What minimum wattage would be best?
I know the higher the better but what is the minimum I should use?

I cant recall the details but wear a mask when using the pressure washer to clean the patio. I seem to recall to inhale the "spray" once it comes off the patio is very hazardous.

I've had a couple. First was an expensive Karcher which didn't survive long. Second was the one I have had for around 10 years, one on wheels from Lidl and cost around £70. Within weeks of buying the plastic wand snapped, but Lidl would not replace it they claimed abused. So botched it and kept on using it. The rotating jet seized up, soon after purchase too.

Around three years ago, I found I could buy a much better variable lance on ebay, which would fit. It now works better than the original when new, with a variable pattern and no moving parts to seize up..
