Just ordered this pressure washer, and some watermelons.

I'll have to search. Just remembered seeing one, but again possibly a made up idea... 😜

A standard garden hose delivers water at 40 to 60 PSI
Got news for you bud. 14 to 30 PSI, and if you are really lucky, you might get 45 PSI. But that is water pressure at the meter.
Anyways, a couple of (almost) identical devices for a tenth of the price and without the BS script

This type of thing: https://www.diy.com/departments/drew-cole-jet-hawk-cordless-handheld-21v-pressure-washer-with-5m-hose/5060784677206_BQ.prd
I know they are pitiful compared to proper PWs, but it's just to shift poo. Do the jobbie?

There's a similar one sold by Argos, rated (apparently) at 75 watts. Economy pressure washers start around 1400W. No amount of reverse polarity pressure multiplier technology will make a 75W machine perform as well as a 1400W machine. Unlike vacuum cleaners (where motor power rating doesn't necessarily equate to cleaning ability), pressure cleaning efficiency is correlated to the energy imparted to the water by the pump… if the water isn't energised enough then it doesn't clean so well.
One of these (depending on where the poo is) will probably do just as good a job at cleaning than something that costs £50 -

I bought a worx hydroshot from argos. mainly for washing my car because my driveway is away from power and water and it can syphone from a container.
If you plug it directly into hose it isnt bad but still not as good as a regular jetwash

My parents have 8 bar (120 psi) at their meter. They've had to fit a pressure reducer to get it below 6 bar so their appliances can cope.

I've recommended the Karcher K Mini or the Bosch EasyAquatak 100 Long Lance, both at around £70. Cannae squirt betwixt them.

Th reviews are not very good. Seems pretty poorly made.

Having recommended these two, I've now been asked the inevitable next Q - 'which one is best?'
Which one would folks choose? Anyone used either of them? Ta.
