Rechargable Sprayer/Washer - Yes or no?

[TTQ B4U]

So I"m always looking for a way to improve things, waste less and better get the job done.

What I love about rinseless or less rinse type washes like Optimum and others is that they are fast and save me a lot of time. I do love me a good summer morning playing int he water but overall, it's not what I want to do every week and really can't do so in the winter.

I also like the fact that rinseless washes use less water and can be done just about anywhere including my garage which does not have a drain. I do have heat so winter washes are nice.

Other goals would be to have a bit more pressure to remove stubborn or more built up grime and or to use with my reverse osmosis system. Here I could just fill say a 3.5gal container and use it to rinse off my vehicles.

What are your thoughts, am I crazy, looking to waste money or does this idea have legs? Not in this for portable power for a business, just home use on my own vehicles and things.

The one I saw listed in the store here is a bit much for me. Great for a portable business but overkill for my needs.

Something like these are what I'm looking at:

Open to others they may come recommended.

Thanks in advance!

Why not pressure wash in the drive way and then pull inside for a rinseless?

Because in the winter temps here are anywhere from 32* to -14 at times. Too cold.

Could work in the summer but it would be nice not to have to mess with a hose and power cable, etc. Would be simple just to drop a rechargeable self-contained unit down and go at it. Pressure isn't much more than say a regular hose, but I can live with it.

I have the second system pictured and it's awesome, I replaced the hose and trigger with a coiled air hose and pressure gun trigger

^^ would you mind linking me even via PM to the hose and gun you upgraded it with?

many thanks.

But the units you listed below
are also pressure washers.

Don't you think that the 32* to -14* Winter temps
would also effect them because it'd be too cold?

So my answer to your thread-starter's
question is a resounding No.

I've watched some really good reviews from Amazon and they show it working to about the same as a garden hose in terms of pressure. That works for me as a power washer would be too messy in a 2.5 car garage like mine. What I like about it though is there's no need for a water connection and I can mix my No-Rinse solution right inside and it would be more powerful than the garden sprayer I'm currently using.

Should not be too cold at all as I have a heated garage.

Interesting idea. For applying pre-soak and light pre-rinsing it should work well. For heavier pre-rinsihing on vehicles like my Suburban with horizontal surfaces that love to hold heavy salt/sand/road spray (running boards, rear step bumper...) I'm not sure the portable unit has the volume I'd like.

Thanks again for your help.

Got mine all configured and working. Does a great job for what I'm looking to do in the garage for my modified rinseless wash system. Should do well in both summer and winter.
