When the product arrived it appeared to have been well constructed and was packaged appropriately with. no damage. With everyone coming over for Mothers Day I decided that Saturday would be my cleaning day. For the big jobs, I use an entry level pro level pressure washer. This is much larger than normal home washers.
The cleaner came with 2 wand rod extensions to make use easier (the cleaner has wheels on it and you push it around with your power washer wand). My power washer has a long heavy duty wand that attached directly to the cleaner so I did not have to use what came with it. If you have a shorter wand these would be necessary. They appear to be well made.
When I started using the cleaner I was immediately impressed with not only the ease of use and how good of job it did, but also how fast it was. Conservatively, using this cleaner MORE THAN cut my power washing time in half. My driveway was in dire need of cleaning (see video) and this worked like a champ. All you have to do is when you have cleaned an area, disconnect the cleaner (super easy and quick) and put on a regular tip as the surface cleaner does not wash away the dirt. You could also do this step with just a water hose with a regular spry nozzle on it.
After this long cleaning session, I inspected the unit. Looks good as new and everything spins freely. Time will tell if this holds up long term (years), but even if this was the only use it gets, it has paid for itself (taking in consideration cost of unit vs my time savings or what it would have cost to have a professional come out to do the job).
One side note. I would doubt you would get the same exact results if you have a small power washer (I would guess it would take multiple passes to clean but still easier than not having it). A lot of the high PSI (cheaper) power washers get the high PSI by (mostly) restricting water flow. The better power washers may have the same (or little higher PSI) but gets it while keeping up a high gallons per minute (GPM) water flow. I think having a high GPM power washer improves the cleaners ability to cleaner with fewer passes.
Bottom Line: If you have a large flat surface to clean have have a good quality power washer, this product will save you tons of time. Highly recommended.
