You try out your new purchase yet? Seems like a solid deal, might jump on it pending your review

Keep me posted if you recieve it prior to the deal close off. Been thinking about picking up a powerwasher for a while now. Was going to go with one of those Sun Joe electric ones, but I am skeptical on the reliability as I have seen some negative reviews.

Side note, I try to keep a wax/sealant on my car at all times(wax/sealant ~ every 2 months), do I need to worry about stripping my wax using a powerwasher over hand washing? Obviously I don't intend to be too close to the paint while power washing, but still a concern.

You shouldn't get too close, but stripping can also be due to an acidic wash. There are neutral soap formulas designed not to strip wax/sealant.

i forgot to update, but lowes cancelled my order. ended up getting a similar spec washer from costco. got an adam's wand and some soap in the mail as well.

So this is what I ended up with... $200 Costco pressure washer (still Honda powered). 75' mtm hose, cheap reel, mtm fittings, Adams short gun/foam cannon. I pull the washer out of the garage a few feet to start it and ventilate it. Everything is quick disconnects, so I just pull the hose up, click it in, and I'm good to go. Overall, I'm very happy.

Reel above is air.

Any other short gun alternatives other than 170 from Adam's?

A buddy got a cheap foamer from amazon, but I'm not sure if it included a shorter gun.
