    I’m thinking about getting a Jetterix mainly for cleaning patio slabs. My regular hose nozzle doesn’t really shift the grime. Is the pressure actually strong enough for that kind of thing, or would I still need a pressure washer?

    Honestly, I wasn’t that impressed with mine on patio slabs. It’s fine for a quick rinse but it didn’t really touch the green stuff. I ended up borrowing a friend’s pressure washer anyway.

    Honestly, people expect too much from these things. It’s just a fancier nozzle for your hose, not a magic wand. If your patio is really bad, you’re going to be standing there forever.

    I’ve been wondering the same thing honestly. It feels like it could go either way depending on your water pressure at home.

    I think it really depends how grimy your patio is. I’ve seen people use these on light moss and it did okay, but if you’ve got thick buildup you’ll probably still want a pressure washer. The water pressure at your house matters a lot too.

    I’ve got one and it works fine for my patio. My water pressure is decent and it takes off the usual dirt and dust without any trouble.

    I think it depends on your water pressure more than the nozzle itself. Mine did okay on light dirt but didn’t touch the stubborn stains. Probably still need a pressure washer if yours is really bad.

    I think people overthink it a bit. If your hose pressure is decent it’ll handle most regular patio grime just fine. It’s not a pressure washer but it’s a lot better than a standard nozzle. I’d say just try it and see.

    I think it’ll probably be fine for normal patio cleaning. People make a bigger deal out of it than it is.

    I’m not totally sure it’s enough on its own. I think it depends how bad the grime is and your water pressure, but I’d probably still want a pressure washer for a proper deep clean.

    I think it’s probably fine for a patio, honestly. As long as your water pressure isn’t terrible, it should handle most of the usual grime without much hassle.

    Honestly, it’s probably fine for a patio. I’ve got one and it’s good enough for the usual dirt and dust. Not sure about super caked-on stains, but for regular cleaning it works well.

    If your water pressure is decent it’ll shift normal dirt well enough. If you’ve got proper caked-on algae or years of grime though, you’ll still be out there scrubbing. It’s not a pressure washer, it’s just a better nozzle. Manage your expectations and you’ll be fine.

    Honestly I’d just get it and see how it feels. If your water pressure is decent it’ll probably do the job for regular dirt. I use mine for the driveway and it’s fine as long as I’m not trying to remove years of buildup.

    I’ve got one and it’s been fine for my patio. Not as strong as a pressure washer but way easier to drag out.

    I keep going back and forth on this too. The convenience of just hooking it up to the hose is tempting, but I wonder if it’s just going to be another thing I have to scrub along with.

    I’ve used mine on a patio and honestly it felt like it was doing a decent job, but I wasn’t convinced it was fully getting into the deeper bits. I think it depends on how much elbow grease you’re okay with.

    Thanks for all the replies, that gives me a better idea. Think I’ll just try it and see how it goes with my water pressure.
