Not because it is bad. Because I spent two summers dragging a hose across the garden for a job that takes ten minutes without one.
The wheels on my car had that grey film brake dust leaves. Every time I thought about it, the same sequence stopped me: find the hose, unroll it, drag it round, connect it, discover the tap is at the other end of the house.
So it did not get done. For two summers.
The whole setup is a bucket
You drop the intake hose into a bucket of water and pull the trigger. That is the entire preparation. No tap, no hose reel, no extension lead — the pump is in the tool and it runs on a rechargeable battery.
Ten minutes on the decking and the difference was visible before I reached the far rail. The wheels came the same afternoon. Not because it is magic — because the job finally started.
I did not expect this much pressure
Up to 1000 PSI, which is what actually lifts dried mud and brake dust instead of pushing it around. A garden hose soaks dirt. This strips it.
The head twists between six settings: a wide fan for bodywork, a focused jet for wheel arches and grouting, a soap setting for pre-wash. One head, no tips to swap mid-job.
What it is not
It is not a petrol washer for a warehouse forecourt. It runs 20 to 30 minutes on a charge and recharges in 3 to 4 hours on its base. If you are stripping paint off a barn, buy something else.
For a car, a patio, bins, garden furniture and a muddy bike, it does the job and lives in a cupboard instead of on a hose reel.
