For me, they sound great in theory but I worry about them making an absolute mess by shooting water everywhere if I don’t use it exactly right (I have a hard time imagining it being effective without sufficient pressure to be potentially messy). I also don’t expect cold water on the undercarriage to be pleasant. Based on what I’ve heard, I’d guess it isn’t hard at all to learn to use one and get used to the cold blast but, not having used one personally, I’m not confident that the payoff is worth the hassle of researching, purchasing, and installing one (which would require far more time than 20 minutes—I guess 2 hours absolute minimum if nothing goes wrong).
I’m sure my skepticism isn’t especially rational, but it may be useful as a representative perspective of those who haven’t tried one or thought about it too much. I have actually considered getting one before but my laziness and lack of plumbing skills are a significant barrier even if my trepidations were assuaged.
