Acti-matic Power Washer

[GerryB54]

I asked my wife to purchase this item for me for Christmas a few years ago, the Acti-matic Power Washer.

It seemed like a very well designed product online, in actuality, the version I received had many design flaws. Luckily the owner of the company was hands-on...a one man operation, I think, so he replaced all the faulty components with new, re-designed components and it works much better now.

He shipped me almost a complete new unit six months after the original one was failing, all at no charge of course.

It takes a little getting used to, but handling it gets easier with usage.

You can put concentrated soap in it and it feeds out the end with water and the battery spins the main brush well. The telescoping pole is another big feature, no need for a ladder.

My unit came with two batteries and a charger, and they "almost" allow you to complete cleaning an RV from start to finish...almost.

I actually find it most useful as a black streak remover tool...I use it without the hose attached (easier to maneuver) and the stiffer rotating brush...spray on the black streak remover, then run the telescoping unit/brush over the side of the RV, then hose off with water.

When it was purchased for me, my wife paid around $129.00...looks like it's up to $149.00 today.

I would give this product a B rating.

On edit, I would give it a C-...just used it for the first time in a while on the front and rear of the Bounder...I had forgotten how the round black rubber splash protector leaves black streaks if you hit it against anything...what a PITA...gonna call the owner and see if he's replaced that item with something else.
