DEWALT DCPW550P1 Power Cleaner, Yellow/Black

Product Information

The tank measures 37 x 46.5 x 43.5 cm and all together with the gun and hose the weight is 7.9kg. When it comes to storage, the other parts of the pressure washer fit nicely into the water tank which is a good space saving feature and it looks pretty good too: While this is the most powerful cordless pressure washer out there behind the Dewalt, in the high power mode setting it produces 20 bar which is enough to clean the dirt of bikes and light jobs like that. Let’s be honest, you don’t really buy a cordless pressure washer for power, you buy one because you need the freedom of movement and convenience it gives you. When you compare it to the Yard Force after all these years I have to say I still prefer this. Another option to consider is ‘interchangeable batteries’. Several brands, like WORX, have products that work on compatible batteries. This means you can use the same battery in your drill and your cordless pressure washer. The range of pressure washers is broad and prices vary widely. While models with a hose connection and low power can be had for low three-figure sums, consumers should plan on a mid-three-figure investment when purchasing a powerful cordless pressure washer with a large water tank. When purchasing a battery-powered pressure washer, buyers should expect the following costs: My biggest gripe with this Bosch cordless pressure washer is that the hose is only 4 metres long. That means you have to move the water tank around with you even if you are not going that far. It’s not a huge problem because, as mentioned, the tank has wheels to get around on, but I still found it a little annoying. Bosch Fontus Cordless Outdoor Cleaner Review

You can also get a higher PSI output for the same running time at full power with the two batteries over the one. So although it doesn’t run for longer, you get more power.

Washing the car, cleaning your patio or blasting mud from your bike? The best pressure washers make the job quick and easy

Entry-level cleaners are those with a maximum of 100 bar of pressure. These models are good for cleaning small items such as bicycles and garden furniture.

The nozzle has one spray pattern, whereas other machines have a variety of jets, so it’s not all that versatile. 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 nozzlesOf 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. Charge time for the battery is around 100-110 minutes and a full charge will see you cleaning away for about 50-60 minutes, which is actually very good. Combination nozzle– as an alternative to the previously mentioned nozzle types, cordless high-pressure cleaners can be equipped with a combination nozzle. This has an individually adjustable nozzle and can be used both as a spot-jet and flat-jet nozzle. With most models, the desired mode can be set by turning the nozzle head. 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. Noise: In terms of noise, I was looking for pressure washers that were sufficiently powerful yet remained quiet so they wouldn’t annoy the neighbours! Any models producing 80 dB of noise or less were marked higher, whereas excessively noisy models of 90 dB or above were marked down.

If you want something that will clean all your patio furniture, I’d look for another that uses an external water source. The WG630E cordless pressure washer comes with a 5 in one nozzle, so you can choose what kind of spray you want by simply twisting the nozzle head. The lightest setting is a mist that would be great for bathing the dog (not to mention blasting out the dog kennel), and the highest powered setting is good for blasting dirt off cars without risking damaging the paint job. The Norse SK25i comes with a 2 year warranty, lances, and a nozzle for different pressure spray setting, and it comes with a battery and charge (plus some pressure washer detergent as a bonus) which is pretty nice actually considering it’s essentially a budget tool – after all, those don’t sound like the traits of a budget cordless pressure washer do they?There are three settings – you’ll notice above there in the car cleaning pictures I am using the most concentrated and powerful setting. The other two setting are more gentle. One is larger droplets that is ideal to clean off your pets:

It should be said that if you are looking to use a pressure washer for the best part of a day or have multiple cars to clean then an electric pressure washer will be a better option. The fact that you sometimes need to stop to let the battery cool down is also a bit of a nuisance, it makes jobs take longer and you have to remember to keep an eye on it.

Let’s look at the best cordless pressure washer

If your pressure washer’s cable is too short, you can use an extension lead, but it’s essential to opt for one that offers a suitable amperage (13 amps minimum) and is designed for outdoor use. Water and electricity aren’t the best of bedfellows. How dangerous are pressure washers?
