There are some strange hybrids out there and some that are ingenious. For instance, my parents live in a very small town and, outside of that small town, is an even smaller town. At the main intersection lies (I'm not kidding) a combination hair salon-bus repair shop. That's an odd hybrid. This Power It! 2-in-1 Pressure Washer & Wet-Dry Vacuum from Walmart is super clever and, I think, would be quite handy to have in the garage in the warmer months! It will also ship directly to you without any added cost as it's over $50.
Another great find from the Clearance section at Walmart.ca, this Power It! 2-in-1 Pressure Washer & Wet-Dry Vacuum was originally priced at $128 and has been marked down by 45% to just $70. That's a decent price for a pressure washer OR a wet-dry vacuum but, with this, you're getting both!
The electric pressure washer component has a maximum pressure of 2000 PSI and expels up to 1.5 gallons of water per minute, which is considered "medium-duty" in the Pressure Washer World. That's a pretty good size for having around the average house and can handle car washing and cleaning of other surfaces like outdoor furniture, fences, decks, patios, driveways, etc. It also features an adjustable spray nozzle, on-board detergent tank and quick-connect hose and nozzle system.
The wet-dry vacuum component of the unit is detachable! So, if there's a big mess inside, you don't need to drag the whole thing in; just grab the vacuum. It has suction and blowing capabilities and a washable, reusable filter bag. A car nozzle, crevice tool and dust brush are all included to make cleaning the car a breeze.
The Power It! brand is exclusive to Walmart so comparing identical units isn't possible. But I found a similar unit by big-name brand Dirt Devil with, a lower PSI rating, going for $230!
As for quality, there are only two reviews but both are 5-star.
I put it to work for over 2 hours on the first day, cleaning house siding, (only realized how faded and dirty it was after spraying) and a large cement slab. By focusing the spray you really get the grime out. The sprayer has good features; metal connectors for hoses, easy-lock attachements. The wand hose is of good rubber, not hard plastic. It also includes 2 canisters for soap or detergent. The vacuum has suction and handy to clean the car.
Overall, well designed, and powerful.
There is a note in one review imploring the reader to read the instructions for full satisfaction so I gather there may be a bit of a learning curve to getting the machine working optimally but a read through the manual will get you up and running.
The Power It! 2-in-1 Pressure Washer & Wet-Dry Vacuum is eligible for free home delivery or to a Grab & Go Locker at your (participating) local Walmart.
