Looking for some advice. Our driveway is in a bad state and need to jet wash the bricks and moss. I have read some reviews on Pressure Washers and for driveways it recommends a high pressure one but they are so expensive. Does anyone own one who can recommend if this would do the job or if it's too basic?

Just a bit expensive!
You can hire a powerful one from smiths equipment hire.
Katcher are expensive, you can buy a pretty good one from screwfix for a lot less money with twice the flow .
This one is pretty good. We use it at work.

This seems like a decent one on Screwfix. 130 bar which is same as K4 but cheaper.

It's whether 130 is enough or need to be looking at the 160 bar pressure. They get too expensive though and might be overkill. Both looked at the same one :)

Would that one clean dirty red brick paving and get rid of all the moss growing between the gaps?

There is this one which has 120 pressure compared to the 110 in that basic one but still not sure if 120 will be enough. The K4 one has 130.
No, not that one, but I don't think they make it anymore looking at the models on display on B&Q. Not sure how old it is.
Looks more like this but more powerful:

I am sure people find this riveting but this is what I've got to tackle. Long drive away as well as goes all the way down to back garden...
You could try this https://bit.ly/31HcaD9
I got an industrial one from a family friend which they use on the farm. End result was fantastic but after this heavy downpour the kiln sand has gone everyone and doesn't look half as good now plus traipsing loose sand in the house all the time!
It was rewarding though but depressing knowing I will have to do it all again in two years.
