It is getting to the time of year when the flagstones will be washed

In the past I've used n ordinary pressure washer with a 'fanned' jet
to go over the paving (taking care to avoid the pointing between).
As there is c85sq m of paving to front, sides and rear I'm toying
with the idea of getting a washer with a 'patio' attachment
(basically two spinning jets enclosed within a bowl).

I had a small Karcher which was OK, but a bit underpowered.When it aged
I replaced it with a Nilfisk

I was disappointed with the Karchers I'd had - reliability was a bit
questionable and I'm now put off by the price.

This was more powerful, the parts click together much more easily, and
the hose reel is handy.

Yes, I can see the advantage of the reel - hoses can be awkward things.
Is it a 'flow through' or do you have to completely unreel it before use?

Useful advice on the power/click together. Thankyou.

The biggest problem with a patio brush is sand or grit getting into the
pivot and affecting rotation of the spray arm.

Something I'll watch out for.

Have a read of the pressure washer FAQ for a bit more to consider:
