Default Pressure washers - useless, or less than useless?

There's certainly no need for them to shift vast volumes of water to be
effective. I think the point is that they generate (or should do) a very
high pressure by pumping water through a very small orifice. Certainly
my Karcher blasts out a very effective jet, but the actual flow rate is
way less than provided by a mains-fed tap.


So would a hose with a small nozzle not achieve the same effect?
