off) for a few minutes to remove any airlocks, otherwise the machine will continue running without any water being released.

    All in all, satisfied with purchase.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersWas easy enough to put together, everything stores away neatly, does a fantastic job of cleaning the car and brought the patio up nicely. Hose could be a bit longer, I find i have to move the unit around to reach both sides of the car properly, it’s light enough and has wheels but can be a bit awkward because if the hose and electrical connections. Makes a really cool noise when you let go of the trigger.
