SK125 Pressure Washer

A well built powerful jet wash that cleans stubborn grime marks off brick/paths really easy. I have jet washed my red brick drive and it took out all the moss and cleaned the bricks so they look like new. All i had to do was brush sand in and the drive looks newly laid. Its easy to assembly (bit of common sense needed). It is easily portable and fairly light weight. As a result of this it can fall over if you drag it too much, but unless you get a heavy duty industrial one this may always happen. I wasn't totally impressed by the additional pipe to feed water from a bucket, best to feed direct from the main water source so the pressure is right. The soap dispenser works well but does use a lot of soap as the pressure feeds it out quickly. All in all though having had another well named product, I find this one much better in quality, use and price. Highly recommended.

My existing power washer gave up the ghost just before the annual clean of the paved areas around our house - a job which usually takes me several days. I toyed with replacing it with another from the same, well-known, brand but eventually decided to give Norse a try. Not a brand name that I was familiar with but both the spec and the reviews were impressive and the price was very reasonable. Assembly was fairly straightforward and within an hour of the delivery, I was ready to start cleaning the paving. That task has now been completed and I have to say that I am really impressed with the power of the SK125. The quality of the clean was excellent and the job was completed in significantly less time than in previous years. I was also impressed with the quality of the design which means that the trigger, lance and nozzle all fit neatly inside the body of the machine. A very impressive machine and an excellent purchase.

I found this easy to assemble by following the instructions - for the price it's well-made and does the job great. Others complain about the fragile plastic cover but if you treat it with respect then there's no issue. It's pretty powerful and perfect for car washing or for cleaning walls, patios, decking etc. I will be screwing a separate bracket to the handle with some self-tapping screws to store the lance when not in use however, as I don't like taking the lance apart into its 3 component pieces each time to store it in the slots provided.

Having looked at the specs of a number of different and much more costly machines I decided to take a chance on a less well-known brand. I have not been disappointed with the Norse SK135! So far I have not encountered any of the issues mentioned in the negative review. The handle seems firm (though I haven't yet knocked it down), If you hook the hose under the wheel you will be less likely to pull it over. It can be a little difficult to get it to draw from a bucket, but once you get it started it works well - the flow is about equivalent to a tap running at about 3/4 full flow if you top up the bucket as it runs (only tried that as a test to see how much water I was getting through). I prefilled the supplied hose, which seemed to help. Hold the lance trigger in the on position while it pumps until it reaches pressure and stops. The extension hose provided was enough on its own but with that in addition to the fitted original you have plenty of range. I found the lance more effective than the rotary cleaner - though that did work. Dark spots on stone may need the lance to be positioned very close to the ground but it got everything I threw at it (old paint, ingrained mould, green slime, moss etc. For general use on stone, it cut a roughly 10cm swathe through fifteen years of old dirt. Moving the lance closer reduces the width but on average a 5cm width at approximately 10cm distance quickly produced a very clean result. I was very surprised at how quickly the entire job was completed. I haven't yet tried it on a car but it did well on household exterior paintwork (don't go too close or you risk stripping off the paint on a gate or door). I can't compare its performance with any other machines but I am highly satisfied with everything it achieved for me. Really easy to use. I would say that the lances probably do need treating with care but you don't need to put any force on them so that shouldn't be an issue. Hope the video works - pretty much shows what happened.

I bought this as It was described as Professional so I expected a rugged machine suitable for site use or at least good enough for my garden and car etc. Assembly was simple but a couple of items supplied were not shown or described they look like cable retainers but there is no obvious place for them so disappointingly the cable wraps around the handle. This is a shame because the onboard storage for the wands and nozzles is good and the supplying of a small dispenser of grease and a nozzle cleaner was inspired. As I assembled it I was concerned that the machine and the accessories felt weak and not very reassuring but after I assembled the thing I cleaned my garden paths, decking and steps where the combined 12 meter hose came in really well I was very impressed but still a little concerned about the build quality, the deck scrubber works well but feels like its about to fall apart. I loaned it to my son who was impressed with the results but when he brought it back he was nursing it gently as it had fallen over onto its back during use and the reel attachment had broken away the whole assembly being held by two self tapping screws into moulded stems of rather soft plastic which had just snapped off. This assembly is the only one that came pre-attached so it wasn't me over tightening or anything. Anyway I fixed the problem with a couple of M4 x 50mm machine screws and the whole thing feels far more secure. If I had access to the company I would suggest they use that method of fixing the reel in place. The phots show the two bolt heads at the rear and one can be seen in the front view. Sorry for the length I wanted to be comprehensive and being locked down I have far too much time on my hands.

I bought this pressure washer to clean my block paving driveway as my existing pressure washer was not powerful enough to give it a good clean. This new washer was really powerful and did an excellent job of cleaning and the different jet setting were really useful. The instructions weren’t the best, but it was easy to work out which bits went where. The parts all felt good quality and felt like they will last a long time.

It was quick and easy to put together and it is very easy and intuitive to use. This is my first power washer and it seems very good value for money. I bought it primarily to clean my car as I drive off road every day and the undercarriage and the wheel arches get very muddy. The 90° turbo nozzle is perfect for this. The long pressure hose is good too - it means I can clean the whole car without having to move the unit very much. So far, I have also cleaned a stone wall, stone steps and a wooden picnic table and everything came out really well.

This replaced my Karcher which after 4 years fell apart! Easy enough to assemble, except the spray attachment for the patio cleaner is not shown in the assembly instructions, but worked it out after a bit of thought. To be honest this bit of kit feels flimsy when used, so I gave up and went back to the lance. Storage for the lance and trigger unit is within the machine which is good and the reel for the hose works well enough. Although rated at 160 bar it feels underpowered but did as good as if not better than my 120 Bar Karcher. I haven't used all the accessories but didn't need to for my patio which is now sparkling. Overall a good piece of kit I would recommend, but time will tell regarding build quality.
