Pressure washer reloaded

[Mr Pounder Esquire]

When I was 14 I could used better grammar than this bimbo.

Good Afternoon Steve

Thank you for your email. We are sorry to hear about your Pressure Washer but unfortunately, we no longer manufacture the pressure washers they are all now obsolete so all we can advise is that to check that you have primed the unit before switching it on by running water through with the trigger open before the unit is switched on and check all the connectors are screwed on correctly (including the clear inlet filter/connector) and if you are using an extension lead unwind all the cable from the drum or try plugging it in without using the extension lead and also try each of your lances in case one is faulty If there is no change then you may have either a faulty trigger or a fault within the main motor.

Thank You Kind Regards Karen

Well, that's Hozelock for you. This is why I buy Gardena hose parts :)

All items become obsolete and spares only need to be held for a certain period.

Woosh...

[Mr Pounder Esquire]

Four years? Seems that Hozelock have a reputation for the bullshit of obsolescence.

[Chris Hogg]

Agreed. I won't buy Hozelock items. It does surprise me that they seem so popular, bearing in mind how useless they are. I have hose parts with the important bits made from brass; don't know who makes them, but they're made in Israel.

I was 1/2 way through blasting the moss off the garage roof when the old pressure washer started to smoke. I just nipped out to B&Q and more or less bought the first one I saw.

Most items are merely "branded". Many brands don't have a manufacturing capabiity.

Aldi have some brass fittings from time to time. Very heavy.

Does she also report for Newsquest local papers by any chance? Brian

[DerbyBorn]

Did anyone think that Hozelock made a pressure washer? Do JCB make batteries? It would be a no-brand item that Hozelock marketing decided to brand and add to their range to increase Market Presence.

While the style is certainly not brilliant, it is easy enough to understand and seems quite a comprehensive response.
