Been using this a couple years now. Works great. Thought I would finally get around to taking some pictures and video.

Haven't bought any nasty chemicals since I got this. I only use water to clean.

I am surprised that you use that. That does not seem convenient. A hose with a nozzle works great on blower motor housings. I don't see the need for all the extra pressure for that. As far as the A coil and condenser coils I use the Speedclean coiljet CJ-95,and I love it for cleaning out coils.

Most mobile homes don't have an outdoor spigot. So you can't use a hose. I can use this with a 5 gallon bucket and siphon kit if there is no spigot, as was in this case. Actually the only thing not convenient was holding a camera while I did this.

I considered the coiljet cj-95, but my deciding factor was I didn't want to have to worry about 1 more battery to keep charged (in addition to my drill, flashlight, and leak detector) and I figured a plug in washer would be more powerful than a battery powered one, and I was concerned about how long the battery would run and last. But the cj-95 looks pretty good and probably is more convenient.

You have no idea! My before pics were actually after I precleaned it with the shop vac. That's why you can even see the coil fins in a few spots before I pressure washed it.

I have the same set up, plus one of their larger units. I sell my steady customers coil cleanings in the spring.I do not get many HP problems during the summer,good for both of us.
