Seems these can be had for anything from £30 upwards these days.

Are the cheaper ones worth having?

Main uses would be the "usual suspects" like the car, shed,
patio/paving, brickwork, UPVC windows etc..

Usually I think Pressure Washers I think Karcher? Also are there any
special requirements other than a mains socket and a hose from the
outside tap?

Any tips on any good deals would be appreciated.

cheers,

aldi have a special coming up:

31st March, 2005
Pressure Washer 2100W

b.. 2.1kW long-life induction motor
c.. 450 litre/hour water flow
d.. 130 bar pressure
e.. Spray gun with 6m high hose
f.. Spray lance with variable high/low pressure regulator and dirt-blaster for 30% more cleaning

of course, because it hasn't got the Kärcher badge and costs less than a Kärcher
it's going to be complete rubbish which will, within days, have someones eye out
