OK guys the competition is hotting up, there's another FAQ to get your
teeth into.

http://www.diyfaq.org.uk/electrical/...washer_faq.htm

This FAQ is from Dave Lang and has lots of stuff on Pressure Washers I
wish I knew before I bought my el cheapo one from a shed one. Mind you,
even that little pile of ****e left me wondering why I didn't get one
years ago. All the times I have scrapped and scrubbed the slippery moss
off my yard pavers when I could have had them stripped and gleaming in
no time!

Amongst the little gems in this FAQ is the little known fact that they
are not even called Pressure Washers by the trade. HPC's is what they
are - High Pressure Cleaners, that is. And there is a cunning formula
that lets you work out if the one you have an eye on has enough ooomph -
it's the 'Cleaning Effect' magic number, no less.

Well, that's 3 brand new FAQs this months - Any more for any more???
I'll help you knock a draft into presentable prose :-)

For inspiration have a look at a the outline of "interesting" topics I
knocked up
http://www.diyfaq.org.uk/FAQ_Prospec...tents_List.doc
- its Word format.

Comments on the list itself are also welcome, if you don't actually feel
a FAQ coming on ;-)

The phrase here doesn't make electrical sense. "With electricity we
recognise that amps (flow) are often more important than volts (pressure)."
Power is the ability to do work which is the product of current and voltage.
Therefore they are as important as each other.

I have always been frustrated at determining the quality of machines. I
feel price alone is not always a good indicator to determine if its a
cheapie or midrange. I doubt many shops would allow you to take the cover
off to have a look!
