High Pressure Cleaners

All high pressure cleaners do not clean and unclog all surfaces. Equipment level, sophistication and price are key before choosing the right model for his needs.

High pressure cleaners can be used for routine maintenance operations (eg, cleaning a deck or yard), but also in order to clear the garden furniture, facades... However, according to their level of equipment, their sophistication and, therefore, their price, all the proposed models on the market are not able to accomplish all these tasks. It is therefore necessary to identify his needs before making his choice.

Pressure

It gives an indication that the device is capable of doing. But, contrary to what we hear too often, the pressure alone is not everything. The effectiveness of a cleaner depends primarily on the successful combination between speed, power and ancillary equipment. A challenge that all do not fall.

The length of power cable

High pressure cleaners run on water and electricity, both of which do not mix. Avoid plugging the unit into the electrical outlet using extensions. In fact, over the power supply cable is long, will be better!

Hose length

Four meters seem to be the minimum in order to maneuver the cleaner flexibly. Good news , the vast majority of devices present in rays are above this threshold.

The adjustment of jet width

This feature is not present on all cleaners. However, it is not as important as some sellers do not say. The various tests show that the models without this feature may be as or more effective than those that are equipped. In all cases, the higher the nozzle is close to the surface to be cleaned, the greater the water impact will be severe and more easily the dirt will be eliminated.

Accessories and features

Upon purchase, the models are more or less well endowed. And, obviously, this is reflected in the price of cleaner. It is always possible to complete the initial installation with accessories available in store (rotating brushes, extension pipe...). But beware, these supplements are often expensive.

The moral ? Depending on how it intends to make his cleaner, it may be better to buy a very complete from the start. Thus, the rotary brush is essential to clean effectively. 

However, the brushes "special body" do not show much interest. The tests show that they are not used much, the most efficient method for washing his remaining car, the hand washing. Conversely, the sandblasting kit can be a powerful ally for etching in depth metal grilles, gates or painted walls. As the self-feeder device, it will only be useful if you have a water supply (pond, tank) in which one can draw the water used by the cleaner.
