I have two big patio cleans coming up this weekend, I have a decent petrol pressure washer but using the lance is back breaking work, thinking of investing today on a whirlaway or something similar, will it be £400 well spent?

If your machine is capable of powering one then yes, they make it easier.

Providing you jet correctly yes, you need at least 15LPM @ 150 Bar to use a whirlaway and they prefer flow over pressure.

An 18" Whirlaway should be about 370 depending on your source :)

The machine I have only does 9.3LPM up to 250 bar, will this not be man enough?

No it won't

My machines are 21 lpm @ 200 bar and if the patio or drive is weedy or mossy or has black spot a whirlaway isn't man enough to clean

Ok, cheers Darran. Can I ask you where you got your machine from and how much, I've joined a traders site and I'm getting a few come in so it's time to invest, thanks.

My first was from qwashers @£1500 2 years ago on a barrow with lance and hose

The other from Rutland pumps (Ben M) last month - just a PW on a base plate at ...  Ahem, well, I'm not allowed to say, but worth emailing Mr Marriott ;)
