Turned down a few PW jobs so far as only been going for just over a year but just done a job and there's a load more work he wants doing but it includes a small PW job so thinking of taking the plunge in a minor way.
I mainly service Victorian terraced houses in a very built up area so my main jobs are going to be small courtyards and patios, maybe the odd driveway. I need to be able to carry the unit through houses to the back yards. Without rolling it over the carpets.
Don't really want to get a karcher as I don't think it looks very professional so looking at a Honda GX160. Never seen one in the flesh so can I ask is this a good choice? Can it be carried at a push.
If so I have found a couple for sale second hand.
First one is just up the road from me and he wants £345. Comes with a hose and gun and a new Unloader valve
Second is a 3hr round trip which I don't mind doing but is £150. This one however does not come with a hose and lance and has been left in the garage for years.
I intend to get a turbo nozzle rather than a flat surface cleaner as like I say I only intend to do small areas at least to start with so bear this in mind.
If I go and look at one is there anything I should be looking out for as they both look pretty well used?
I've attached two images, first one with the lance is the more expensive one.
Appreciate any help thanks?
