Fanttik K100 pocket pressure washer

[spackard]

Local Costco sells it for $39.99 in store, $49.99 online, and a similar model goes for $89.99 on Amazon.
As long as you don’t get expectations up it does a fine job.
0.66gpm at the strongest setting. I thought I’d try using it for a spot-free rinse tool.
It’s so small it works fine for cleaning window sills from the inside of the house, and I used it to shoot down the kitchen drain to dislodge any mold and food particles to try to keep the drain from smelling. I’ve taken the pipes apart before to clean them but a smell seems to come back after 6 months.

Max it draws when charging via usb-c is 8 watts, so not a fast charger.
Its size is pretty small. Probably cleaning my garage door is about the largest job I think it could do. It would be more of a low-flow pressure nozzle than a 3000psi monster at that. But probably right size for cleaning a battery tray.

Something like that could be very practical for washing cars. Dirt lays on a cars surface, and it doesn't require a high amount of pressure to remove it. (Unless you play in the mud with trucks and dirt bikes).

And it's a pain to drag out gas powered pressure washers, along with all the hoses, nozzles, etc. My Kohler powered Simpson does a great job. But I usually end up talking myself out of using it, because it's a lot of trouble to get out, set up, and put everything away afterward.

Update: returned to store today; bought. 63 days ago. Seemed to develop an internal crack that allowed air to be sucked into pump, ruining output pressure and volume. Also, the multi nozzle developed a quirk that it only allowed me to rotate the head CCW. Sometimes the selected nozzle would be misaligned just a little and water would come out in several places.

What is the return policy by Costco on this? I bought it few weeks ago without realizing that it needs a bucket to work with! What is the technical reason it can not be connected to the water supply?

It doesn’t have a hose adapter, but from what I understand if it did then as soon as you turn on the hose water it would drool out the front of the gun. There’s no shutoff valve on it; there’s only an electric trigger for the pump.

My Costco seemed willing to take it back without fuss. Just asked me if there was a problem with it (my guess is they’d mark it bad).
