Pressure Washer Shield

Firstly, the photos don't do the product justice - the product works better if you fit the shield half way up the lance of pressure washers. If this cant be done, then you simply screw it in at the base - thanks to the plastic shroud and 2 screw bits you get. The shield isn't intended to be used as a scraper though and it does shield against flying dirt and mud - particularly when it comes to doing cracks and weed removal between walls and doors. The lightweightness counts against the design.

Despite the poor review this item had been given by other Lakeland customers we decided to try the pressure washer shield ourselves. Although the photos illustrating the item are a fair representation in my view it still gives a very disappointing performance. It did stop dirty water splashing up onto my patio windows, but the shield is so inflexible, however hard you press down on it, that it was not possible to clean the patio right up to the window. So we had to remove it in order to clean the area properly and then still had to wash the windows!

It will not fit our make of pressure washer; therefore it should not be stated that it fits all washers. I was very disappointed as I thought the idea was an excellent one. I would give the rating as less than 1 Star if I could.

Great idea but not good in practice. You can't see where you are cleaning as the plastic isn't see through.

Could be that we just aren't strong enough, but we just could not bend it enough on the ground to enable the pressure washer jet to get to the grime! I also have to agree with the other reviewer - you just cannot see where you have and haven't cleaned as you go. The only choice we had was to remove the shield and go back to the old fashioned, messy but productive way. Such a shame as we had high hopes for it!
