The listings show two main categories: portable pressure-cleaning machines (pressure washers) with PSI and nozzle specifications, and spray-activated dish-cleaning products sold as starter sprays or refill bottles.

Reported maximum pressures range from about 320 PSI for a lightweight portable unit up to 1,800 PSI for a corded electric model; an intermediate cordless unit is listed around 800 PSI.

Some portable cleaners are battery-powered with listed voltages (for example, 20V and 40V), while at least one pressure washer is a corded electric model that does not use a battery.

Portable cleaners include multi-setting nozzles and selectable pressure options. Examples shown are a 5-in-1 multi-spray nozzle (0°, 15°, 25°, 40° and rinse/watering), models with five pressure settings, and nozzle kits that include 15° and turbo tips plus a 65° option.

Battery-powered handheld cleaners shown are lightweight (examples list weights of about 4.0–4.37 pounds) and include quick-connect hoses roughly 20 feet long for drawing water from nearby sources.

Many portable units include a quick-connect suction/draw hose so they can pull water from nearby sources like pools, ponds, buckets or lakes; some also list adapters or connectors for bottles and garden hoses.
