[Closed] Pressure Washer - useful or likely to just sit in the garage?

I've been pondering getting a pressure washer for ages, but have never got round to actually buying one because I think it'll end up being one of those things that ends up in the garage never getting used. I envisage using it for cleaning the cars - mainly getting a snow foam lance thing & giving the cars a quick once over every couple of weeks to keep them clean-ish. From what I have seen on the interweb, with a decent foam & pressure washer you can probably get away with not actually washing it as often - just soak in foam (cup of tea while letting it do it's thing) & rinse most of the muck off....that's what I'm hoping anyway. Then there's the patio as well, which could do with a clean. I guess and annual clean in the spring would be a good idea, as well as a small bit of decking. Our fence (and shed) is covered in green powdery stuff - before re-treating it this year I am going to need to scrub that off - presumably a jet washer would blitz that off, although I do wonder about the sensibility of using it on old-ish timber panels....and then how long I'd have to leave it to dry out before treating... Basically - owners of jet washers......do you think they are worth having or is it just something that sits unused in the garage? What do you primarily use yours for? Ta...
