Which pressure washer would be best for this pathway?

mk1

Hello experts. 
I have this front walk way which I tried to clean it by scrubbing with a brush and clothes detergent. 

upon failure I learned that a pressure washer can do wonders. I went to Bunnings and found a huge variety of pressure washer. Got confused and came back without buying. 

can anyone advise me which pressure washer I should go for. Picture is attached to give an idea on what I have to deal with. 

ideally I would spend around 150/- but can go for more if there’s nothing which can do this job within this budget. 

Thanks in advance for your guidance.

Hi @mk1,

There are plenty of options around the $150 mark that will do the job adequately. I'd suggest you look at the Gerni 3000 1670PSI 1400W High Pressure Washer, as it comes with the patio cleaning head, which is great for large surface areas. I have the same unit; the only addition I've made is purchasing the Gerni 7m Extension Hose. I've had several pressure washers in the past and wanted a long hose so I could leave the motor unit in one spot and not have to drag it around. Still, the unit is supplied with a five-metre hose which is adequate.

Once you start going up in price above that, you find more powerful units that will get the job done faster. If you're like me and have a couple of hours to spare, the Gerni unit will do the job just fine. Remember, although pressure washers are amazing at blasting away debris, they can struggle to remove stains. If the unit struggles to restore the pavers, you need to use chemical cleaners like 30 Seconds.
