AMPLIFI Review and Giveaway.

by |

 This past week we received the AMPLIFI Hose Powering System in the mail to review.
What is it? 
AMPLIFI is a first-of-its-kind hose powering and storage system by Briggs & Stratton. The AMPLIFI powered settings provide 3x the pressure, 4.5x the force and 2x the flow of a regular garden hose. It features an electric motor and pump, a five-setting spray nozzle with Detergent-on-Demand™ capability and an attractive, durable hose storage container. AMPLIFI is an always-ready solution for everyday and spur-of-the moment cleaning and watering tasks with no set-up time.
So I gave it a go.

OK, so I hammed it up a little for the camera but in all honesty I was quite surprised by the amount of punch this little sprayer packed.
First, I tackled the sidewalk cracks and all sorts of gross gunk came out of them.
 Next my husband sprayed the neighborhood kids.
 Then we watered the jungle of scrub oak in the front yard.
 Then my son washed the car.
Then the Mr. sprayed off a whole bunch of other things including the house eaves, the trampoline, the windows, his car, me (then the fun was over).

  4. Oh this is awesome! I have always wanted something stronger than the jet setting on my regular hose sprayer. Wish I’m the winner!

  5. We just bought a home and I was thinking about how much I need one of these! So cool! Thanks for the giveaway.

  6. I’d use it to clean our back patio. We love our dog but I do not love the mud she tracks onto the patio all winter.

  7. Our sidewalk and driveway need some deep cleaning action and it looks like this system would do the trick! Next we would spray out the garage, the porch, clean the car, and water the garden. So many things this is useful for. Thanks for offering the giveaway!

  9. I would definitely use it for our garage, porch, and sidewalk. It would change what our neighbors think of us for sure! 🙂

  10. I would use this on my front walkway and my backyard interlocking.

  13. Love this giveaway! I would give it to my husband to clean off the porch, sidewalk, doors, windows…wow, I already have a list for him! 😉 Actually looks easy to use and suprisingly FUN. Thanks for the giveaway

  14. This would be great to use in cleaning our waterfall/pond that is round 45 ft in diameter and holds close to 5,000 gallons of water. The rocks that surround the inside of pond become ugly with algae. I have to let water evaporate really low so I can go inside of pond to clean algae from the top portion of rocks and hope fish in pond will not die while going thru cleaning process(low water). This would provide us with healthy fish and a great looking pond. debthong7

  17. I would gift it to my dad! I’m having a fence built in his backyard–so the pressure washer would be great to keep not only his siding looking great but the fence looking good too! I know a deck or porch is in the near future too.

  20. It would replace the clunky pressure washer I have now. It’s so difficult to set-up, it never gives me the power spray that I want, it leaks like crazy and I end up with more water on me than on my target project.

    If the AMPLIFI does as well as the video shows, it would be a valuable tool to own, and it looks like it would make fun out of those everyday tasks! Thanks for the opportunity!

  22. I would use AMPLIFI to help clean the Virginia red clay off my concrete sidewalk and front porch that my dog, kids, and their friends are always tracking on it.

    Thanks for the opportunity!

  23. I’d use it to get water down into the dregs of the compost heap. And to power wash everything in sight!

  28. would love the AMPLIFI for my light colored siding and my second story flower boxes!

  29. How long a list do you want?! I would spray the weeds out of my paver driveway, clean my front porch and back deck from the pollen that seems like it’s there permanently, I’d use the pressure to try to find the leak in my truck’s trunk, then we’d take it to the lake to powerclean the deck and the dock and the boat… and that’s just this week!

  30. I would love one of these. I would wash our sidewalk and house to high heaven. They are looking dingy and this would really help!

  32. We have pavers in our backyard that need cleaned!! I bet this little gadget would get it done! The previous owners painted the front pourch some awful green and black. I’ve scrapped most of it off but really need some power behind it! 🙂

  33. The exterior of our house could constantly use a scrubbing. The neighborhood kids could also…just sayin’ 😉

  34. My house is currently looking rather green (love the algae/moss that grows in the shade), so I’d use it to clean the whole house!

  36. I have a long list of dirty spots around the house that could use a dose of high powered cleaning. I’d start with the porches. Great giveaway!

  37. I posted something on my facebook page about this giveaway and I “liked” the company on FB as well!

    Our HOA requires us to use white vinyl fencing and we would use this to clean it! There are sooo many more uses for this!

  38. I’ve never seen this product before, but it looks great! I would use it to clean my porches and the outsides of my windows.

  39. We just paid a small fortune to have our house repainted, so I’d use this nifty device to keep it looking as clean as a 1930s house can. And maybe it could help me reach those 2nd floor windows without need for a ladder? Plus the patio, sidewalks, screened in porch, car… I’m pretty sure I’d become heady with power and wield this thing mercilessly!

  44. Useful, handy little gizmo…I’d use it on all sorts of outdoor applications, as you did. Especially on the high eaves of our home. There are lots of webs accumulating up there!

  45. My dream has always been to own a home with porches! I now live in that home but frequently need to clean those porches top to bottom. This would be such a help! I know I would keep going — cars, sidewalks, driveway (yuck!), dog???, garden, fence, etc

  49. Here in GA the streets run yellow w/ pollen! This would really improve our deck, porch and house each spring.

  54. Omg, I really want one. It would be perfect to hose down all the years of crazy LA smog/udst build up on the exterior walls of my house. it’s also time to clean the windows!

  57. I would wash the outside of my house. It is in serious need of a good cleaning!

  58. Front yard water park! YAY! OK, ok I’d probably use it to clean all the interlocking nightmare I have going around the entire house….Geez, I’d even blog about it 🙂

  61. I would use this to clean my driveway, sidewalk, porch, water my bushes and wash my car! Seems like a pretty easy tool to use.

  63. This may make me sound bad but I literally have too many projects to name. The list is too long. I need this in my life!

  64. Great review, I wasn’t familiar with this product. I would use it to clean our patio and sidewalk and I’m sure I would find several other uses for it…sounds like a great tool

  65. Everything. But most urgently the brick on the lower part of my house. The red almost looks tan from all the dust. ‘nough said.

  68. Wow! What WOULDN”T I use it for? I’d start with the siding on my house and try it to clean gunk out of the rain gutters! Pick me, pick me!!

  69. I would use it to do some serious house washing, got to get it ready for new paint.

  74. This would rock! I would use it to wash our cars, clean the patio, the deck, the front of our porch (gets nasty with spider webs and gunk), the garage door, the siding…I’m sure I could think of 20 more things 🙂

  78. I would clean my brick patio, vechiles, and wouldn’t have to beg my husband to use the hard to run power washer!!!

  79. I would (well, my husband probably) would use it on our back deck. Our dogs trudge up a bunch of junk up there: dirt, dog hair, etc and this would really help keep the deck looking clean and fresh.

    🙂

  87. This looks nice! I would use it for the porches and sidewalk/driveway to remove all the gross pollen that comes with living in the south.

  88. Also, I like it on FB, shared it on FB, and will do a blog post about the giveaway, linking back to your site.

  89. I would use this for cleaning our driveway, cars and home exterior.

    I love how that it is not bulky. I could probably store this on a shelf.

  96. I want one for my husband’s birthday! He would have so much fun with it – washing vehicels, porches, watering plants, and the list goes on…

  99. I would love to use this on my front and back porch. It would be a great mother’s day gift for me.

  100. I’d use it to wash a baby changing table that I’m refinishing…I believe it used to house chickens so it need quite a scrub!

  102. I would love to use it to help my parents power wash their wrap around porch on their 1850’s farm plus clean off all the porch furniture that has been stored in the barn all winter. Would make the chore a breeze!

  104. Living in a very wooded area is beautiful but there are constant bugs and cobwebs and debris around our house. My husband works hard at cleaning the porch as much as possible, but the house always looks bug infested. It would be great to be able to help with the cleaning of the porch, windows and panes, and perhaps our home could look completely clean. I would also use it wash the patio table, as it is constantly covered with pollen and spider webs. This would be an awesome tool to have!

  109. I would give this to my Mom for mother’s day but first I would help her clean her crazy tall windows with it!

  111. The exterior of my house is so dirty it is embarrassing. I am afraid to use a normal pressure washer because I am afraid it will take the old paint off my house and I will be forced into starting that project.

  112. Oh this would be a great fathers day gift! My hubby would use it to clean the cars, wash off the driveway, clean the pondless waterfall he built in the front yard… So many possibilities!

  118. spiderwebs and wasp nests under the eaves, lawn furniture, the floor of the garage, the exterior of the house, the driveway, the garden, the recycling and garbage bins …

  119. I would clean off my patio. It could really use a cleaning, but I don’t have the right tools!! cutekate130 @ gmail.com

  133. Ooh I’d have so much fun! If I had a house with wood siding I’d clean that, so the side walks, the patio and the car would get baths for starters.

  142. We have seriously low water pressure at our home so this looks like heaven to me! I’ ve got my eye on cleaning our decks and hard to reach windows and that’s just the beginning!

  144. i would use that baby to hammer every nook and cranny outside of the
    house…

  146. We have a well and low water pressure. This thing would be AWESOME!! I would spray the heck out of everything I could reach!

  147. best giveaway ever! i (well ok my husband) would spray the porch, and the driveway, the eaves, the deck, the cars, just about anything and everything!!!

  149. This is just what I need to clean my blinds! I found a way to do it with a pressure washer but don’t have one so this would be perfect for it. And then I would use it for the house and driveway and deck and the list never ends 😉

  150. Wow! Looks like a great product! I would use it for clean-up around the pool, spraying plants in containers, cleaning the driveway and walkways… wash the house – I’d be busy! Thanks for the chance!

  151. My Hubby would love this. We’ve got that gook in out pavements as well, and we want it gone. Then we would spray the neighborhood kids in hopes that they’ll move… HA! 🙂

  153. I would use it to clean the siding, porch, sidewalk, driveway and the car.. and occasionally spray the kiddos with it. 🙂 Would love to win it.

  162. I would absolutely LOVE one of these cool nifty power hoses!!! I would use it to spray everything…children, yard, the brick on our new house, and the wonderful “poo” that my Pug Dog leaves on my backyard patio every morning. Man, would I rock if I scored this for my hubby for Father’s Day!! 🙂

  166. I’d like to use it to wash my deck, swingset and the dirty siding that needs some power washing!

  176. how fun! as you said, i’d love to give this to my hubby for father’s day. we’d use it to spray down the backyard hardscape, our loooong driveway, the kids (we have four!) and so many other things.

  182. I would use this to clean the algae off the underside of my patio table. Also to clean the siding.

  187. I would be ready to wash the monsoon dust off the driveway, clean the pool deck, wash off the mud the dog tracks on the patio and maybe squirt the dog! She likes it!

  189. Oh man — that thing could be addicting!!! I can only imagine all the stuff I’d clean!! Great giveaway, thanks for the chance!

    (and love your yellow bar cart!)

  196. i’d totally use it to clean the windows that I can not easily reach or spray at. there are bird poop that the rain cannot wash off.

  198. I love this thing! I would use it to was the car, water the plants, and spray off my house after a rainy winter!!

  199. I would use it to wash the deck, clean the sidewalks, spray out the rain gutters…a never ending honeydo list is well underway!

  200. Our driveway needs some super cleaning attention, moving on we would spray out the garage, the deck…love it!

  202. Having three boys as well, I could probably find something they’ve mucked up with dirt and mud every.single.day.

  207. I would love this to power wash our new Tucson house! I’m so not used to stucco and ours could certainly use a good spray!

  221. What wouldn’t I use it for?? Mostly to get rid of those nasty spiderwebs around our garage and patio that I can’t reach!
    Thanks!
    Molly

  223. I would LOVE to spray down my driveway and the goop that has accumulated under one of my outside windows.

  226. I would love to give this to my awesome Dad for Father’s Day! He’s been on a gardening kick and I think it’s just the perfect gift!!

  227. Those hard to reach and even harder to clean windows, shutters and onings on the second level, the dingy hubcaps on my car, garage door…how many things can I list?

  228. I’d use this awesom outdoor tool immediately to clean my siding, windows, deck, and outdoor woven funiture. Continued usage for the sidewalk cleaning, landscape watering, and car cleaning would make this tool one that rivals the lawnmower and edger in terms of usefulness and usage frequency. It’s a great looking hose container, as well 🙂 !

It is nice to meet you!
