Pressure washers are brilliant for blasting away dirt, moss and grime from patios, garden furniture, decking and driveways in seconds – and this bargain bit of kit really delivers.
It comes with a 1400W motor and pumps out up to 110 bar of pressure – more than enough to tackle stubborn stains outdoors.
It comes with a three meter high-pressure hose, spray gun, cleaning lance with extension and a quick-connect system for easily switching attachments.
Weighing in at just 5kg, it's light enough for moving around the garden and easy to stash away thanks to its integrated cable and hose holder.

The gadget goes on sale from Thursday, June 5 – online and in stores – but like all Aldi Specialbuys, once they're gone, they're gone.
And it's a proper steal compared to pricier rivals.
For example, the Kärcher K2
Power
Control Home Pressure Washer – with similar specs – will set you back £119 at B&Q, saving you just under £70 if you opt for the Aldi version.
The Karcher washer has similar specs, including a 110 bar pressure and patio cleaning capability, but comes with a much heftier price tag.

The e-commerce site's What are your rights over a fence row? IT'S very important to know your rights if you are embroiled in a fence row with a neighbour. How do I know which side I own? A The only way to know for certain who owns what side and to avoid any neighbour disputes, is to refer to the title plan or Land Registry. In this, the T mark is used to indicate who the boundary belongs to and therefore who is responsible for its upkeep, say pros at Larger developments tend to have some indication provided by the builder, but there are no hard and fast rules People often think they are responsible for the left (or right) hand boundary wherever they live, but there isn't any legal basis for this. You can check with HM Land Registry to see which boundary feature you are responsible for. Often households can't get hold of the paperwork but experts say they shouldn't panic. Homeowners can guess who owns the fence by checking where the Pros say: "The fence is typically facing away from their property so that their neighbour gets the 'good' side. 'This is the most secure way of facing fencing so there are no rails for anyone to use to climb into your garden. 'This is then repeated with the neighbour on the other side to ensure that each home has both a 'good' and 'bad' fence side.' Walls and fences are often built on the land of the boundary's owner with the edge of the wall marking the limit. While professionals agree a glimpse at the fence can give you a hint, it's not foolproof - so you can't be certain. Fines and punishment It is recommended to always check legal documents before making changes to avoid There is no law that the neighbour has to get the good side of the fence, so it's completely up to whoever owns the fence. Fencing pros have suggested: 'It may be worth selecting a double-sided panel with no 'bad' side as both sides look the same and rails are concealed within the fence panel.' If one boundary backs onto a road or footpath you can install the panels with the rails on the inside But if it's installed on the outside, it can provide an 'easy ladder for burglars to enter your garden'. The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and the Property Litigation Association have created a mediation service to help neighbours resolve disputes over their property boundaries without resorting to court action. RICS also provides a list of surveyors who could assist in boundary disputes. If a dispute continues, it is ultimately a court that makes decisions, but they do not like such disputes being put before them. Changing a boundary If you want to change an existing boundary, such as replacing an old fence with a new one, we always recommend discussing with your neighbour first and making sure it is all agreed. The registered titles can help you to reach an agreement, but only if this information has been added. In terms of decorations on a fence legal advisers recommended asking around over who actually first installed it. But they also urged caution before getting to work on amending the fence without getting more certainty yourself - since there is a danger of actually being prosecuted for criminal damage. How high can a garden fence be? The height of the fence is measured from your ground level, this can have an impact when, due to slopes in the ground, your garden may be at a higher level than your neighbours'. A garden fence can be as high as 100m but you need to get planning permission if it's over than 2m. However, there are some complications to this. If you are thinking about front You would need to get planning permission for putting a trellis on a fence of 2m.

Secret wine loves: the bottles Irish consumers like to regularly buy
Most wine lovers tend to prefer the esoteric, lesser-known (and usually more expensive) wines. But these are not always affordable or accessible to the average wine drinker. So what are the most popular wines with you the consumer? I asked three of the multiples and one independent wine shop to put forward their bestselling wines. Aldi wine ambassador Tom Doorley says: 'Looking at the most popular wines in the spring/summer selection, I'm reminded that our customers are always willing to try something new. I think Irish consumers are keen to try offbeat wines and the initial feedback is positive. Current top sellers include a Lebanese red and a white Costières de Nîmes, so not exactly the usual suspects. Add to that an Argentinian Viognier and a Caladoc Rouge from Languedoc and you can see how Aldi are trying to offer wines from new regions as well as the well-established favourites.' Below I include a malbec that is part of the Aldi core range, available throughout the year. In contrast, a Lidl spokesperson says: 'Irish drinkers tend to be conservative in their wine choices, often opting for well-known traditional varieties. However, we've observed an increase in sales of New World wines particularly Chilean and Argentinian wines. Price is a key factor for our customers, with our most popular wine prices ranging from €7.00 to €11.99. Rosé is experiencing a rise in popularity throughout the year. Our most popular wines currently include Prosecco Frizzante (€7.99), Cimarosa Chenin Blanc (€7.70), Pinot Grigio IGT Delle Venezie (€7.29), Chardonnay Pays d'OC (€7.99), and Hachón Ribera del Duero Reserva (€10.99)." Lynne Coyle, wine director at O'Briens Wine says they sell Albariño and Primitivo in good quantities, but the Mâcon-Lugny Grande Réserve below and the Gran Reserva Monte Real Rioja are among their top-selling wines. 'Our Mâcon-Lugny Grande Réserve continues to grow, even though there can sometimes be a reluctance to buy chardonnay. Sustainably grown and from one of the top co-operatives in France, this fresh, fruity unoaked wine offers an affordable way to discover Burgundy. Both Reserva and Gran Reserva Rioja are popular; the wines are released after ageing at the winery with good fruit but also an evolved complexity, integrated oak and resolved tannins, so an interesting wine style, but approachable.' READ MORE [ John Wilson: Loire white wines made for warm-weather drinking Opens in new window ] Séan Gargano opened the independent wine shop MacCurtain Wine Cellar in Cork three years ago. 'We still have the grapes that have become brands like sauvignon, malbec and Pinot Grigio, but we are a niche shop, and most of our clients come here because they don't want to buy what's in the multiples. We are family-owned and run, and stock a lot of small family-owned wineries, but I never want to be a snob to customers. We only do European wines for environmental reasons, so my job is to hit all those buttons, but closer to home and probably cheaper too. I just listen and offer something different. I never want to talk down to people. Instead of Marlborough sauvignon, we sell lots of Le Paysan Blanc (see below).' Pinot Grigio 2023, Giulio Pasotti, IGT delle Venezie 12%, €7.28 Light refreshing easy pear and apple fruits with a rounded finish. A perfect summer sipper by itself or with light snacks and salads. From Lidl Specially Selected Buenas Vidas Malbec 2023, Argentina 13%, €7.99 Another Aldi favourite, this is a medium-bodied elegant style of malbec with fresh dark cherry, plum and blueberry fruits. Enjoy it with firm cheeses, red meats, pizza or pasta with tomato sauces. From Aldi [ Riesling, muscadet, sherry: Time to give these unloved wines a second chance Opens in new window ] Mâcon-Lugny Grande Réserve 2023 13%, €20.96 / €16.95 Fresh lightly textured pear and apple fruits with a vibrant acidity and dry finish. Great value at €16.95. Drink alongside most fish or white meats. From O'Briens Le Bordeaux du Paysan Blanc 2023, Satellite Wines, Organic 12.5%, €21.50-23.50 Light, fresh and aromatic with very attractive lemon and apricot fruits, finishing dry.
