If you had one you'd find all sort of uses for it. It's a very useful
addition to the home maintenance arsenal. It's tough to beat for most
outdoor cleaning projects and for prepping a house for painting.

If you don't use a pressure washer you end up using a lot more effort
and/or a lot more chemicals. I also think it's a regional thing. In
wetter parts of the country, where stuff grows on everything, they're
almost indispensable.
