Recommendations for pressure washer and snow foam applicator

That kind of package was 600€ including delivery. It has 15 m really flexible rubber hose.
One important thing when you are choosing pressure washer is how much water it delivers. Kränzle delivers twice as much water compared to cheap toys. And car washing is basicly 50% faster. I have Stihl 500€ pressure washer in my other garage but it is so toy..
In the end, i really dont want to save money when we are talking long time tools.

That's not bad actually

This is true. Most suppliers advertize with pressure, but that's just a gimmick. You can easily change pressure with a different nozzle, but it won't get the job done better (most 'upgraded models' have stil the same pump but different nozzle, but that's not a true upgrade).
Good quality motor, good quality pump housing is what sets the performance.
Good quality hoses, housing, reels, pressurelance is what keeps the thing useable.
I had to scrap my last nilfisk because replacing a housing part, a hose and a pressure cut off mechanism was more expensive than a new&better unit (again I bought a nilfisk c140something on sale (but with reel&rubber hose)).
When you're done pressure washing, leave the pressure washer running for about 20sec without water, so it pumps all its water out of the pump&hoses. (you can see when the water stops). That way you wont get frost damage or excessive chalk deposition damage. Don't let the pump run too long without water. When there's no more water coming out, stop.

Yep, 600euros is not bad in my opinion. Kränzle really pushes water through and feels solid quality item. I have had that unit 3 years now and no single problem so far. 1152T model comes with 15metres of pressure cable, it is enough for me. Washer can be in garage just roll out that hose from drum and go washing outside the house.
Next summer first oil change. And you get spares too.. everything you need.
One recommendation if you buy kränzle, buy water filter too.
