false advertising

[Ellis Kinney]

Have any of you seen the You Tube commercial of the new hose nozzle that is as good as a pressure washer? The commercial shows it cutting through tree limbs and out performing 3000 psi washers. German engineering and brass internal gears, for $49.95. Supposedly it increased the pressure of a garden hose by a million times. This seems like false advertising and should be illegal. Unfortunately someone will buy it and be disappointed. Ellis

I had a friend like that. His wife would say that if he seen something like that on tv, he would buy it and then be disapppointed.

Just more AI generated misinformation. Best to research beyond YouTube videos these days if one is looking to purchase something clearly to good to be true.

They had to find a new gig, the cow magnets on the fuel lines, weren't selling. Had an old friend that put a "fuel economizer" on his 1 ton, 454 Chev. and couldn't figure why he had a loss of power. It was just a little check valve, basically, that restricted fuel flow. He brought it to me three times, and I told him what the problem was. Finally told him, "Take that d--n economizer and throw it as far as you possibly can, and your power will return." He did, and it did, end of story.

So it increases the pressure to 50 to 60 million PSI?

I didn't do the math, but the OP seems to think so.

Spray it on a Pelton wheel, spin a generator, power your data center with a garden hose.

I haven't seen the "million times water pressure" claim on any of the ads I've seen. Even a water jet cutter for glass or metal tops out at around 100,000 psi. In fact I don't think I've seen any of them make a claim of any specific psi output. They make general claims like "a powerful blast", "high pressure" or "cleans like a pressure washer". Without a specific claim, I doubt anything could be done to prove their claim is unsubstantiated. Sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Buyer beware, as they say.

I wouldn't pull the trigger on that gun for anything; I weigh 174#, it would blow me into the neighbors field.
I get a kick out of the commercial for a battery powered, hand-held blower. A woman is using one to push herself across a swimming pool in an exact straight line.
If the FCC shut down every false commercial, there would be none aired.

Speaking of AI generated ads, have a look at this log splitter pump ad from TEMU. I've never seen a log split that way!

I think using that pressure washer nozzle, would be like trying to wash your car with a Water Pik.

I bought one from a charity shop , virtually unused , still with stickers on . It cost me $5. Aus.
I had seen similar wild claims , certainly didn't believe them . I wanted it because it had a long lance , a decent lever shut off valve and a brass fan spray head which I now use to blast leaves out of rainwater guttering when connected to a high pressure water pump . It saves me bending over on the roof and gives greater reach from the ladder .
The pressure developed when on the town water garden hose is only good for sprinkling the vegetables and rose beds , certainly nothing like a pressure washer .

I assume all advertising is a lie. Nothing works as advertised.

I haven't seen that ad, but I have seen claims of unrealistic horsepower ratings that are probably not possible. 212cc engines that produce 7.5 hp? 301cc engines making 10hp? I don't think so. I suspect the oversight of that type of advertising is no longer being enforced.
