Looking at the JetClean for washing the car and maybe the patio. The specs say it can hook up to a garden hose, but I’m wondering if that’s just a marketing thing or if it actually works without leaking everywhere. Anyone tried it with a regular hose setup?

[Paul Graves]

I just use mine with a regular hose and it’s fine. No leaks or anything. Pretty straightforward.

Mine works fine with a regular hose. Didn’t need any adapters or tape, just screwed it on and it held. Not sure what would cause a leak unless the rubber washer is missing.

I’d probably just try it and see what happens honestly. If it leaks, you can always grab a rubber washer or some plumber’s tape for a couple bucks. But I’d guess it’s fine unless your hose connector is super old or beat up.

I can see why you’d be skeptical, marketing claims can be hit or miss. I’ve had good luck with mine on a regular hose though, the connection felt solid and didn’t give me any trouble. Might depend a bit on the specific washer you get, but it’s not just made up.

Honestly I just use it with a bucket most of the time. The hose connection worked fine the few times I tried it but I didn’t really see the point since you still have to drag the hose around.

Never had a problem with mine. Screwed it onto a regular hose and it didn’t leak or anything. Seems like it either works or it doesn’t depending on your luck with the threads.

I tried it with a garden hose and honestly wasn’t that impressed. Kind of felt like the connection was always a bit loose no matter what I did.

It works fine for most people. If yours is leaking, check if the hose end is in good shape or if the o ring is seated right.

[Chris Miller]

Worked fine on mine with a regular hose, no leaks or anything. Pretty straightforward to hook up.

[Laura Check]

I just hooked mine up to a regular hose and it was fine, no leaks or anything. I think if your hose end is in decent shape it should work without issues.

[Tom911]

Works fine with a garden hose here. No leaks, just screwed it on and went. I wouldn’t overthink it.

[Jess Runner]

Honestly I haven’t had any issues with mine and a regular hose. Screwed it on and it was fine, no drama. Might just depend on the specific hose end you have.

[Tessa Lane]

Works fine with a standard hose on mine. No leaks, just screwed it on and it held. People probably overcomplicate it.

[Cecily]

Honestly I’d just try it and see. If your hose end isn’t beat up it should be fine.

[Emma Locke]

I’d probably just use it with a bucket instead, honestly. I don’t like dragging a hose around when I’m doing the patio, so the self-suction thing is nicer for me. But if you already have the hose out, it should be fine.

[Mike Reynolds]

Alright, thanks for the replies. Sounds like it’s not as fussy as I thought it might be. I’ll just give it a shot with my hose and see if it holds up.

[Jordan Writes]

I’ve hooked mine up a bunch of times and never had a leak.
