Anyone got one of these? Are they any good for cleaning monobloc, especially where I wash the car and the blocks have became discoloured with brake dust etc .

I don't know what "monobloc" is but I personally wouldn't clean blocks or slabs with a pressure washer if the water could get between and underneath. I've seen it done on a slabbed drive and the foundations of the drive were so disturbed that the slabs had to be re-laid.

I bought one of these last summer when ALDI last had them. I found it very effective on monoblock, slabs and decking. Move it very slowly over the surface being cleaned or it will leave spiral clean marks where the nozzles rotate.

I have the Karscher version, and it's very good. Quicker and a LOT cleaner than doing it with the normal spray lance.
I used it on paving slabs.

Thanks for the input guys - did it blast all the sand up from between the bricks / slabs?

Not for me - but that's because there's none there anyway, I must get around to fixing that.
If it's loose sand you've got between blocks, then I'd be very surprised if it's all still there when you've finished.
