The genius of the T200 accessory


Praise the Lord! I am a believer! I have seen the future and its name is K4.600 with the T-Racer T200 attachment. It’s about this time of year that the pressure washer emerges from garage hibernation, firstly to get the bugs of the front of the car and secondly to give the patio a clean-up. But over the weekend these jobs were made so much easier by an invention that will be hailed by men everywhere who clean patios as ‘genius’. The actual pressure washer, supplied by well-known and respected brand Karcher, is nice enough and claims to use less water and electricity than previous models. Lovely, and ideal for bug-busting on the Ford Focus. But it’s the attachment that was news to me. Rather than just having a lance that does the patio in a two-inch strip and sprays crud everywhere – which has traditionally been my technique – this little baby is about the size of a dinner plate (pictured above). Attach it to the end of the lance, then cleaning the flagstones is like running a hoover over them. There’s no fuss and no mess because all the water and crud stays underneath the T200. What used to be the work of two hours was all over in 20 minutes. It was a revelation. Why anyone would do it the old fashioned way having tried this is beyond me. I’m sold.
