MacAllister MAC 1

Used twice started to leek at hose joint found that the rubber o-ring had failed. Can't buy replacements so had to buy complete new hose, same thing happened with new hose. B&Q are a waste of space did not want to know. Another company who will bev wondering why they went out of business in a few years?

an unbelievable piece of equipment bought from bq, was used not more than twice on a small area and the exhaust guard blew off, ok i took that as a one off small fault, to my mesmerise after about six times of use the whole carrying handles and wheels just dropped apart, the small welds had just broken, i was left with a engine spinning round and round in my garden, the good thing that has made me more wiser out of it, is dont deal with bq, they deal in piles of cr,,p,, lol

on electrical goods no backup service after one year on MacAllister machines.

This is a really bad purchase. Had water putting out of the gun so replaced it at expense to me. Same thing happened. Couldn't get another as store had stopped supplying. I wonder why. Tried a universal gun and lance but had to buy the hose. No. 3 now broken as water pours out the connection. So that's 5 guns and lances I've had. Think I've spent well over £100 on replacement parts and still can't use pressure washer. Giving up

This has been the worst purchase I have ever had. Its 3 years old had two lance's taken out to today lance once again covered me with water

Bought from B&Q will not by any of their products again nor go to B&Q as there service was terrable

bought this from b+Q. took it home conected water and plugged it in. It ran for less than three seconds then stopped.took it straight back not impressed at all. Will not buy any MacAllister product again.

We saw the Mcallister 1700watt 130bar Pressure Washer at B

bought this washer in 2006 and has been used very heavily to clean my JCB digger, about 250 square meters of slabs 3 times a year taking 3days each time running about 6 hours each day continuous, used for cleaning 28 foot swimming pool, plus son uses it for his car bussiness, only just today adjustable lance end has broke ( i have all the bad luck )

And no i dont work for B&Q . BUT IF YOUR READING THIS I WOULD APPRECIATE A FREE LANCE HA HA

We should have known better than to buy the Mac allister pressure washer, never again and to all those that may think about buying it .. DON'T

Purchased 2009 used 3 times to clean patios , so not an item used regulary, only ocassional usage. The trigger mechanisum packs up water going everywhere that was early 2010, but as out of the 12 month warrenty got in touch with spares and purchased a new trigger unit (june 2010) cost £47, guess what used 2/3 times trigger unit packs up again with water going everywhere a couple of days ago Sept 10 2011 to be precise

Awaiting B&Q resonse; if no joy then I will refer to Trading standards as without doubt this product is not fit for purpose

I bought this pressure washer last year, I used it on my decking and cleaned the car, I put it away for the winter took it out the following summer and discovered that it would only work for a few minutes.

Basically the motor keeps cutting out, it runs for about three minutes then cuts out and then restarts after about two more minutes.

I found that bouncing it off a wall can help, doesn't help the pressure washer but made me feel a bit better.
