My Karcher K2.900M is now getting a bit long in the tooth, and the patio cleaner is beginning to break up.
My main use is on occasional domestic drive and patio cleaning, and I am thinking of an upgrade to some variety of Karcher K4 Home. It looks like there is a discontinued version still available, plus a new one with the doubtful advantage of LEDs on the handgrip.
Any thoughts or suggestions of better value for money?

Another bloody daft idea. Avoid like the plague.
I find the hoses on the new Karchers to be very poor quality and kink easily.
Interesting how good brands go bad!
I have a new Karcher washer. Not a patch on the old one.
I've had a Nilfisk machine for about 6 years now and it hasn't missed a beat. It's a C120.4 which has an induction motor but I'm not sure if it's still available. Regularly used for patios and cleaning cars.
The only thing I did was replace the hose for a 15m industrial one which I had made up at a local hydraulic place.
I bought a replacement rubber hose for my Nilfisk (from QWashers) because the supplied plastic hose had a mind of its own.
It thought "I'm cheap. I'm cheap".
