Just looking for a new presser and needs to be portable enough to be carried on the roof and powerful enough to clean the drive way and everything in between
Hi Ethan @ethan18
For my "Roof Experience No.3" (corrugated iron), I purchased one with a 10 metre hose, which was essential and very beneficial. 👌
Cheers.
Hi @ethan18,
It sounds like anything from budget-friendly to mid-range units would do the job for you there. The larger units would start getting a bit cumbersome on the roof. I recommend you take a look at the Gerni 5000 1885PSI 1800W High Pressure Washer. It's a real winner with the patio cleaner, which is perfect for your driveway and comes with an 8-metre hose. As @Noyade mentioned, having a longer hose makes things so much easier. Purchasing a longer hose for my unit was one of the best moves I ever made.
Here's a couple of helpful guides: What you need to know about pressure washers and How to use a pressure washer.

I have been looking at a karcher k mini
Hello @ethan18
It's perfect for small jobs ranging from car washing to cleaning mini patios and walkways. I think its main advantage is its portability, it's easy to carry and does not take up a lot of space. Plus, it provides a pressure rating of 1600 pounds per square inch. A convenient mini pressure washer to have if you are after a compact set.
If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

I am after the space saver and I was also wondering about if this attachment will fit that karcher k mini
The eco!Booster 130 is incompatible with the Karcher K mini as it requires the full-sized lance for attachment. You'd need to move up to the Karcher K2.
Hope everyone is getting ready for spring! And with spring comes the cleaning and with cleaning the need for a good pressure washer! Can someone please recommend an option that will be required to clean cars, side access and patio mainly? Thanks so much for your time
Hi @mukeshkaura1 ,
For cleaning cars, side access and a patio, you shouldn't need to go for one of the larger petrol pressure washers. A good electric model with a surface-cleaning attachment would be ideal.
The https://www.bunnings.com.au/ryobi-2030-psi-high-pressure-washer_p0637296 would be a great all-round option. It has plenty of power for paths and patios while still being suitable for cleaning vehicles, and it comes with a 300mm surface cleaner for larger paved areas. It also includes a detergent bottle, which will come in handy for washing the car.
Another option worth considering is the https://www.bunnings.com.au/karcher-k3-premium-power-control-car-home-deck-high-pressure-washer-kit_p0362055 . As the name suggests, it's set up specifically for the combination of vehicle and outdoor surface cleaning you're looking to do, with accessories for both applications.
Whichever model you go with, just be cautious when using it on your car. Keep the nozzle a sensible distance from the paintwork and avoid concentrating the high-pressure jet around damaged paint, seals and other delicate areas.
