Spending money to make money is a reality in PowerWash Simulator. But only a few purchases really give the player the reward for their investment.

With only four equipment purchases per washing machine PowerWash simulator, players, especially completists, may be tempted to buy them all. That would be a bad move, even and especially for players who want to eventually buy everything.

While all equipment adds some functionality to the pressure washer, some don’t add what they cost. If players spend $100 on something, they should expect $100 of efficiency. This guide will indicate which two pieces pass through this bar in PowerWash simulator and which two do not.

GAMERANT VIDEO OF THE DAY

long extension

In the beginning, the most important thing to do is to save money to change pressure washers. Getting to the next level of pressure washer is much more important than investing in your current one. The long extension makes reaching this mark much faster.

Every second without washing is a second wasted. Reaching third floor roofs and windows is possible with the long span, saving players the tiring journey of taking a ladder and climbing the stairs to reach these high points.

Turbo Nozzle

The turbo nozzle makes quick circles using the highest pressure setting. This has the effect of giving the washer a width rather than a mere point, thus speeding up the process of cleaning stains like paint and concrete.

It should be mentioned that this brings much more benefit to gamers who use a controller than a keyboard. The purchase is still fine for a PC gamer, but those on consoles should consider this a higher priority. This is an economical purchase as the turbo nozzle is not expensive.

Why avoid the short extension or the soap nozzle?

A word to the finalists: it’s better to buy the best pressure washer and work backwards than to buy all the lower power washer extensions first. The extra money potentially received from the short extension or soap nozzles is not enough.

The soap nozzle requires soap. Refilling soap is expensive and should only be considered after you’ve exhausted the best washing machine. The short extension plays like a worse long extension. Point-blank functionality is hardly a benefit; at this point, players shouldn’t be using an extension.


PowerWash simulator is now available for PC, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.
