We have a 3 phase mistral steam washer. Had it 5/6yrs now and its been very reliable. it needed a new contacttor which was available of the shelf. Its on its 3rd hose but apart from that its been great. It was much cheaper than a kew and much more reliable than the kew it replaced.

If you have the room I’d go wall mounted everytime. Make it easy to roll up hose etc. similar to this. Keeping vehicles clean will save you money long term as you spot faults easily and it nice for techs fixing them to have them clean

It’s ok for domestic use, but it’s an aluminium head on the pump. A professional unit will have a brass pump.
The aluminium pump is fine, but doesn’t like running dry for long periods.
Saying that, I have an even cheaper nilfisk unit for washing the car, but I wouldn’t want to use it for tractors or machinery, as it hasn’t the flow.
The interpump tx12 seems like a good unit, used by some of the local car wash places, but then they are over £600.
but it’s probably the largest you can run off a 13a plug

as 335d says go for a interpump tx12 you ll find a lot of the pro washers with the stainless covers are the same model but costing a good bit more , been in production for 30 years
