174 PSI pressure washer

The product photo of it being used to pressure wash a dog tells me everything I need to know about it
City tap pressure is 40 to 80 PSI and this is 2 to 4 times. I was thinking about bike seals and bearings when doing a light cleanup. The 1500 to 2000 PSI isn't recommended. My 120 volt one has about 150 feet of combined supply and delivery hose and power cord. It's a pain to pull out to clean the bird bath. This one fits in a bag. Mixed reviews.
What do you want to use it for?
Washing tires, cars, driveways, walkways, fences, dogs, small children etc.... ?
My water pressure in Mississauga is 70 PSI, so this would be roughly 2.5 times stronger.
Probably better than a hose for small jobs and pretty low cost.
Costco has a very flexible return policy. If you buy one and don't like just return it.

I bought a Ryobi one on clearance a couple of years back, supposed to be 600 psi. Can use a bucket of water, pond, puddle or connect to hose. I used it once to try to clean off the bird crap above a door, sucking out of a bucket so I didnt have to drag the hose around. My son was watching while I did it. It wasnt very effective. My son said he thinks the hose would have done a better job. I dont recall what battery I was using, might have been a 2 ah. That might have been the issue but I havent used it for anything since.

This is less than a quarter the price but my wife asked what I would use it for and it came down to the bird bath and the bicycle. She does the bird bath with a brush and the bike can be done with a carwash mitt. Deep thought saves money.
I've had my eye on this unit for some time.

Great reviews and I already have numerous other products that take the same battery.
Not saying get this one, just sharing another option.

There are a few around at $200+ which automatically negates the deal for me. The Costco one was ~$60 and could be a possibility for someone who plays in the mud occasionally, clean the windscreen, license plate and knock off some of the mud. Just carry a jug of water.I've had my eye on this unit for some time.

To get one just for the bird bath isn't worth it. They drink their bath water.
And $200 is really $300 as the bottom one doesn't even include a hose. $70 more for two batteries, hose, water bag, foam cannon and more is reasonable.
It is pretty hard to find a job where any of these little battery powered washers are much better than a bucket and brush.

A healthy young man can piss at a flow rate of .47 gallons/minute. That pressure washer is slightly higher at .48 gallons/minute.
Drink lots of water - it’s cheaper.

"I thought this would connect to a garden hose, but can only be used with a pail of water."
A little off-topic, but here's a prime example of my issue with Amazon, Costco, etc. reviews. This one gave 5 stars, but for what?
"I have bought other Fantik products in the past and they have been great. I am looking forward to using this portable pressure washer."

Reviews have long had issues where may people rank based on delivery experience or feelings that have nothing to do with the product at hand. Ideally, those would get flagged as useless. Don't disappear them, just categorize them as a waste of time and remove them from the metrics.
My difficulty is water pressure, want something just to give me a decent boost without stripping the paint off the car.. I get Stihl at cost so that appeals to me.
The 2000 PSI is at the nozzle. Ten feet away it's rain and twenty just drizzle. For giggles I've cut meat at an inch.
The Costco one is a niche market and I came to the conclusion that if it was powerful enough to blast grime out of tight corners it was powerful enough to blast grime into a bearing and vice versa.
The bird bath gets a corded toilet brush. The cord hangs it on a nail in the shed.

Long ago when i fit the bill for school boy MX we used those pump up water filled fire extinguishers, thinking that the 174psi pressure washer would perform around the same.
Prepare to be underwhelmed.

I have used water in a CTC undercoating spray gun at 90 PSI and if works, sort of.

Where do you get the used water?
