Pressure Washer Advice Needed

I am looking for a pressure washer to do my drive & patio, would this one be good enough?

This one for £200 isn't much more powerful

I've noticed that on the Argos website there is a guide saying that you have to have a pressure washer that has between a 110-130 bar to do patio's & drive's.

The £40 one has a maximum bar of 140 but that is only when you turn it on, the working bar is 90.

Thing is i don't want to be paying loads out, but would that Challenge £40 one do the job for me? thanks.

    Take note of the water flow rate as well as the pressure. It is the combination of the two which makes for an effective machine.

    Thanks, the water flow rate on the £40 one is 360 litres per hour, which is obviously 6 litres per minute.
