Bought this after my old Bosch packed. Lasted me a year so far no problems, and in that time it has frozen up, yet somehow nothing has broken. Cleaned my patios in a breeze and always handy for cleaning the cars.

My first Bosch Aquatak 1250 failed two years ago. Pressure hose burst.To purchase a new hose would cost nearly as much as a new washer.I bought a new Aquatak 1250.Last week the hose burst.My other Bosch products ie lawnmower and garden shredder have never given any trouble.The Aquatak with attachments was very effective arround the house exterior including washing the car.I propose to buy another pressure washer but I am reluctant to buy Bosch

The first job I undertook was to clean the rear small brick patio, which gets very little sun. The lance I chose to use was the one with the small red section at the end. It had a mind of its own but I managed to control it and finished the job to my satisfaction.
Now what about the car. I read the instructions and found the correct lance to use, (the Vario-jet-fan power lance.) A little too much detergent and a few adjustments and I think the car was as pleased as I was when it stood shinning in the sun.
Now to some more bricks at the front pathway which were not so dirty but with lots of small weeds. These were easy to remove along with some sand that will have to be replaced. This time I chose the Roto power lance for patios, which is so much easier to use and does a good job.
My question is, what is the first lance I used meant to be used for?
The one with the small red section on the end. The hand book does not mention it.
