Husqvarna Tilematic TS 250 X3 Wet Tile Saw Review

The Husqvarna Tilematic TS 250 X3 is known for its durability. The Tilematic has been used in the rental and construction business for a long time. It delivers more power with its high torque 1-1/2 hp (T.E.F.C.) Baldor motor, which is specifically designed for this saw. The motor turns its blades at 2760 RPM’s using a premium, 6-groove poly V-belt. The V-belts run smoother with less vibration, reducing belt slippage and transmitting more power to the saw blade shaft. It has a large 18″ x 16-1/2″ conveyor style cart that handles the larger tiles with ease. With smooth rolling wheels precision cutting can be maintained. The Husqvarna Tilematic rip cuts up to 24″ or diagonally cuts up to 18″ tiles. It can also cut up to 3 3/4″ in depth. The plunge feature uses springs to aid in the cutting process in order to make precision cuts. The cutting head is adjustable with three holes in the support arm allowing you to use profiling blades of 6″,8″,or 10″ wet diamond blades. Changing a blade is easy with the shaft lock mechanism. 

You can choose between a galvanized water pan or stainless steel which will provide longevity. It also has a patent-pending sliding water pan to help with larger cuts and to allow the user to get closer when they are making small cuts.

Husqvarna has another patent-pending feature. The adjustable stand that can be raised or lowered from 29″ to 33″ in height using a spring assistance mechanism. There is also the option of a stand with wheels for easier transport of this tile saw since it is 39 1/4×25 inches and weighs 105 pounds with the stand.

Nilfisk C120 Pressure Washer Review | Best Pressure Washer Reviews

Nilfisk C120 Pressure Washer Description

The more powerful older brother of the Nilfisk C110, the Nilfisk C120 pressure washer packs a 1,650-watt motor into a compact body. This upright pressure washer, which weighs in at 12 kilograms, features an aluminum pump and is equipped with wheels to make pressure cleaning quick and easy. The trigger has an auto start/stop function, so the machine stops spraying as soon as the trigger is released. This makes pressure washing easy and reduces unnecessary wear and tear on the motor. In addition to two cleaning nozzles, the C120 comes with a patio cleaner and extension lance. The accessories store on-board the machine and an instructional DVD is included.

Nilfisk C120 Pressure Washer Reviews

Most of the users who reviewed this product were happy with its performance and pleased with the value. Several reviewers had previously owned other makes of pressure washers and commented that the Nilfisk C120 offers an additional 10 psi of pressure and does a better job overall with cleaning. Some reviewers also stated that the attachments included with the C120 were better than those from comparable models. Another favorite feature was the aluminum pump, which withstands wear and tear better than the plastic pumps found in many competitors’ pressure washers.

Several reviewers stated that this pressure washer outperforms more expensive pressure cleaners from other companies, including Kärcher. One reviewer even stated his apprehension about buying this unknown brand of pressure cleaner, but once he learned they had offices in 40 countries, he decided to take a chance. He was very happy with the purchase in the end.

While the majority of the reviews and ratings were positive, reviewers did have a few small complaints about the Nilfisk C120. A few reviewers commented that it was difficult to store the hoses and would have liked to have a better hose storage/management option. Another felt that it should have included more attachments for the price.

Several reviewers experienced problems when they tried to use the included patio cleaner attachment. Many of them stated that the attachment fell apart after very little use or began leaking so bad the attachment was useless. Although this does sound like a serious manufacturing problem, the washer itself and the additional nozzles performed admirably. Another user stated that the plastic that attached the hose to the unit split on his washer, but once he replaced it with a metal one, the machine worked well.

Overall, reviewers were pleased with the functionality and performance of the best commercial pressure washer for the money. Many people commented on the fact that Nilfisk is not a well-known name in pressure washers, but ended up happy with their choice to try this unknown brand. For people who want this pressure washer specifically for the patio cleaner attachment, it may be worth investing in a different pressure washer or at least buying a better quality patio attachment. Another option would be to use one of the other attachments for cleaning the patio.
