I am a small lady but like to take care of my own home. I need to powerwash my washed rock ( aggregate) sidewalks. I want one powerful enough to do the job without taking all day but not any larger, I won't use it for any jobs larger than the driveway and sidewalks.

    Have you tried the fire hose nozzle? It sends out a really nice high powered stream of water right from your garden hose!

    if you can't pull start one (gas), buy the largest electric one you can get!

    I would recommend a Karcher Follow Me 1700 psi power washer. Its easy and safe to use even though its electric. Gas powered washer might be hard for a lady to keep up with maintenance and start ups.

    Thank you for your help, seems the stores aren't very good to assist you about things anymore. Yes, I am 75 and sure don't need maintenance issues, just something simple and electric.

    I used an electric one for years. It cleaned the cement decks and patio around our pool. Our friend used it t clean moss off his roof. Just pick the largest one you can get ( psi)

    Thanks so much, my washed rock sidewalk is almost black with mold or plain crud so I will buy me a good electric washer and get to work on it.
