Title: Different backpack
Post by: TonyD on October 30, 2009, 01:38:04 pm: You may or may not have read me mention I was a car detailer before, anyway, while browsing a car detailing forum I spotted a link to these new backpacks. Marketed as mobile pressure washers, but backpack style machines is what they are.

Adjustable power from 45.5 to 130.5 PSI
Auto shut of pump, starts upon trigger opening.
17 Ltr.

Any views on whether they'd be good for WFP cleaning ?

Could it be hooked up to a van mount as well?

Post by: cybersye on October 31, 2009, 11:27:02 am: I have the wcw one but would have considered this one ! the wheels and shoulder strap look a neat idea, I threw away my rucksack straps that came with mine straight away I just carry it by the handle. The only improvement I can think of is if it had an extendable handle to pull it along by, crouching over to pull it along by the wheels could become a pain over time. Also like the net pouch to keep the hose in.

Just fit a suitable hand brush on and away you go! Just shake off the drips before you go back through the house!
