The machine everyone starts with · review
A hundred and fifty bar from Nilfisk with almost nothing else specified — the numbers are the argument.
The bottom line Capable and unusually quiet about itself. Nilfisk publishes flow on the Core 140 — here it does not, and the page says so.
The Classic 150 offers 150 bar from a 2 200 W motor, with a coarse inlet filter and very little else on the listing.
A hundred and fifty bar is a genuine step above the entry machines on this site, which sit between 110 and 135. On concrete, stone and a drive that shows.
No litres per hour. That is worth stating plainly rather than filling in, because Nilfisk publishes flow on the Core 140 elsewhere on this site — 465 l/h alongside 140 bar. Two machines from the same maker, and only one of them can be compared honestly on the number that decides how long a terrace takes.
The coarse filter on the inlet is the cheapest maintenance on any machine here. It blocks before the pump does, and a blocked filter produces exactly the symptom people diagnose as a failing pump: pulsing, then falling pressure.

Because Nilfisk is normally the brand that publishes it. The Core 140 on this site gives pressure, flow, area performance and input power on the same listing. Here you get pressure and watts, which means this machine cannot be ranked against its own sibling on the figure that decides cleaning speed.
Grit from the mains is what wears a pump and rounds a nozzle into an oval. The inlet filter catches it. Check it after any work on the water main, and on well or borehole water add a proper inline filter — the supplied screen is a strainer, not a filter.
140 bar · 450 l/h · 2 100 W · integrated storage
The Bosch that finally publishes a flow rate — 450 l/h, which is what the UniversalAquatak machines never gave you.

135 bar · 3-in-1 nozzle · 7 m hose
The 125 with ten more bar and two more metres of hose — and the second of those is the one you notice.
