Occasional Digest - a story for you

THIS week, Amazon has cut prices on a range of Kärcher pressure washers, among them the K 2 Home Kit, a model I’ve relied on for years.

I forked out £149.99 for this powerful bit of kit, but currently, it’s a fantastic bargain at just £115.

I’ve had mine for a good six years now, and though I initially shelled out a bit more for this garden tool, it’s definitely proven its worth.

It’s completely changed the game for me and has been a godsend each year for getting the garden ready for the warmer weather.

And let’s be honest, nobody wants a grubby patio. I’ve already rolled up my sleeves and tackled mine to banish the winter grime.

This is Kärcher’s K 2 model, a top seller on Amazon among outdoor power tools, packing a punch with a maximum 110 bar pressure, which let me tell you, you’ll feel working.

As you can see above, after a couple of years of heavy use, mine’s showing some signs of wear and tear, but it’s still just as powerful as ever.

I use it for everything, from sprucing up the garden furniture, giving the car a good wash, and, of course, tackling the patio.

Once you get going, it’s actually a lot of fun. Trust me, those of you who doubt it will end up having a blast too (pun intended).

Here’s some advice from a seasoned pro though: invest in some good wellies, because cleaning a patio can be a messy job.

The pressure washer comes with two spray lances: a Vario Power spray lance, and a dirt blaster, and thanks to the Quick Connect system, swapping between the accessories takes no time.

Getting the machine up and running is a breeze too. Just hook up your hose, turn on the water, turn the dial to ‘on’, and you’re all set to start cleaning.

The Vario lance comes in particularly handy, allowing you to adjust water pressure with a simple twist on the nozzle, perfect for delicate surfaces like cars and fences, ensuring no risk of paint chipping.

In the Home Kit, you’ll find the Patio & Deck detergent, which is decent, but you’ll manage fine without it once it’s used up.

On the other hand, the T 1 surface cleaner is perfect for tackling stubborn grime on larger areas.

Another pressure washer worth considering is the Kärcher K 4, currently available at a decent discount.

Sitting a few notches higher than my model, it offers a maximum pressure of 130 bar.

However, for the average user like myself, the K 2 delivers comparable results and will suit just fine.

Another recent Amazon purchase of mine is my Fire TV, and as luck would have it, it’s currently on offer. So, if you’re in the market for a new smart TV, it’s definitely worth a gander.
