Stihl RE 128 Plus

Advantages: Good sink level. Long high pressure hose. The presence of a thermal relay.

Disadvantages: Foam head in the kit is practically useless. Demanding on the pressure of the water and the presence of bubbles in it.

Comment: I use more than 3 years. It justifies its money more than. I use for washing various vehicles from the quad bike to the SUV. A couple of times even the tractor had to be washed, as well as the greenhouse, carpet and vinyl siding of the facade of the house. Of the minuses in the first winter (kept in a cold garage) the handle of the gun burst and squeezed the valve due to the fact that there was water somewhere. The pump case also burst changed under warranty. Mud nozzle (circular fan) was covered after a year of use, the jet began to beat in the side. The foam nozzle is almost useless and consumes a lot of washing, despite the fact that there is a flow adjustment. I don’t use it now, but after wetting the car by hand I spray the liquid with Kar ... x. I leave it for 5 minutes and simply mist, I don’t even wipe it after drying. The car becomes clean and without divorce and unnecessary effort. By the way, the color of the car is black :-). So with such a sink and special liquid I learned how to wash a car in 20 minutes.

Advantages: Long high pressure hose
The hose and wire are reeled up compactly.
Low water consumption (70-80 liters are spent on a thorough cleaning of a minibus, and if you just knock off dust and dirt, then 20 liters)

Disadvantages: Very critical to pressure. The water itself will not draw.
Foam nozzle - the foam turns out bad with a huge consumption of detergent

Comment: I use imported water. The cube had to be put on 1 meter of height to ensure sufficient pressure at the entrance to the AED. If there is an air bubble at the AED entrance, it will not work. Will trickle thinner than the owner. It is treated by removing the pistol from the hose of the VD and passing water until the jet into the sky scores. But if there were several bubbles with the second and subsequent ones, you will have to mess around the same way. The input filter is a must! The pressure is weak, if you have more than one car - take more powerful. It takes at least 40 minutes for one wash of the minibus: get-collect-remove, the AVD itself and the supply hose, the washing itself, the dilution of the concentrate. And it is without drying. On a gray passenger car - about 25 minutes, on a black one, 35, and a gazelle ... well, wash it at all ... Even with detergent, you have to walk with a mop to wash it properly. Instead of a foam nozzle, I use a household sprayer for 50 rubles - much more economical. The tool also took Shtilevskoe 800 r for 10 liters of concentrate. I recommend the shop on Tipanova 10. True, the kind sellers told us that the water itself sucks from a meter of depth. This is not true. I'll pick it up sometime.
The bottom line: you won't save money on washing. By the time too. But peace of mind, the absence of queues and a certain relaxation in the process of washing - it is worth something. But the second time would not have bought already.

Advantages: Build quality, characteristics are as stated, price, quiet.

Disadvantages: a foam nozzle is put on the end of the handle, where the flat nozzle and the milling cutter are put on and it is not very good to apply foam with a fishing rod. a disadvantage, but a wish to the manufacturer.
The weight did not seem big to me, since the wheels roll well. The main thing is that the filling is metallic and not plastic.

Comment: I chose a long time. I compared with Karcher 5.200 and hesitated for a long time. Liked and ergonomok, ease of reeling hose, design, storage nozzles. Quietly running, the engine is turned off at the time of the break.
The main thing is to use a good carrying with a cross-section of cable 2.5 sq. Mm and immediately put a water inlet filter. Shampoo even Hammer budget normally launders.
I hope the operation will not be.
The service center in St. Petersburg is located in Parnassus, it is stamped in the warranty card.

Advantages: The long high pressure hose on the hinges does not twist, you can change the plane of the jet, it is very convenient when washing the wheel arches and wheels, retractable handle, good equipment.

Disadvantages: The foam nozzle is really rather weak, the foam turns out to be thin even at maximum dosage.

Comment: I think that in its price the sink is well equipped enough, powerful and practical. I use it with pleasure.

Advantages: High-quality and reliable assembly.

Disadvantages: No specials.

Comment: Took to wash the car. With their duties washing handles well. But for this you need:
1) to provide water supply at least by gravity (for one crossover wash it takes about 70-80 liters of water);
2) buy a good nozzle-frother (costs 2-2.5 tr);
3) buy a professional active shampoo (concentrate costs from 1 tr. For 5 liters);
If you don’t provide these three items, you’ll have to have a car with a bucket and a brush.

Advantages: High-quality assembly, two nozzles (mill and planar), foam nozzle. Gives good outlet pressure. Dirt blows completely. Himself sucks. Metal pomp. Convenient to transport (wheels, handle). At the planar nozzle pressure is regulated. Convenient when you need to rinse without pressure. Low price for such a device, the highest in the line.

Disadvantages: A foam gun gives emulsion, not foam. The effect of contactless washing is not. Weight (but this is inevitable in the presence of metal inside). The hose reel is convenient, but it is annoying every day. Others until 9 months. not found.

Comment: : Long chose. Overpay for the brand (all known) did not want. As a result, I received an inexpensive, high-quality apparatus of pre-professional class. The only drawback is that the factory-made foam nozzles do not go to them (it does not count for the native one), but they are on sale together with fittings in nete. The price is about 2 tr. Bought. Tested. The effect of professional contactless washing.

Advantages: The high-quality case of a sink with a compartment for storage of nozzles. Behind there is a place for placing a container for detergent and for nozzles too - very convenient, no need to climb into the storage compartment - everything is at hand. Aluminum telescopic handle for transportation and a small handle from the bottom so that it is convenient to carry and load the sink. Everything folds up, retracts, nothing rolls anywhere. Long reinforced hose - 9 meters on the drum. Good working pressure - 135-140 bar, depending on the modification. On my car wash the pressure of 135 bar is indicated - for my domestic needs - quite enough. Includes rotary nozzle, flat-jet with pressure adjustment and tank nozzle (~ 0.5 l) for spraying detergent with adjusting the amount of supply (sprays fine! The main thing is to use high-quality shampoo).

Disadvantages: Not yet revealed.Perhaps for someone the disadvantage is weight - not 17 kg as indicated everywhere, but 20 kg is written on the wash itself.

Comment: Chose a sink primarily for home, garden, and then for the garage. As a result, I stopped at Karcher K 5.600 and Stihl RE 128 Plus. Pleased with the choice - a tool that is just a pleasure to work with. Quality and ergonomics are at their best! PS: For the year of use, the impressions remained positive. Everything that can be washed is washed: sinks, terrace, pickup, motorcycle, bicycles, country furniture .. In the winter, I kept the sink in the house, I did not preserve it. At the time of purchase, there were no nozzles in the city’s shops for this car wash, but they were caught on a sale from Bosch. A soft brush for washing machines and a brush for washing large surfaces (terraces, paths, walls) were purchased. There is a slight backlash, but not critical - water does not let through. In principle, Bosch has a set of adapters for sinks from other manufacturers, in which one nozzle after a little refinement comes up perfectly (for a self-made product).

Advantages: Excellent build quality. No gaps, backlashes, rolling. Everything is safe. Great pressure. Excellent value for money. A friend Karcher, all the same, only 2 thousand more. Not to the water temperature (you can wash it with ice water). Retractable handle-can be transported in the trunk.

Disadvantages: Poor himself takes water. The manual says about the need to purchase additional. the pump. A foam nozzle, like most other sinks, does not give foam, but gives some kind of liquid soap solution. Therefore, it would not be superfluous to buy a separate nozzle for foam. The handle for winding the hose constantly falls off.

Comment: Highly recommend.

Advantages: Very high-quality assembly and materials (aluminum-brass pump).
Good performance.
Flexible and very durable HP hose.
Wheels on the rubber course + high handle for transportation.
All accessories (needle, nozzles, jars, extenders, etc.) are placed on / inside the sink.
It sucks itself, so you can "spill" it for the winter with non-freezing.

Disadvantages: Included are a few mounts for additional accessories, while the instructions do not say a word where and how to attach them.
It weighs under 20 kg, but reliably.
In winter you need to store in a heated room.

Comment: it is written on the Market that there is a sandblasting nozzle in the kit, in fact it does not exist. Minisinks (not only this one) need to be stored in a heated room in the winter, or pour a non-freeze, as it is impossible to pour out water, always a little, but remains inside.

Advantages: Just a great machine. Nothing new and nothing more. Workmanship - as always at this company, at altitude. It was pleasantly struck by strong wheels, retractable handle with aluminum (?), Everything is strong, without backlash and cracks. For this price, "yellowish" can rest. He takes water from a barrel installed one meter higher, the pressure is not maximum, but quite sufficient. Silent, disconnects itself during breaks.

Disadvantages: Did not reveal. I would like to buy the rear grips for a model with a drum, where the HP hose is wound around the model without a drum - it will be where the water intake hose will be wound .. :)

Comment: If you can afford to spend on a good sink, and you do not need extra bells and whistles - you will not regret for the future - it is maintainable, and not disposable.
