Wilks-USA RX550i Electric Pressure Washer 3800 PSI with Patio Cleaner, Rotary Brush, Triangular Brush & Gutter Lance With 26m Extension Hose & 5 Multi-Function Nozzles

Product Information

A yellow 15° high pressure nozzle is the ultimate patio cleaning flat sprayer in my opinion. You can focus the jet on a small enough area to clean off all but the most stubborn bits, but it can still work fast. It’s not a good idea to use this nozzle on your car or motorbike though. It’s a bit too aggressive for that. One pressure washer that has all of these things is the Karcher K7 Premium Full Control Plus Home. You wouldn’t believe how many driveways we cleaned (for free!) to be able to tell you that this is the best pressure washer for cleaning your driveway and patio.

With a maximum water flow rate of 8.7 l/min and a working flow rate of 7 l/min the 2.5 kW motor capacity can shift a serious amount of water, which is something to bear in mind if you’re on a water meter! The onboard storage is particularly handy as well. The four tubular holders in the body of the washer can hold all the wand accessories when not in use. It’s great to have somewhere to hide them, especially if, like me, you have a habit of losing bits like this.

The diagrams are hard to make out, and some of the accessories supplied look different to the ones in the manual, so you can’t just go by the pictures. It was a disappointing start, but after a bit of head scratching, I got the gist of it.

Wilks-USA RX550i Electric Pressure Washer 3800 PSI with Patio

If your pressure washer has a variable pressure gauge and you are able to adjust the level of pressure it gives out (usually found on petrol pressure washers) you might wonder what pressure is optimal for cleaning your driveway. When you are buying a driveway or patio pressure washer it’s handy to get as many accessories included as possible. Most of the pressure washers on this list come with suitable extras that make them perfect for concrete cleaning. Although my first impression of the Wilks USA RX550i wasn’t good, thanks to a useless manual and a few swapped out parts, it was thankfully just a temporary blip. Once I’d fiddled with all the parts and worked out what did what, I found this to be a very useful tool to have around. This is a lot of pressure washer – and for many people, it will be too much. It is great to have all that power when you need it. And with the attachments, you will be able to do a professional job in any condition and on any surface. Conclusion

You may think that you don’t need this kind of cleaning power, and you may well be right, however, one thing to keep in mind is that with increased power comes reduced cleaning time, so if you’re replacing a more standard powered domestic pressure washer, and washing the car or the patio was a long & thankless task, you may find that with this washer the job is done much faster. Write: DIY Garden (Harris Creative Ltd), Lytchett House, 13 Freeland Park, Wareham Road, Poole, Dorset, BH16 6FA Although they’re not as well known as the other big yellow pressure washer brand, Wilks USA have an impressive range of electric and petrol powered pressure washers. They make them for DIYers as well as professional users, so they should know their stuff. The standard gun and lance with fully adjustable pressure allows you to clean all surfaces regardless of sensitivity or stubbornness, however you may want to lower the power on certain surfaces including wooden fences, garden furniture. A green 25° medium pressure nozzle is the happy medium between dirt blasting power and a paint protecting spray strength. It’s gentle enough to avoid destroying your paint job, but it’ll still get rid of baked on dirt and bird droppings. It’ll do a good job on your patio too.

Green Nozzle: This one is for powerful cleaning of larger areas, delivering a larger 25-degree pattern. Once again, this produces a powerful jet of water, so caution is advised. Although BAR pressure and hose length arent directly related, normally the higher the pressure, the longer the hose.

The pressure is down as a bad point, but that is because its continuous pressure is really 155 bar. In the Box If you don’t have one built-in, you can buy them separately and use them as an add on. These are great for cleaning cars but also applying detergent to large areas of concrete. Copper motors are the preferred option for commercial use, where both performance and reliability are of prime importance, and induction motors are the usual choice for more premium commercial washers.
