Nilfisk E 145.4 High Pressure Washer (2100W)

This is an excellent pressure washer. I have used the yellow brand for many years and they have all failed or had problems at some point. This is simply the best one that I have ever used, including the ones in petrol stations. It is very sturdy and the accessories are the same. The output pressure is fantastic and it was "almost" a pleasure to clean the block paving :-) I use it mainly on my motorbike and car and it does a great job of both. It makes cleaning alloy wheels super-easy. My friend was here last time I was using it and he was so impressed he ordered exactly the same model. I really can't recommend it highly enough. I only wish I had bought one years ago.

After 3 attempts (Received broken on 3 deliveries!) finally received one without issues. Have previously had Nilfisk and appreciate the quality. This is just as good!

Great but if kit 145bps , hose reel is great nice and tidy

This is a great pressure washer for use with a water butt. Previous pressure washers I have used have struggled to deliver a useful pressure when using a water butt, but this unit is as good as its competitors are when they are connected to mains water. It comes with a decent selection of accessories and they fit together and come apart more easily than other brands. There is also an adapter available so that other brand accessories can be connected, to avoid wasting accessories if changing brands. The unit is heavy compared to other pressure washers, although this shouldn't come as a surprise given that the pump is made from metal rather than plastic. It is a good thing it comes with wheels fitted. There was very little assembly to be done once removed from the box. It was restricted to clip together/screw on items rather than anything requiring tools. My only concern was that the small filter which fits inside the water inlet was loose inside the packaging. It was difficult to find and could easily have been broken as it is not particularly robust. Everything else was very securely packaged.

I bought this preassure washer to replace an older one that was not ag good as it use to be. Its more or less put together in the box. I have used it to wash the cars and my patio and its a very powerful machine and more than capable of the jobs I use it for. The only bad thing I can say about the Nilfisk 145.4 is the hose is a cheap plastic one that will kink very easily. I already had a better replacement hose as I have come across this problem before on my last machine. I would recommend this preassure washer but just be aware the the hose may cause problems depending on how often you use it.

Great quality, feels sturdy compared to other brands. Excellent performance and much lower noise levels.

Our old 110Bar unit had packed in. It was 5 years old perhaps with plenty of use. However a lengthy patio cleaning day using my neighbours patio attachment killed it off with the pump sounding as if it’s mashing nuts and bolts! So, bought this 145Bar unit as an upgrade replacement and wow was it worth it. It comes ready assembled, it weighs almost twice the weight of the smaller unit and it packs a punch. ! I attached it to a newly acquired Patio Cleaner attachment and I was happily cleaning away ingrained moss from the patio very easily and without getting soaked myself. The other amazing feature is how quiet it is for a powerful pressure washer. I was so eager to test I had it up and running in less than 15 minutes and quickly cleaned the patio, in the dark (not recommended) using my torch to guide me!! Madness, but such satisfaction looking at the patio the next morning :-).

I have given this 5 stars because it is in my opinion a very good, well-built (mostly) machine. My local Nilfisk repair and sales company also think it is a good machine. I had my first Nilfisk (different model) in 2000 and it lasted without any faults until 2019 when I purchased this unit (from Amazon) as a replacement. There are a lot of one star reviews on here which mostly seem to be about a specific fault to do with the machine cutting out when being operated. I didn't see those comments when I ordered mine in July 2019. I have developed the same problem. I contacted Amazon last week and they pointed me to Nilfisk in Penrith. I phoned them and gave the details of the fault. They thought it might be the upper part of the handle, which they said contained a pressure valve, although I have now been told by my local dealer that the pressure valve is actually inside the machine body. The new handle they sent arrived yesterday and the machine still failed. I phoned Nilfisk back and they asked me to 'securely package' it and they would pick it up by courier for repair under warranty. The problem is I don't have the original packaging and Nilfisk were rather vague about the packaging requirements when I asked them. In the end I phoned my local Nilfisk dealer and he said as long as I had the invoice they could repair it and make a warranty claim on my behalf. I took it into my local Nilfisk dealer yesterday and they are repairing it free of charge, under warranty. If you have a similar (or any other) fault with this machine it might be easier to just do as I did, but I should stress that I checked first with Nilfisk before I took it to the local repair shop. I think the fault only affects a few machines, but that is based upon something that was told to me by Nilfisk. To recap, the machine itself is fine, and I have no doubts about Nilfisk general quality as my last one lasted 19 years. I looked at several other makes of pressure-washer here on Amazon and there seems to be problems of varying types with those too. I guess it's just the times we live in! Nilfisk are generally good.
