Plus, you can always adjust the pressure you’re applying by simply holding your wand closer or farther from the surface you’re cleaning. It’s kind of the Goldilocks of options, giving us the “just right” amount of pressure for cleaning patios, decking, outdoor fabrics, and more. There’s a handy guide on the top of the device that explains the differences between the three, along with holes to store them in.Īs we describe in the video, we almost EXCLUSIVELY use the middle (medium pressure) orange nozzle. This pressure washer comes with 3 nozzle options that offer different levels of pressure for different applications (you can also purchase others as needed). Attach your hose tightly just like you would screw it onto your home’s hose bib. On the opposite side of the pressure washer, there’s a black threaded connection that fits a regular garden hose. Just hand tighten until they’re both secure. One end connects to your trigger handle, the other to the brass connection on the pressure washer. Each end has an identical black threaded collar. The high-pressure hose is what carries the pressurized water from the machine to the spray wand. We typically store our wand and trigger handle assembled, but coming fresh out of the box you’ll need to lock these two pieces together with a simple twist. And, as we show in the video, set-up is pretty much as easy as just connecting those two things!

So unless you have a special need for something more intense, this is a fantastic option. Plus it’s pretty much the most affordable option out there and we especially love that it’s compact and easy to use. In fact, we don’t even use it on it’s highest setting.

We bought it for our beach house in 2018, and when we moved we opted to bring it with us instead of an older/larger version we had before – just because this one is so compact and reliable and (most importantly) GOOD AT CLEANING.
