Is the hydroshot that good?

It won't replace a power washer but it does a good job of getting the loose dirt off of the surface and it is good enough to rinse the soap off of the panel. Two 5 gallon buckets provide enough rinsing water to complete my SUV.

Interesting. My problem is that I normally have heavy mud deposits on my Jeep.

And I live off of a dirt road. It doesn’t help that my winter hobby is cruising the back roads. I’ve come across some pretty gnarly areas that makes me wonder how anyone without 4x4 could make it down the road.

Ann Arbor area, what about you?

It might work on the mud deposits but you would probably go through a couple of batteries and three buckets of water just for the fenders, wheel wells and undercarriage.

Too cold and impractical?? What kind of New Englander says that? I live in Southeastern Mass and my cars get the full treatment all year round. Get yourself some ice fishing gloves for the outdoor washes in the winter. I actually used them yesterday when I did a full two bucket wash. I also use the Worx Hydroshot with buckets filled with warm water during the winter months when the garden hose is frozen.
Keeping that glistening shine on your vehicles all year round is possible. You just have to improvise and adapt.

You've inspired me.

It's a great tool if you have reasonable expectations for what it CAN and CAN NOT do. I use mine to clean tires/wheels/wells when it's cold out and the outside water is turned off. Before I had access to outside water and parking underground I would do a 2BM wash (using a 3rd five gallon bucket for rinse water) Yes it takes longer to rinse but you can still maintain your ride in the winter. I HIGHLY suggest the 40v battery as it gives a little more power and longer work time.

There is a "new and improved" model that uses dual 40v batteries, sounds like a greater tool for sure

I still do rinseless weekly in the winter. I take the vehicles to the spray bay to get the heavy salt off and then to the garage for rinseless. It definitely gets dirtier quicker with all the salt on the roads
