Is this machine works on roof?

I would not use it on a shingle roof unless you turn the pressure way down and then it may not be effective. If you're removing mold or algae, try bleach and water (50/50 mix with a pump sprayer). The machine is fantastic on flat surfaces!

The surface washer unit is fairly light so you should be able to use it on a roof, but you will need someone to help in controlling the weight of the supply hose. If you as re on a roof with a pitch you need a safety harness.

If you can get a pressure washer machine, hoses, water, etc. up on the roof, (I assume you are talking a metal roof that is smooth and flat), I see no reason why it would not operate as intended.

I would NOT recommend using on a roof at all, regardless of the roofing material. Best used on concrete surfaces; driveways, walkways, pavers, etc.

I've never used it on my roof, but it's not good on sidewalks as it ruins the patio blocks! I do not recommend this product!

Firstly, I love this machine. Bailed me out of many feet of both wet and light snow. Yes it propels itself as the rubber blade rotates and, in making contact with the concrete, pulls the machine forward. Good for blacktop and concrete, NOT for gravel as the height is not adjustable. It's meant to be propelled by the blade contacting the ground and gravel would chew the mechanism up and spit the rocks out. Hope it helps.

no, you must drill a hole in the roof, very easy, follow directions on box, installation takes 2 hours. piece of cake. WORKS GREAT!!!!

Yes. I have a section of deck that gets no rain due to overhang of roof. I spray it now and then with a garden hose and it works!

I am not sure. Depends on how much snow and how solid your panels are. This device works on a gravity principle, so for areas of your roof without panels am sure it will work great and save you tons of time. . .but, due to the variety of solar panels, tensile strength of materials. . .I would be careful testing it.

All I did was clean the roof (flat rolled roofing) with a leaf blower. I have not had any problems over the last few years.

We put ours on our garage roof. However, we cannot find a strong enough pump. It says it needs a 1HP pump.

No, however we did scrub the roof well before applying. We used a roller and it went on amazingly well!

Yes! Indoors or outdoors. I have one on my roof, exposed to all kinds of weather. Only the cobwebs are a problem.

It is most likely going to be too bulky and risky to carry this up onto a roof, so "as is", no it does not. There might be a gutter cleaning attachment available, but I haven't looked into it. If there is one, then it would probably do a decent job as long as your downspouts aren't clogged too badly.

as long as you have it secured properly it will work fine. The key is securing it to the roof top.

Probably not- you'd have to be very careful because it's made of plastic and is very heavy when filled with water. Plus your pump would have to work extra hard to pump water up to it on your roof.

Not as is, if you fabricated some sort of base plate for it it might work but it's designed to tighten in between a floor and a roof.

I think for light chores should be ok, the one I used on was St Augustine grass, front lawn and side lawn, a corner lot house, the machine was easy to move around, not heavy duty but did the work, but the tines worn out too fast. If you return the machine, postage would be around $40.00 if I remember correctly, because the box was big and heavy. Maybe to spray or brush with some killer or hot water or steam may help with the situation?

I've never tried to do our roof (good idea though!). It might reach but not with any power behind it. What I mean is, I doubt it would "scrub" the roof...probably do no more than a good rain would. If were at all breezy it probably wouldn't work for a roof at all. So, to summize, I would say no, while standing on the ground, it wouldn't be ideal for a roof on a one story house. Hope this helps.

yes, but mostly to install penetrations into the roof. like the vent for the black water(toilet) or a nick in the rubber roof. this stuff is self leveling, fills in where you put it, so only put it on the top.
