vthokyWorx HydroShot pressure washer -- anybody use one?
Good afternoon.
Has anyone here got experience with this tool?
(
Link)
My local CBS affiliate is running an infomercial about it, and it does look pretty nice. Sure beats dragging around a gas engine-powered pressure washer, I would think.
I've heard good things about other Worx tools. Who's got the knowledge about this one?

apprenticeI try not to be the guy that recommends something else, but might want to give the following a look if you already have some Ryobi 18v stuff like I do:
https://www.homedepot.com/coll...9054?omsid=300405751Should be something in the same or close to it price range and I think it will be more psi for the buck.

vthokyThank you for that. I do have some Ryobi One system goods; I'll take a closer look.
A quick surf of Ryobi's web site leads me to think they offer electric washers, but no battery-powered ones.

Gene HillmanDepends on what you are going to use it for.This looks like it is very low power. For light dirt and small areas it might be enough. It certainly wouldn't work for me. The two numbers you want to look at are gallons of water per minute and pressure. The gallon rating of this one is very low and I can't find a pressure spec in the link which is curious. The numbers on any gas unit are a lot higher than this.

Black92LX320 psi is not going to do much.
I bet there are standard hose attachments that get close to that.

JellyI tend to look at ratings when buying something or doing business with these days. A 3.3 out of 407 would have me running away.

.38supersigIf you are out in the woods camping and need to wash off something or take a shower, fill a 2 Liter bottle with water and this is for you.
Think about where you are when you may need such a thing and how easy or difficult it would be to obtain a source of power and/or a pump.
I wouldn't think it would be what you need to pressure wash a motorhome.

Yes, I see that now too. Sorry, thought they were powered by the 18v batteries when I glanced at them.

vthokyI talked with a friend earlier today -- she's got a contact who used to work for Worx. This thing is, in fact, not really highly recommended.
Thanks, all, for your opinions!
