Why Trust Us

We start with the surface—not the product box. Every recommendation is a complete setup recipe designed to protect finishes while saving time and water. We publish the numbers that matter: square feet cleaned per minute, gallons per job, dBA at the operator’s ear, and the total cost of clean. If a setup can’t pass our finish-safety checks or meet performance targets, we don’t recommend it.

Our field tests are standardized and repeatable. We use calibrated gauges for PSI, true-flow meters for GPM at the wand, sound meters for decibels, and marked test panels for timing and coverage. Recipes specify tip orifice by GPM, nozzle angle and type, standoff distance, detergent choice and dilution, dwell time, and stroke technique. This level of detail removes guesswork and prevents damage.

We are independent. We do not sell placements. When we use affiliate links, we disclose them and never let commissions influence our picks. We test budget gear alongside pro-grade equipment and publish clear trade-offs for water/noise constraints, portability, and long-term ownership costs. Our goal is simple: help you buy the right system the first time and use it with confidence, safely.
