Looking at the rather cheesy video:

it seems to be an app that tells you what settings to use for what task and
sets them for you. So you select 'I'm cleaning a patio' and it configures
it for you.

Nothing you couldn't do with the instruction book and pressing the buttons
on the tool, but I suppose at the domestic end of the spectrum you might get
the pressure washer out once a month and forget what it needs. And the
instruction book is also not a great thing to have around in a wet
environment (whereas many phones are waterproof these days).

It probably adds $2 to the BOM to add the Bluetooth and the rest is
software. I don't think I'd pay much for the feature, but then I wouldn't
pay for a pressure washer in the first place.
