It certainly warrants full testing; the theory is good, and it would be very useful for shows and events, but question is, will it work well enough for long enough to make the (significant) expenditure worthwhile? Only way to know would be to buy and test... feeling brave?!

90 PSI should be just about enough I would have thought, but I doubt the foam will be as thick as it would be with a mains unit. Also, I can't tell from the pictures whether the connector will take one of the standard HD Lance adaptors, so I'm not sure at this point if it could be made to fit.

Would it have enough capacity at 3.5 gallons to wash and rinse a car after driving to a show?
