Anyone have any good input on a brand or feedback on one of these over the traditional?

I have a traditional pressure washer, but with certain messy situations I like the idea of the hot
water to help loosen debris beyond what any solutions in a jug might offer.

Not at a point yet where I see a need for a tow behind, although every northern tool catalog I get
I drool a little bit over the things I'd like to eventually own...

Any thoughts welcome.

Justin

I've don't own one, YET, but I've used one on several occasions when I was racing and they are awesome, especially on grease. I think they'd really out perform a pressure washer on raccoon traps.

Thanks G,

I'm looking mostly for removing pigeon droppings and residue associated with that in commercial and residential applications.

Power washer does a nice job but thinking hot water can't hurt! Your application is a good one that shows me some good promise.

Apparently, you also misspelled another word too. ( But you did get "Steve" right. Not so sure about "Rouleau" )

Steam unit is even better! Similar to a pipe thawing unit, 2 gallons of water will run the unit about a hour. They can be made out of a old 10 gallon hot water heater. I have seen them and they do not need any electricity, just propane!!

one hand, I can show him how to turn his hww hot water washer into a wet steam if he wants, but for this application he doesn't want. I sold and ran a sales dept for hotsy for over 7 years and learned a lot about them

I have a pressure washing business. Only cold water P/W should be used on external building surfaces. One reason is condensation from hot water. Using the right cleaning solution and applying it for the proper time should remove almost anything a warm water machine will remove on homes.You should be using a alkaline solution to neutralize the pigeon droppings. Most of the cleaners you can buy from the home centers is a watered down version of the real solutions. Reason is so Joe the home owner does not destroy his home by using them full strength. Look online for commercial P/W solutions.Grease and heavy oil build up is another story. A steam Jenny is your best bet for that. Also dish washing liquid such as dawn works OK in a pinch and you can not harm anything using it.

I bet I sold over 1oo washers myself to contract cleaners for building cleaning and every single one of them were hot water washers. you can always shut the burner off if you wand cold water, but cold is almost never the better option

I have been using not selling them for 41 years. Hot,cold and steam jennys. I can only tell you what using them as well as all the reading I have done has taught me. If I were selling them I would sell the more expensive units also.

We all have our own experiences but I sold a ton of units to some of the largest contract cleaners out there and I know what they used and needed

I use a hotsy (did I spell it correctly?) to clean my traps and the bed of my truck. I can't think of a better way to do it. It is a great piece of equipment. However it is not mine and I probably would not buy one, just because of the cost. It is much more damaging than a regular pressure washer with the heat on. It will take the paint right off your vehicle if used incorrectly.
