    Bought a Jetterix because the ads make it sound like a mini pressure washer, but I’m not convinced. It’s good for loose dirt and rinsing cars, way easier than hauling out a real washer. That said it totally choked on old grime and oil on the driveway, so not a full replacement in my experience. Anyone tried it on concrete or stuck-on stains and had better luck?

    Yep, same experience here—great for dust and cars but useless on baked-on oil on concrete. I sprayed a degreaser and scrubbed first which helped a bit, but stubborn spots still needed a real pressure washer.

    Same here. Good for cars and light cleanup, I rent a pressure washer for the driveway.

    Works great for cars, patio furniture and quick rinses, so I kept it for convenience. Not a real pressure washer replacement for me since baked-on driveway gunk stayed put. If you just want something handy for light jobs it’s worth it. For deep concrete stains a real washer is still the move.

    Thanks, that matches my experience, it handles loose dirt and cars fine but choked on the old oil stains. I think I’ll rent a pressure washer for the driveway and maybe keep the Jetterix for quick rinses. Not totally surprised, the ads oversell it.

    I wonder if part of it is just the water pressure at your place. Mine works okay for some things but I have a feeling it would barely do anything with weaker flow. Not bad for what it is though.
