Especially for $150. Understand the battery is lithium but still…

The thing is, iK did a great job designing their sprayers to be highly functional. I only recently got a Multi Pro Sprayer, I now know why these things are so popular. Ergonomically, they are perfect.
So when I look at that battery solution, it just appears janky. I do realise that iK would need to redesign the whole head to properly integrate this, but I think that's what I would expect a brand at this level to do.

I think they saw all the garage jacks adding a cheap tire inflator and wanted to get something to market. One thing I do like is it not being built in if foamer breaks can move to new model.

Re: Inside Griot's Garage
I'm glad I added the battery powered compressor to mine, although mine was like $50.00 from Amazon, not $155.00 like IT'S, although an hour run time crushes what mine has. I can foam my car twice but that's the way I do it, so I could probably do it 3x's realistically. I foam the car well, wheelwells and tires and wheels and then go around it again to empty my gallon of solution out

Great video. I really like Mike, and think he's a super cool guy with great taste. That Century looks amazing as well, props to his detailer friend.
