The 7 Best Pressure Washers for Cleaning Driveways and Patios (Review) in 2022

Are you tired of it taking all day to clean your driveway or patio and ending up aching all over once you are done?

Yeah, I was too. So I put together a list of the best pressure washers for cleaning driveways and patios to save you time, money and physical pain.

Here’s some advice: When you are cleaning concrete on the floor such as a driveway or patio, you want a pressure washer with as high PSI or BAR as possible, as this will give you a better and deeper clean.

The best pressure washers for cleaning your driveways and patios will have a high BAR pressure, high water flow rate for getting the job done quicker, a long hose so you don’t have to move around as much and, ideally, but not essential, a patio cleaner attachment or detergent tank that can be filled with stonewash cleaner.

and the good news?…

One pressure washer that has all of these things is the Karcher K7 Premium Full Control Plus Home. You wouldn’t believe how many driveways we cleaned (for free!) to be able to tell you that this is the best pressure washer for cleaning your driveway and patio.

The best thing you want for cleaning concrete is a surface cleaner. We have tried to choose deals that include a patio cleaner but if you already have a pressure washer, a lot of brands offer a patio cleaner that you can buy separately so have a look before buying a brand new unit!

If you didn’t know before, now you’ll know that the Karcher K7 premium full control is the raining heavyweight of the electric pressure washer market right now. This Karcher Pressure Washer offers the very best in cleaning technology and can even be controlled via Bluetooth with Karcher’s very own app.

This unit includes a surface cleaner, Karcher’s top of the range one in fact, as well as your first bottle of stone cleaner.

If you aren’t up to using your phone to control the settings then they are also easily controllable via the trigger gun and a handy LCD display lets you see exactly what your current setting are also.

Everything is storable on-board and Karcher offer a huge 3-year warranty for your peace of mind that you are buying a quality product.

Wilks-USA is a very popular brand pressure washer manufacturer and deliver nothing by quality products and even include a 24-month warranty with it too.

Offering one of the highest pressure, electric pressure washers available on the market, Wilk-USA absolutely smashes it with the RX550i.

It includes a huge range of accessories including a surface cleaner, extendable hose soft and rotary brushes and lance. There are also 5 varying nozzles that are very easy to put on and remove to hit those harder to clean black spots.

The heavy-duty wheels make it easy to wheel across the grass if you’re cleaning a patio and don’t want the machine where you are trying to clean and the onboard storage makes it easy to access anything you might need.

Next up we have a petrol pressure washer and one of my personal favourite, the Kiam Driveway Cleaning Pack. This is more of a commercial set up but if you have the budget you’ll get a better result, no doubt.

It includes a heavy-duty surface cleaner AND a turbo nozzle which are two of the most essential items for deep cleaning a patio or driveway.

With it being a petrol pressure washer it doesn’t require any power so it’s perfect for areas of patio that might be at the end of a garden or during a power cut if that’s your thing.

Black and Decker are a well-known power tool brand so It makes sense that they would also offer a pressure washer.

The built-in hose reel makes it easy to manoeuvre and even has an Eco, soft wash mode which is great for cleaning your engine bay.

It offers a max pressure of 150 BAR and a huge water flow per hour maximum of 810 litres.

The black and decker also offer a unique feature in its twin nozzle attachment offering a double power stream giving the pressure washer extra cleaning power.

We love the Karcher K4 and we even managed to give it its own in-depth review of the Karcher K4 a little while back.

The K4 is perfect for cleaning patios and driveways because it comes with a surface cleaner, stone detergent and a range of lances and brushes.

The premium full control plus home & car comes with a built-on hose reel and has the upgraded trigger gun with an LED display that can be controlled via the Karcher App.

Karcher also offers a 2-year guarantee with this machine.

The K4 is also a great option to clean cars, bikes and motor homes.

A slightly lesser-known brand, AVA of Norway, but what the lack in rep they more than make up for in style and accessories.

The elegant looking unit comes fully equipped with a Patio Cleaner, Snow Foam, three nozzles and a built-in hose reel. You can also purchase a telescopic lance and 12m extension hose if needed making it a great option for driveways and patios.

You can expect up to 145 BAR from the 8m hose and a HUGE 20 YEAR WARRANTY!

Stream have featured on our site in the past and it’s no wonder with how great this unit is.

It includes everything you need to get your driveway or patio clean as a whistle including 150 BAR of water pressure, up to 450 Litres per hour of water flow and with a surface cleaner, soft brush, rotary brush and turbo nozzle these make for everything you need to get your concrete clean.

You can use this pressure washer directly from a tap or a standing bucket of water and it also offers a built-in detergent tank so you can easily apply a cleaning solution.

The body of the pressure washer has a hose reel built in which makes it very quick and easy to move around and put away after you are finished.
