Rotating Turbo Nozzle???

Anyone use the Rotating Turbo Nozzle with Filter? Saw it in Lowes and was wondering if it can be used on anything else besides Sidewalks & Driveways? Would it be safe to use on Vinyl Siding & Stucco? Would like some advice before we use it.

I have inline filters yes, I used to use turbo's but seldom do anymore even though I have them.

The ones you see at Home Depot I cannot speak for, have not seen them. Myself I buy from companies that sell true professional products.
 
Anna,I wouldn't use it on Vinyl or e-specially stucco or alumu. siding,they make a buzzing sound and it would be deafing on vinyl and alumu.,it would tear stucco up but a little pract'us you can use it on any thing,You can use it on brick.
 
Thanks Jon & Big Boy for your replies. Will start using it first on Driveways & Sidewalks until we get familiar with how it works. There are plenty of dirty driveways that need attention here.

Anna if whats so forget about the turbo and get a flatsurface cleaner it'll pay for itself in the time you save the customer in doing them,cost more to do them with a turbo.
 
Make sure to wear saftey googles, because the turbo nozzles really kick up debris.

I would not use a turbo nozzle on vinyl or aluminum siding. I prefer to not use really high pressure to clean something. I would rather use the proper chems, and let them do the work. A turbo has the potential to do a lot of damage on almost any surface.

I hardly use mine at all. If you do buy one, make sure it is rebuildable, and that parts are available.

Hey if you care what the concrete looks like when you are done don’t use it on driveways. I tried one on the sidewalk outside my house and it etched little circles in nice little patterns. It worked well at the gas station but the station had better concrete. Just something to think about

I second what Bigboy has said about the surface cleaner, if your intent is to clean sidewalks, driveways and other open areas don't bother buying that turbo.

Spend the money and get a good surface cleaner, your in Florida, Whisper Wash Co. is there and they make a good product.

If you don't plan to do a lot of flat work by the smaller one, I use a 28" one but I do tons of flat work.

I like the Big Guy and also the handle on it.

I disagree. I think turbo nozzles kick up less debris then a regular nozzle.......although, safety goggles is a great idea regardless.

And if you decide to get a surface cleaner, get a turbo nozzle anyway.......you will still find plenty of uses for it.
 
I agree with Mike,after you learn how to use it in your trade it'll pay for itself in the smaller areas around the house,better than getting wet with a fan on tuff spots.
 
in the last two years all i have used is the turbo nozzle to clean everything,just hold it further away on items that damage easy,
i would not use a turbo on stucco.
i just purchased a landa water jet last week,(thanks ron musgraves for the recommendation) and i could not believe how fast it was and how good a job it did. thanks to the surface cleaner i done a $125 job that normally takes me one hour with a turbo nozzle in 30 minutes,and the concrete looked better than when i use a turbo nozzle.
