I just purchased the T-100 surface cleaner at Lowe's. I don't know if it was on clearance but it was very inexpensive so definitely worth trying. First, let me say that the instructions say this is not a scrubber so if you need scrubbing this won't be the product for you. It is also not a commercial product.
I first used the T-100 on my cement driveway which is painted. It did a very good job but since the cement wasn't that dirty the results were not a good test. I moved on to cleaning my pavers which were black with mildew and the T-100 got rid of that mildew in short order. My pavers are close to a fence and in the past when using a pressure washer wand the sand has been blown out of the paver crevices and stuck all over the fence which created another cleaning job. Not so with the T-100--it keeps all debris on the ground and not over your fence, your walls, and you, so for this benefit the T-100 is great.
After using the T-100 on my pavers I moved on to my patio area which has large cement stone squares with a pattern indentation and also has some popcorn stone squares. The T-100 did an excellent job on the cement squares with the pattern even cleaning out the indented pattern area. It did not do well on the popcorn-type squares but I did not expect it to do well since dirt accumulates down into the popcorn-like material and is difficult to get out even with the strong power washer wand. I hate those popcorn things--they gotta go! I also have a small smooth cement slab by the back door which had a lot of mildew and the T-100 cleaned it with no problem and kept the walls and door from flying debris and water. I rinsed all the cement off with my garden hose or the vario attachment to my Karcher pressure washer after I was done with the T-100. I still have stains on some of the cement and I think those stains are due to fertilizer dropping on it and probably requires a chemical to clean up. One thing I would do differently next time is to be sure to blow all the debris off the patio first and make sure there are no small pebbles or rocks since they could damage the turning spray arms in the T-100 which are plastic.
My next chore was cleaning a painted wood deck. I was hoping the T-100 would not remove the paint--it didn't and it left everything nice and clean. In the past I have cleaned the deck by scrubbing it on my hands and knees so the T-100 made that chore a breeze and was done in a fraction of the time.
I live in Florida and after a daily rain for a week or so we get a lot of black mildew on driveways, walkways, and patios. The mildew can be removed with the power washer using the high pressure wand but it is slow going since the wand's spray does not cover as much surface area at a time as the T-100 does and using the wand results in dirty water on nearby walls, windows, plants and on you.
Bottom line: Benefits of the T-100 are 1) covering a larger surface at a time and 2) not spraying debris all over fences and walls and 3) time saver. These benefits are well worth the small price I paid and makes it a great value to me and a terrific accessory to my home use pressure washer.
I am a 72-year old grandmother and using this T-100 is a no brainer. The extension pieces snap together easily and if you have the storage space you don't have to take it apart--just put it away and it will be ready for your next use. I bought a second T-100 for my daughter and can't wait to hear how she likes it.
