I picked up one today, filled it with the detergent and had
a mess on my hands (literally). The flimsy cover for the
detergent reservoir didn't prevent spillage of the expensive
and messy concentrated detergent. I returned it to the
store for a refund, after first ascertaining that another
unit suffered from the same problem.

I know the thing will leave a spotless finish, but after
buying the unit, extra detergent and deionizer cartridge, I
expect more quality for my money and less hassle from it's
usage. I'll stick to conventional methods of wet, soap,
rinse, towel dry. With my luck, I'd most likely drop the
thing on the driveway and watch it burst into 500 pieces.
Maybe Mr. Clean Auto Dry is a solution looking for a problem.

If you have smallish hands, the handle will be
uncomfortable. I wear extra large gloves, so for me it's
not an issue, but folks with small to medium sized hands
should give Auto Dry a "test drive" before wasting their money.

BTW, they suggest you wash in the shade, and don't use any
detergent but their super expensive concoction. AND you
will not get much water flow when you use the deionized
water for rinsing. If you are short and have a tall vehicle
like a van or SUV, forget about getting the wimpy stream to
reach the roof unless you are standing on a ladder.
