Re: [MBZ] OT - Pressure Washer Surface Cleaners

Yep. I got one of those round scrubbers a few years ago. Love the 
way it works. Much quicker on large flat surfaces then either the 
regular nozzles or those turbo things that pulse in a small 
circle. That does work better though on engines as it seems to 
hit at a few different angles as you go.

I borrowed one from a buddy to clean my driveway and sidewalks, a semi-annual 
exercise in Florida, and was amazed at how quick and easy it made the job 
compared to just using a fan nozzle.

Looks like most of the consumer grade models are clustered around the $50-$75 
range.  Just wondered if anyone owned one of these and what their opinion was 
of it.

Thanks!

Ahhh... I'll address your question more specifically now.

For best effect, using only cold water, [Or hot water, for that matter]
I've found the nozzle that has an oscillation spray pattern to have the
greatest effect.

The pulsation of that nozzle arrangement seems to have more "get it done"
than straight spray versions and each of mine have a selection of 5
nozzles with various spray pattern and fan width. You can find replacement
nozzles on line, BTW... surprising how cheap.

I may not have been clear enough in my request, but thanks for your 
observations….

I have 7.5 HP/4500 psi Sears pressure washer that does pretty much everything I 
ask of it.  I was just asking about the surface cleaner attachments, as I don’t 
have one myself but have borrowed one and was very impressed with the 
efficiency and time savings it provided for large areas (driveway, sidewalks, 
etc.)

Your comments bring back a lot of memories of starting out in the “business” 
and being charged with having to clean the incoming equipment before it was 
worked on by using a Steam Jenny.  Amazingly effective at removing just about 
anything, including paint, but messy, hot and wet work.  Trashed many a piece 
of clothing while I was using it….

I have 3.
One is 6.5 hp Honda engine driven, 3000 psi from nozzle.
One is 8 hp Honda engine, 4,500 psi from nozzle.
One is 12 hp [Honda engine again], with diesel powered heat to make steam.
4,500 psi.
Bigger engines drive bigger pumps, for more water volume. as a basic rule.

The steam cleaner is nothing short of "whip ass" when it comes to cleaning.
A feature which you pay pretty dearly for, cost wise to own. I have used it
to remove failed clear coat on paint, for example... touchy... don't expect
a "Martha" result.

Much of what I do involves "electrical remote areas" [off grid Ranch] so
the engine power works best for that...

Wonderful to have every time I use them... makes mechanical work on
machines so much nicer to "blast them off" ahead of time... Use care where
you "blast".. you should be good.
