It is the mid-tier option in my lineup, between the entry-level and high-end units. In my testing, it measured 975 PSI at 1.90 GPM with a 4.0 nozzle, and we added fittings and accessories to make it work as a portable setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eI wanted a mid-tier choice next to my entry-level and high-end picks. The Comet fits because it gives you two things. It is reliable in my experience, and it gives you enough flow for car washing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"4\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy I focus on flow\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFor washing a car, I prefer more flow over more pressure. I aim for as much flow as I can get at around 1000 PSI. Anywhere from 900 to 1200 PSI works well. You do not need to chase the pressure number. Many people expect 2,000 or 3,000 PSI from a pressure washer, and that is not what I measure in real-world testing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"4\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat I measured in testing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eI measured 975 PSI at 1.90 GPM with a 4.0 nozzle. That falls inside my target range for washing a car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"4\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow we made it portable\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Comet is a good unit, and it needed a few changes to work as a portable solution. We solved the main one with fittings and accessories in this kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe pump inlet has BSPP (British Standard Pipe Parallel) threads. The unit comes with an adapter that converts BSPP to GHT (garden hose threads), so you can connect a standard hose or one of my \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.obsessedgarage.mom\/products\/swiveling-inlet-hose\"\u003einlet hoses\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe adapter made the inlet too long for the inlet hose to fit when the unit sits on the ground. We added a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.obsessedgarage.mom\/products\/stainless-bspt-90-degree-elbow\"\u003e90-degree elbow\u003c\/a\u003e to fix that. You do not need to raise the pressure washer on a milk crate. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"4\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho this is for\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis is a portable solution.
