Sure, if you want to power wash your sidewalks or your decking. The PSI is a bit much to believe and the gpm (which is what you want moreso than PSI) is not exactly stellar.

It might last 100 years, however I would bet it doesn't last very long, if you use it weekly.

Meh, for $60ish, if you feel comfy, give it a whirl and maybe it will work for you, maybe it won't. If you're looking for a cheaply made pressure washer and a cheaply made foam cannon, then this is for you. If you're looking for something that will benefit car washing somewhat better than this, I would hard pass on it and find something else. If it's your budgetary top, then spring for it and have some fun.

Thank you for your heartfelt elitist advice. I see, so the same model number costing $120 at Sam's Club and $139 at Home Depot would be more durable and better quality?

The pressure is "up to" 2050 psi max (adjustale). Sun Joe is the #1 selling brand on Amazon for pressure washers...for what it's worth. https://www.amazon.com/gp/bestseller..._t2_B09FYKPMT5

I have a similar Sun Joe, and it's a nice unit, but I never use it to wash my car. I also got a foam cannon, not a Sun Joe, out of curiosity. I used it once on my car. I didn't find it any more effective or easier than using a sponge and bucket of soapy water, which I normally don't do anyway, I use this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...e?ie=UTF8&th=1

I now use the foam cannon and pressure washer to wash the siding on my house.

Thank you. I just checked out your link for the car wash/rinse product and has an impressively stellar feedback rating that also checked out positively with Fakespot.

No matter what you use you've got to dry the car with microfiber towels to get rid of water spots. You do that with No Rinse anyway. Other advantages are you don't need a hose, don't need a place to rinse it, and as long as the temperature is above freezing you can use it, just fill your bucket with warm water from your kitchen faucet. I can do my car with four towels. I start with one for washing, one for drying. When the first washing towel is dirty I use the first drying towel to wash, with a fresh towel for drying. Three washing towels is all I ever need.

So much to unpack, however, if you buy it, be sure to post up some YouTube videos so we can all see how she works. Seriously, go buy it and report back how it works!!

And you're welcome.

Good tips. Soon the outside water spigot will be drained until next April and then I am forced to use a car wash. What you described is much safer and easier...and I can make the wife do it
However, I was reading if you have ceramic coating (like I do) it may leave some lines/residue behind...?

Get a box of nitrile gloves too. Even if you fill the bucket with warm water a cold wind on bare hands is no fun, and neither are gloves that get wet.
