Pressure Washers
By Victor Thomas
Pressure washers are very useful for an effective cleaning even in the areas and corners where cleaning normally is difficult. There are various types of pressure washers. It forces water at a higher rate, in the area where cleaning is to be done, thus effectively cleaning the given place. It is not necessary to go for the latest and the most expensive pressure washer in the market. It is required to have a good quality washer device, than looking at the cost of the washer.
Basically washers are of 2 types, one that is operated by gas and the other which is electric operated. The one that is operated by electricity is designed for small time cleaning, as they do not produce a high pressure in the water jutting out. So they are useful for small area cleaning and also in places which are cleaned on a regular basis. On the other hand, gas washers are the high-duty type. They are used to clean places in a professional manner, as they produce a very high pressure of water that comes out. This helps in cleaning the surface more effectively and neatly.
Pressure washers also have options of hot and cold water usage. Not all have both hot and cold water facility. Hot water cleaning can be used for more effective and perfect cleaning in places where dirt and grease are predominant and quite stubborn. However, hot water washers are expensive to the normal washers and so can be bought in case the feature is useful. The measure of the pressure in which the water shoots from such a washer is called a PSI or the Pounds per Square Inch. The higher the PSI, the greater the pressure of the water being shot from the machine. 3000-4000 PSI is quite a good measure, for such washers.
Pressure washers can come in three types, in terms of their weight and portability, namely the portable type, Skid mounted type and the Trailer Rig. The portable washer is a light weighted and easy to carry washer, as the name suggests. They are also more affordable and are used to clean a considerably lesser area than the other types. The Skid mounted or truck mounted type of washers are completely business-oriented. One of the negative aspects of this type is that the truck could break down quite frequently, resulting in being repaired for about a week. Trailer Rig is impressive to look at and also is aimed to serve for commercial purpose. Also pulling a trailer is easier and better. A trailer rig also has facilities to store tools, wands, hoses, chemicals etc, if designed properly.
Pressure washers are very useful to one and all and its use in the commercial and business fronts are definitely worth being listed, as they make life much simpler and cleaner!

Nilfisk E140 2-9 S X-Tra Pressure Washer with 2100W Induction Motor 9m Hose Reel
I have now had a Nilfisk E140 2-9 S X-Tra pressure washer for 4 years. For a consumer washer it is of good quality and uses a metal pump, unlike many others which use a plastic pump. Although I have rated it as 5-stars, in its standard form I would only rate as 4-stars.
The washer failed after the first use but was repaired under the warranty, with carriage paid to and from the Nilfisk factory in Penrith. A pressure valve had failed. This early life failure was very annoying but the repair was carried out quickly and courteously. It has worked faultlessly ever since. Spares and accessories are available from Pressure Clean Ltd.
The E140 2-9 S X-Tra replaced a smaller Kew washer and the larger, more powerful E140 2-9 S X-Tra made cleaning a large driveway and patio much easier and faster. My advice would be to use the most powerful washer (highest pressure, highest flow) that you can afford and for which you can find room to store it. If you value your time, saving money by buying a cheap small washer is a false economy.
A standard straight nozzle and a turbo nozzle is provided, together with a sprayer. The turbo nozzle produces a rotating cone shaped jet which covers a larger area than the straight nozzle, but produces a less concentrated cleaning action and, like all turbo nozzles has a relatively short life. I find that I mostly use the turbo nozzle. The straight nozzle produces the most powerful jet for those "difficult to remove" areas. The sprayer is ideal for applying a patio cleaner wetting agent. For patio cleaning I would recommend also buying the Nilfisk Patio Plus attachment. A wall hanging bracket is also provided, however to prevent damage it is essential that the washer is stored in a frost-free location.
The washer is generally very well made. However, the hose-reel storage drum is a good idea but the standard hose is of poor quality. The hose has a plastic outer cover which makes it very stiff. It is therefore very difficult to wind onto the drum, and it constantly tries to coil up again when in use. Even worse, the plastic hose hardens and stiifens more with age and eventually splits. Replacing the standard hose with an industrial quality rubber pressure hose transforms the hose-reel system and makes the washer much easier and less frustrating to use. An excellent replacement hose, complete with fittings, is available from Q Services Ltd (0172 982 5656) - they trade on eBay under the name of Qwashers. Some owners have reported problems with the hose reel handle, but it works faultlessly provided it is fitted correctly.
With a replacement rubber hose the Nilfisk E140 2-9 S X-Tra is an excellent pressure washer supported by very good customer service from the manufacturer, and is highly recommended.

A pressure washer is a mechanical sprayer which uses significant pressure to clean objects and surfaces like property, paths, vehicles and concrete. These devices can remove many different kinds of dirt including mud, grime, dust and loose paint.
Parts
The basic parts of a power washer include a high pressure hose, a switch in the style of a trigger gun and an engine which drives water to the pump. Gasoline and electricity are what usually powers the engine of these washers. The pump on a pressure washer gets H2O from the connection that it is connected to and the energy generated by the engine causes the pressure. Since the washer may only use as much as the source can give, the connection must offer an adequacy of H2O. If you happen to run out of liquid while the pump is working, this can highly destroy the pump parts.
Where to Buy
Pressure washers are bought in local hardware stores for consumer consumption, as opposed to industrial utilization. These washers are operated by electricity, which is convenient in most cases, or by gasoline, which delivers pressure up to twice that of electrical types. You must keep in mind though that washers generated by crude give off hazardous fumes, which make electrical types more suitable for indoors.
The Background, Applications and Kinds of Pressure Washers
The first pressure washer was invented in 1950 by Alfred K�rcher, who pioneered the Alfred K�rcher GmbH & Co. KG, according to legal records. Cleaning systems and high pressure cleaners offered by Alfred K�rcher GmbH & Co. KG make it very well known.
Pressure washers are applied in industry because of their ability to slice metal and glass without any dust. Power is certainly a part that describes power washers. At a utmost power, power washers are expended to clean establishments or to get rid of covers. Some individuals utilize power washers on a medium setting to adequately cleanse graffiti from walls.
Nowadays, several types of power washers such as diesel and gas powered, hydraulic washers, high pressure steam cleaners and ultra high power washers are now available in the industry. Chemical injectors are now being used in some power washers to allow using detergents for better cleaning.
Considerations and Warnings
It is very important to note that pressure washers are potentially dangerous machines. For example, power washers produce pressure by the nozzle that is capable of stripping flesh. This is the primary reason why it is suggested to follow the safety instructions provided by the manufacturer. One must keep in mind that directly aiming the pressure washer at surface has the possibility of breaking it due to high pressure, causing several surface cracks.

Kärcher K2.120 Air-Cooled Pressure Washer
By John Ryan
I bought this to replace an ageing original (10 years old) model which was incredibly heavy. Must admit I was shocked to find just how light this was. It's got plenty of power to wash a car, and I've used it to clean the patio without any problems.
You could pay more to buy a more powerful model, but the way I think about it - why pay a huge premium to save maybe 30 mins twice a year.
Well built (typical German engineering) - overall very pleased

Kärcher K3.575 Jubilee Pressure Washer
By The old man
This is loads of fun. I still haven't found the assembly instructions, but common sense and looking at the pictures on the box prevailed. No idea if the detergent actually achieves anything though. I blasted 20 years of grime from my patio in a pleasant half hour. I got carried away and blasted the garden gate thinking I'd remove the green build up on it - I discovered it's an excellent paint blaster as it also removed the wood stain on the gate - still, at least I have a good 'key' for a new coat of wood stain.
When I bought this I had thought I'd also use it to clean the car - well why not? On reflection, as my car is a 30 year old Triumph TR7 I suspect I'll be left with little more than an engine, 4 wheels and 2 seats - so maybe I'll stick to a sponge.
Not sure what use the 'decking' brush is as I haven't got any decking - maybe I should have used that on the gate.
Anyway - great fun - you'll never lose a water fight with the neighbours again.

Karcher K2.300 T50 Air-Cooled Pressure Washer
This was a repalcement for a Bosche power washer that failed to impress and Karcher are so much in the top suppliers of these machines and this had excellent reviews and wow were they spot on. It works like a treat and is so powerful plus the circular paving stones washer makes light work of the job. Seems like a great machine so far and excellent value for money. One point do invest in Amazon Prime its well worth the moeny to get items delivered within 24 hours of placing the order.
I don't normally make the effort to write reviews for a product, but the Karcher K2.300 is absolutely fantastic.
I got it specifically to clean my brick patio. It was covered in grass/moss/weeds/algae.
I also purchased the Karcher Patio & Deck Detergent, but the K2.300 was delivered before the detergent.
There is no need for detergent. First try it before buying detergent. It works that well. The K2.300 cleans every brick within seconds to the point that it looked brand new.

AA HPW 110 Pressure Washer
The first one I bought was good for one car wash. Got it out for the next and nothing worked. Changed fuses etc., to no effect. Replacement was quick,no problem and it still works very well. Have used the well known brand and this really is better. Good value with no silly tools that are never used. Many thanks.
I purchased this and it was really easy to put together the only thing i found disappointing was that you couldnt change the pressure at the end of the nozzle so making it spray a smaller more powerful pressure yopu just couldnt change it at all.

AA HPW 110 Deluxe Pressure Washer
The pressure obviously drops when using the brush attachment. To wash the car you fill a bucket with your detergent, pull out a plastic hose which hangs in the bucket, whiz around the car, then put the pressure attachment back on and rinse off the soap. I no longer dread washing my car.
I have not yet used the patio/path cleaning attachment so cannot comment on this part. It is very light to carry and if you have a lot of steps outside this is handy and quicker than using the wheels.
Do not buy this if you are looking for one of those monsters that will do heavy industrial cleaning - you get what you pay for and for me this is a great, handy little machine! AA HPW 110 Deluxe Pressure Washer
