    I need to buy a new power washer.

    What's current thinking on the best buy?

    It must have snow foam ability and a 'dirt-blaster' attachment for cleaning paths and concrete slabs.

    I'm thinking the Karcher K4 ?

    Is the Karcher foam attachment any good or should I be buying a separate foam gizmo from another manufacturer?

    This is my washer kit, I think it’s the older K4 version, must have had it for three years now. Really happy with it, the drive cleaner attachment does a great job on our block paving. Snow foamer is the Karcher one, does a good job with the AG polar blast.

    I'm using a Ryobi portable. It does foam just fine using its soap bottle and the battery is good for 30 minutes.

    +1 on Karcher outlet mine looked new.
    And for around a tenner you can extend the warranty to 12 months same as a new one.
