high-pressure water jet machine

1) il mio cliente preferirebbe usare "cleaner" anziché "machine". Potrebbe andare?
2) si parla di idropultrici ad acqua fredda e ad acqua calda
In questo caso si potrebbe dire:

high-pressure cold/hot water jet machines?

Grazie per consulenza!!

agree  invguy: Oops... I guess I forgot to hit 'send' for this 'agree' :) Only one remark: 'high-pressure' and 'jet' come out synonimous here - so I'd skip either one, or the other.
