When the sun starts coming back out, it’s nice to be reminded that the world isn’t usually dark and dreary. The trouble is, after a long autumn and winter, your patio probably won’t look at bright and cheerful as it ought to. A pressure washer is by far the best way to get them back to looking their best, and luckily you can snag one for a bargain price just as the weather’s starting to turn for the better.
Right now the is available for £180 down from £219.99 at Amazon, with a year-long manufacturer’s guarantee.
Ideal for patios, driveways, bikes, motorbikes, garden tools, and outdoor furniture, this power washer will blast through dirt in no time. It has a maximum pressure of 130 bar, which should be more than enough to revive even the most tired patio tiles.
A series of nozzles is included, from a spray lance and dirt blaster to a T 5 surface cleaner, and there’s a bottle of stone and facade cleaner included too. The high-pressure hose is six metres long, with each tool easily swapped on and off.

“I did a lot of research before deciding on and purchasing this one, I have to say I am not disappointed,” said one five-star review. “It’s compact, lightweight, easy to set up and powerful. It has brought my Indian stone and fence posts up a treat. I also cleaned the algae that had accumulated on my brickwork, all spotless now. Excellent buy!”

“Nice kit,” said another happy customer. “The rotory patio cleaner is something else. I’ve done the patio, decking and fencing, and it all looks like new with very little effort. I use it for cars every week and it’s cut a two-car wash time from 45 to 30 minutes.”
Another added: “This is the most fun you will have. It’s the first time I have ever cleaned my garden paths and couldn’t believe the difference. They came up like new. It is a bit addictive once you start. Worth every penny.”
Some minor design issues have knocked the stars off some reviews, however. “It’s fine but the clip to remove the hose from the unit (for storage between uses) is impossibly fiddly and is now jammed shut,” said one three-star review. “Other than that, very happy.”
Another said: “They need to spend some more time on the design. Expect to stop in order to untangle mains lead, hosepipe and power hose which wrap themselves around each other in use. We have landed men on the moon – surely there’s a way around this?”
