DEWALT DCPW550P1 Power Cleaner, Yellow/Black

Product Information

This washer provides a maximum pressure output of 135 bar, and a continuous working pressure of 90 bar, powered by a 1800 W motor. It will clean mould, moss, fences, patios and cars.

One feature that makes this pressure washer a lot more versatile is its ability to draw water from a standing source as well as a tap. This can come in exceptionally handy if you don’t have a tap near your driveway (although you will still need access to a mains power source).Flat jet nozzle– this nozzle has a gentler, flatter jet with an angle of around 60 degrees. The user can often adjust the angle. In favour of a larger area output, flat-jet nozzles lose some of the working pressure. They are suitable for cleaning large surfaces – for example, floor tiles, tiles or window panes.

In addition to the length of the hose, it is important to pay attention to the hose connection. With inexpensive models, the hose can only draw water from containers. With many high-quality models, it is possible to connect the hose to a water tap to ensure an uninterrupted water supply. The battery capacity Many cordless pressure washers work with a water pressure of 5 to 20 bar, which would be more accurate to call them “low-pressure cleaners”. By comparison, normal pressure washers often reach a water pressure of up to 100 bar. How does a cordless pressure washer work? It comes with a 10 m hose as well as an 8 m extension hose. These can connect together to create an 18 m hose in total – perfect for a range of jobs! Power & Performance: The main factors I tested for power and performance were each pressure washer’s bar pressure and motor type. Adjustable pressure settings are a must, so models with high, low, and “turbo” settings that range from 5 – over 100 bar pressure were rated the highest. I was also looking for models with brushless motors, as these are the best you can buy. Furthermore, I assessed each pressure washer’s flow rate and nozzle and spray patterns – washers with variable spray settings from 0 – 40 degrees were rated best, as these improved the versatility of the tool.There are 3 pressure settings and the spray gun has 4 spray patterns you can choose from. There is the most powerful pencil jet which you would use for things like dried up mud clumps, a 15 degree fan jet for getting into tighter areas, a 50 degree wide spray that is better for cleaning larger things like a bicycle or garage door, and a shower spray pattern that is perfect for giving your pets a bath. The 40V version of this power washer runs off of 2 lithium ion batteries rather than one and comes with a two battery charger.

Just like the other washers that don’t have a tank, this can be fed via the mains water or a barrel of fresh water – it’ll prime itself too so no need to fill up the washer or hose with water to get draw – they claim 8 seconds which really is good. They’re particularly useful for taking with you on the go – on camping trips or walks – and for cleaning cars and bikes without being tethered to mains power. Key specs – Size: 27 x 92 x 25cm (WHL); Weight: 8.3kg; Max pressure: 130 bar; Water flow rate: 420l/hr; Hose length: 5m; Cable length: 5m; Cleaning area: N/A; Motor power: 1,600WWhen buying a portable pressure washer, it is important to pay attention to which nozzles the device is equipped with. While inexpensive models usually only have a spot spray nozzle, pressure washers from the middle and upper price ranges are often equipped with 3-in-1 or 5-in-1 nozzles, which combine several types of nozzles. The most commonly used nozzles are: Not only does the Wilks-USA RX545i High Power Pressure Washer have the highest pressure output of all the pressure washers featured here, it also has the longest hose. It’s therefore a very powerful and versatile tool for cleaning around the home and garden. In our opinion, Worx has created a brilliant product with the Hydroshot and it brilliant for everyday use. As far as battery-powered pressure washers go this one is up there with one of the best. The K5 Premium Smart Control is a little bigger and more powerful than the K4, and comes with the bonus of a built-in, wind-up hose reel to keep its longer 10m high-pressure pipe under control. Yet the real advantage is its Smart Control system, comprising a new trigger gun with a built-in LCD panel and Bluetooth connectivity that hooks into a smartphone app. On its own, the trigger gun allows you to turn the pressure up and down, with six levels and a boost setting to deal with the most persistent grime. Meanwhile, Kärcher’s 3-in-1 multi jet lance can switch spray patterns, so that you can change from a wider spray to a focused, rotating jet within seconds.

There are special cleaning agents against limescale, moss or tyre marks. If you have to remove such dirt frequently, you can benefit from a battery-powered high-pressure cleaner with an integrated detergent tank. The spray nozzles The water tank of this Bosch model can hold 15 litres, and thankfully Bosch were wise enough to put a good set of plastic wheels on it, which really helps with those refill trips. I carried out a range of tests on some of the best portable pressure washers to determine any flaws in their design, power, performance, noise levels, safety, additional features, and overall value for money. I did the test, so you don’t have to. That way, you can make an informed decision on the best portable pressure washer for you without the hassle of trying them all out yourself. Of course, there is still quite a different between 1 kg and 4 kg, so bear in mind what jobs you’ll be doing and how long you’ll need to hold it for.With a team of Norwegian engineers behind its design, the Norse SK25i Portable Electric Pressure Washer is a very popular cordless pressure washer. There’s a lot to like about this pressure washer, let down only by its relatively poor battery life. First up on our list was one of the most innovative cordless pressure washers to come out in a while, the Worx Hydroshot WG630 cordless pressure washer. Remember: battery life only refers to the time when the washer is on. Washing the car might take a total of 30 minutes, but you may only sporadically use the power washer for 10 minutes of that time. This cordless pressure washer is powered by a 20V 4.0Ah ‘powershare’ battery, so if you already own another WORX product, you’ll be able to use the one from that. There are several accessories included: a high pressure hose, turbo nozzle (for extra stubborn dirt), high-pressure nozzle, lance and spray gun. It’s also possible to store all of the hoses and accessories inside the washer itself to make it easier to carry.
