15 gallons, ability to strap down, 12v pump for non-maunal pressure, LONG hose, large fill hole and drain plug, and about $100 before coupons (one can use HFT 20% off Any Single Item and Free Item With Any Purchase coupon for max savings!). DO buy a protection plan for those with less than a five digit income.

130 lbs full.  I can build my own unit for $25.00 using a 5 gallon square jug.  40 lbs full. 

But that is not a current priority.

Square jug would be better but I've only see n them in 2.5 gallon size

I would think twice before drinking anything out of that..... Maybe thrice!

Yea, drinking is out of the question. But it looks like it will work. Square would be much better though. This is a unit for people who can't, others will find a way to do it cheaper.

Even WM has them. Coleman sells a lot of 5 gallon units.  Camping supply stores, Bass Pro, and the better markets.  

There was a thread about them a couple months ago.
 
$100 is not low cost,  It also has almost as many 1 star reviews as 5 star reviews,   :dodgy:
 
to think you can get a pressure washer out of a ciggy powered thing is pure fantasy. a good pressure washers has at least a 5HP gas engine. you won't get 1/4 HP out of a ciggy plug. save your money. on the subject of that original water tank, any water I carry is going to be potable. why carry water that you can't drink? that's like carrying food you can't eat, beer you can't drink, or diesel when your vehicle runs off of gas. highdesertranger

He already spent the money, and bought a 2 year warranty as well.

The bucket washer isn't a replacement for a 5 HP pressure washer, but does provide crazy pressure for showers and washing dishes. WAY more pressure than a pumped up garden sprayer or 12v pump showerhead. Great for those who desire real pressure to blast the dirt off from behind their ears and rinse ravioli cans before throwing them in the trash or recycle.

If it goes bust in 2 years, file a claim from the protection plan, send the bucket washer back and get $100 back!

GotSmart, I think you're jealous of the van.
 
Some of us are able to make our own stuff and some of us can't so I still find that this was a good post. I do disagree with some of the follow up logic though but I'm starting to expect this now.

If it is high pressure then I would definitely change the nozzle head on it! With the right amount of pressure, you can rip through clothing.

I'm deleting the cruel posts.

If you disagree and even dislike another member that's okay, your choice, you do not get to be mean-spirited to them. Some have made Debit.Servus your pet project to harass. That's going to stop. In the future those posts will be deleted.
