The target is as much flow as possible at around 1000 PSI. Don't get too hung up on the pressure number. I know we have been conditioned to think we are getting 2,000 or 3,000 PSI out of pressure washers, but that is not what I measure in real-world testing. 1,000 PSI is more than enough to blast the mud off your Jeep or get the salt out of your wheel wells. Trust me on this one, flow (GPM) is king in the car washing game. For example, the $4,500 Kranzle I had in my wash bay provided me 950 measured PSI with a 6.0 sized nozzle at 2.8 GPM.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eIf you want to take your pressure washer to the next level, look for our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.obsessedgarage.mom\/collections\/karcher-accessories\/products\/karcher-k1700-portable-solution\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eportable\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.obsessedgarage.mom\/collections\/karcher-accessories\/products\/karcher-k1700-cube-wall-mount-solution\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ewall install solutions\u003c\/a\u003e on the website.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Obsessed Garage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":16617833037896,"sku":"KR-1.106-109.0","price":189.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1239\/9256\/products\/Q4A9869_6b9a8b7b-4b4e-49af-9052-24fdf3557e8f.jpg?v=1634226303"},{"product_id":"karcher-sprayer-and-wand-upgrade-kit","title":"Karcher Sprayer and Wand Upgrade Kit","description":"\u003ch4\u003e\u003cb\u003eDescription\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFor many years, I used the OEM pressure washer sprayer and wand that came with this unit.

It was a great sprayer that I enjoyed but it had limitations to it.

The reason why you want a swiveling sprayer is because it alleviates the issue of the pressure washer hose getting tangled and twisted. If you’re just starting out and are looking to get in the game, this is a great option. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eNow, if you’re looking to step it up a notch, you’ll want to look at the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.obsessedgarage.mom\/products\/original-mosmatic-swiveling-sprayer-with-quick-disconnects\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eOriginal Mosmatic Sprayer\u003c\/a\u003e. Like the MTM SGS-28, the Original Mosmatic Sprayer has a swivel. The difference is that the swivel on the advanced sprayer is made by Mosmatic and is of much higher quality - it swivels much smoother.

This is my pride and joy. Lots of money and time went into developing this sprayer. This piece uses all the best connections and hardware available in the market. It also swivels but the swivel and QD (quick disconnect) is built into the handle reducing the bulk on the inlet of the sprayer, making it much more ergonomic.
