I’m on a well and don’t have very high water pressure. It’s so low it can’t even wash bird droppings off whatever they fly over. I saw this little gizmo on TV and bought one on Amazon. Now I wasn’t really expecting much and I didn’t really get much. However that X5 pressure burst was just enough to do the trick. The battery lasted long enough to clean the bugs off the nose of the car and rinse the dust off the rest. I even had enough to wash the push mower and the riding lawn mower which wasn’t really dirty.

That's funny. I saw the same commercial and thought of getting one.
Than, I checked the Harbor Freight website. They also have one. It's a Bauer "tool only" item.
I have Bauer tools, so I have a battery already.

The portable pressure washer they have is not much more price wise and is certainly more powerful.
However, you need your garden house connected and run a power cord.

Mine will also siphon out of a bucket. I think this thing would be very powerful if you have decent pressure to begin with. I have the volume so taking showers or running the dish/clothes washers is normal.

Yeah, it's the same with the Bauer tool. The Bauer price is without a battery, which is at least another $65 plus a charger.
So, your price is not bad. I think they are rated at around 320/350 PSI. I don't believe your water pressure on the garden hose matters. They create the pressure in the machine. I like the portability, but you still need a water source, aka bucket or a bottle attached to the wand. I read they still have a water hose adapter, you can use that as a water source.

The smallest corded compact pressure washer is rated at 1800 PSI. You need your 120/140V plugin and the length of a cord.

I have 2 vehicles and truck parked outside. 2 of them are under the tree. A pressure washer would help to shoot dust and residue off the vehicles.

All in all, I really think it's a useful handy tool to have around and clean stuff up.
