Okay, here's my shot at sharing my "water broom pressure washer" experience, blog-style:

Alright folks, gather 'round! Today, I'm diving into my experience with a water broom pressure washer attachment. I’d been seeing these things online, promising clean driveways and patios in record time, so I figured, "What the heck? Let's give it a whirl!"

First things first, I ordered one off of the internet. It arrived in a box, looking pretty much as expected: a broom-like head with multiple nozzles and a connection point for my pressure washer wand.

Getting Started: The Setup

The initial setup was super easy. I screwed the water broom attachment onto my existing pressure washer wand. It was a standard thread, so no issues there. Connected the pressure washer to the water supply, fired it up, and... spray everywhere!

First Impressions: Not as Easy as It Looks

Okay, so the promotional videos make it look like you just glide across the surface and BAM! sparkling clean. Not quite. My first pass on my driveway was… uneven. Streaks were everywhere. I quickly realized you need a steady hand and consistent speed.

I started experimenting. Different distances from the surface, different speeds, different angles. It took a bit, but I slowly started to get the hang of it.

The Technique: Slow and Steady Wins the Race

Here's what I learned:

Slow down. Seriously. The faster you go, the more likely you are to leave streaks.
Overlap your passes. Like mowing the lawn, a slight overlap ensures you don't miss any spots.
Keep the nozzles at a consistent height. Tilting the water broom can lead to uneven cleaning.
Pre-soak tough stains. For oil spots or really ground-in dirt, hit them with some detergent and let it sit for a few minutes before going over them with the water broom.
The Results: Pretty Darn Good!

After a couple of hours of practice and tweaking my technique, I gotta say, the water broom did a pretty good job. My driveway was noticeably cleaner, and it was definitely faster than using just the standard pressure washer nozzle.

Pros and Cons: My Honest Opinion
Pros:

Faster than using a single nozzle for large areas.

Relatively easy to use once you get the hang of it.

Creates a wider cleaning path.

Cons:

Can be streaky if you're not careful.

Requires a bit of a learning curve.

Might not be ideal for very heavily stained or uneven surfaces.

Final Thoughts: Worth the Investment?

So, is a water broom pressure washer attachment worth the money? For me, yeah, I think so. It’s a decent time-saver for cleaning large, relatively flat surfaces. It took some practice, but the results are pretty good, and my driveway looks much better. Just don't expect miracle-level cleaning right out of the box. Take your time, experiment, and you'll get there. Happy cleaning!
