With only four equipment purchases per power washer in PowerWash Simulator, players, especially completionists, might be tempted to just buy them all. That would be a bad move, even and especially for players who want to eventually buy out everything.
While all equipment adds some functionality to the power washer, some do not add what they cost. If players spend $100 on something, they should expect $100 of efficiency. This guide will state which two pieces pass this bar in PowerWash Simulator and which two do not.
Long Extension
Early on, the most important thing to do is save up the cash to change power washers. Getting to the next tier of power washer is far more important than investing in the current one. The long extension makes getting to this mark much faster.
Every second not washing is a second wasted. Reaching rooftops and third-story windows is possible with the long extension, saving gamers the tiring trip of getting a ladder and walking upstairs to reach these high-up spots.
Turbo Nozzle
The turbo nozzle makes rapid circles using the highest pressure setting. This has the effect of giving the power washer a width instead of a mere pinpoint, thus speeding up the process of cleaning off stains like paint and concrete.
It should be mentioned that this has far more benefit to gamers using a controller than a keyboard. The purchase is still good for a PC gamer, but those on consoles should consider this a higher priority. This is a cost-efficient buy as the turbo nozzle isn't expensive.
Why Avoid The Short Extension Or The Soap Nozzle?
A word to completionists: It is better to buy the best power washer and work backward than it is to buy all the extensions on the lesser power washers first. The extra cash 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 maxing out the best washer. The short extension plays like a worse long extension. The functionality at point-blank range is hardly a benefit; at this point, players shouldn't be using an extension at all.
PowerWash Simulator is available now for PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
