I also think the thing looks like it's worth seven hundred and change.

One imperfection is the hose material is too hard. Coils up on itself more than I would like it to. Not a big hindrance and I am searching for criticisms.

FYI - You can buy a more flexible power washing hose at a higher PSI rating but I understand it is really expensive.

Also, as I noted above, I had the fuel injected Subaru. I would walk on it's own when running. The carb unit stays still.

I have an in-ground pool.. I had my walking fuel injected Soobie/RIGID unit near the pool. I was turned away washing like a fool. It took a swim. That is why I have the carb model.

However, the RIGID bright green 25 degree spray tip will minimize this risk..........


Cleaning exchanger bundles at refinery in Toledo. The washer unit heads were designed to pull themselves through the long tubes. One entered a guys body from the groin area and pulled itself upwards into his chest cavity. Buh-Bye

Edit - there was a second person that depressed the engagement foot pedal but I understand he was distracted. Doh.
