Go rent two washers (I know... seems like a waste) and use both on job you are planning. This way you have a side by side comparison. My guess is after a few minutes you'll stop using the cold washer hooked to 100F water and be using the hot water to finish the job. I'd rather rent two to determine which one works best for me than to buy one and find out it didn't work the way I had hoped.
I sell construction equipment. I do a lot of HEAVY degreasing and cleaning off grime. No better way to do that than with a hot water washer. Your time has a price associated with it. I'd calculate your time savings using the tool designed for the job into the equation as well.
He wouldn't even need 2 machines, just get a hot pressure washer and try it w the furnace turned off and on.
