I agree with above hawkish, they probably cost less to buy than to hire and they do the job cos I have one for my blue circle garden.

Yep m8 for the price you'll be better of buying one, anything around 100-120bar will be good enough to clean the patio.
Karcher are among the best and expensive but they do come with a good range of spares.

I know you can get cheaper Karcher pressure washers but this one is a pretty decent price for £80.
Tesco Karcher pressure washer
btw....Tesco also have other Karchers cheaper.

Thanks everyone for that - some VERY usefull advice there too. I Got a Karcher from B&Q today as its 10% off today so it cost £99 as I went for the more powerfull one and have spent all afternoon pressure washing all sorts of stuff in my garden lol

I think the motherwell grounds ppl use them to water the grass/sand/mud!!!!
PMSL.
Did you say GRASS?????? :err:
defiantly a boys toy, its strangely therapeutic power washing anything........our front is all brick and house is north facing so a fair bit of the drive never gets sun so the mos comes back most years, but a couple of hours with power washer sorts it..the mrs says she cant see the difference between power washing and hoovering i told her i do outside..

Wouldn't be without my Karcher, I'm on my second one after my first one died a death. (2nd hand). Brings the garden, drive etc up a treat. Watch it around any painted/old sheds or suchlike, it'll strip the paint off or rip the old wood off...!!!
Lent it to Dad a few months back, and I can't get the bleddy thing back now!

definately buy one as opposed to hiring, and also it works great on concrete, tired it in the garden and its much cleaner...

If you do use them on the car, tip... make sure the windows are FULLY UP before ya blast it i've made that mistake a few times , windows was only open a gnats knacker and whole of inside was covered in a wet mist lol.
also flaking paint/rust spot some powerfull ones will take off the paint if its flaking.
