Does It Really Do That? Turbo Jet

 "It's about a $400 or $500 model, 1 man can put it in the truck and take it out himself. It takes about five to ten minutes for set up, and it will take gasoline," Dave told KDKA-TV news anchor/"Can It Really Do This?" Reporter Jennifer Antkowiak.

Dave and his clients love the results he receives, however, the notion of being able to use something lighter, and less expensive sounded interesting to him.

The Hydro Jet High Pressure Power Washer is designed to turn any garden hose into a power washer. The industrial shows it being used to wash all the sorts of things Dave works with.

He took a look at the Turbo Jet and liked a lot of the features. Plus, he said it seemed to be well-made.

It turns on and off real easy. It's an aluminum beam with some brass handles and brass links," he said.

Dave and Jennifer were at a patio that had some work. The Turbo Jet is assumed to be able to quickly and easily clean built up dirt, leaves, debris, and even algae.

The instructions and meeting were easy. Dave simply screwed the Turbo Jet want on a garden hose.

"There's not a whole lot of stress there," Dave stated. "I could get this using a hose."

The Turbo Jet did move some leaves and twigs, but not as efficiently as Dave had hoped. Considering that the marketing claims the Turbo Jet turns any hose into a power washer, Dave wanted to see whether it would clean dirt away concrete, which will be something he knows his pressure washer can perform.

Dave and Jen did notice a gap on the concrete, but Dave felt it was taking too much time, and wasn't happy with the quality. Again, he explained,"I believe I could find exactly the very same results from a hose nozzle."

Next, Dave attempted the Turbo Jet on the wooden deck. There again, it did some cleaning, but Dave just wasn't impressed.

"I don't see any algae at all being removed here, and I am holding it in an inch," he said.

He didn't feel much better about how it worked to clean dirt off sliding doors. Dave changed the attachment out to try out the Jet Spray nozzle.

Again, he didn't feel much of a difference in power as he travelled to work on some stone.

"I'm [going to] be here a very long time," he said.

For the sake of contrast, Dave wished to attempt cleaning a number of the same things with the normal garden hose sprayer.

"Jen, I think I'm getting more pressure from this, I really do," he said.

Dave felt like the hose did exactly the same, if not better moving debris and cleaning the window.

There was a big difference.

His washer easily cleaned the concrete, the algae off the wood decking and brick, dirt off the sliding glass doors and stones, and he blasted algae off a chair in seconds.

"Bang! Done!" He said.

So, the Turbo Jet promises to turn any garden hose into a power washer and then blast away dirt, debris and algae quickly and easily.

Does it really do this?

Dave gives it a thumbs down.

"It doesn't do a fantastic job, and it's just too time-consuming," he told Jen.
