Today his name is known to consumers by the company of the same name, which has existed on the market for over 80 years. Among other things, the legendary brand produces high-pressure washers that surpass all its closest competitors in quality and reliability.

In reviews, a cheap sink is praised for its high maximum pressure of 140 bar, but, if necessary, it can be significantly reduced.
