Looking or a basic pressure washer and the Bosch entry level only comes with a "fixed fan lance".Some of the higher end (or cheap brands) bundle other attachements, but I don't know how important they are. Vacuum cleaner extra attachements are essential...Those of you who use a pressure washer, do you use the 'extra' bits?TIASuzanne

Personally I wouldn't use the fixed lance I have with mine on my car as it would be too powerful.Although in theory you could just take a step back away from the car to reduce the pressure.Mine also comes with a rotary attachment. I've tried it a couple of times but found a hand wash produces better results with less effort. has some good facts about pressure washers.Steven.

Do you have a pressure washer?

I find I use the flat spray wand about 2/3rds of the time and the rotating pencil jet on the few occations you want really aggressive cleaning. Having said that, the power of the washer may have a big impact on the effectiveness of the different types of wands/spray patterns.

Pity you where not looking for this item 2 months ago? Aldi had a 2Kw

130bar (probably 110bar max)for 79GBP according to Aldi sales it literally sold like hot cakes throughout the UK. The PW was a rebadged Karcher.

Take a look in Argos, but don't buy anything with a brush motor as they don't last long.
