Not all of the best cordless pressure washers are as easy to transport as others. Most models are great for using around the house, but if you want to take them camping, or store them in the car, there are a couple of useful features to look out for. Too little pressure and the job takes hours, too much pressure and you can damage paintwork and pointing. Pressure is all-important when you’re trying to choose the best portable pressure washer for your needs.

When keeping items in the car boot for a long time, it’s easy for them to roll around and for small parts to get lost in the melee. Even though the patio cleaning attachment wasn’t the best quality, it was a handy thing to have included in the set. Cleaning off a patio or garden wall took a lot less time, even if it didn’t have as much blasting power. Some people say that the true cost of owning a house is having to look after the garden. For a lot of people, cleaning off a dirty patio or manky garden furniture is a job that’s either left to the professionals or forgotten about entirely. And that’s because doing it by hand is a painful and thankless task! Scrubbing down a sooty garden wall is no one’s idea of fun, after all. At 155 bar this is still powerful and great for heavy-duty tasks, however, it is important to note that it is not 262 bar of continuous pressure. Pros & Cons of the Wilks-USA RX550i With a small and portable build, this pressure washer can be wheeled around your car for effective cleaning from any angle. It weighs just 7.2 kg so can be lifted if needed, but it also has wheels to improve portability.If you want something that you can keep in your car, I’d say the best cordless pressure washer will have a built-in water tank . This means the washer unit is self-contained and ready to go. Alternatively, other cordless pressure washers will draw water from exterior water sources, like bottles of water, which is still immensely useful. Firstly, you should look at the PSI or the BAR pressure of the high pressure washer you are thinking of buying. Anything 100 BAR or 1450 PSI and under would only be suitable for cleaning bins, tools, push bikes or garden furniture as this wouldn’t be enough pressure to efficiently clean anything more ground-on. With a maximum pressure of 135 bar, but working at 90 bar, and a flow rate of 330litres per hour, it would be hard to think of a home cleaning project that this electric pressure washer couldn’t handle. Compact, inexpensive, but still powerful, this 1600W electric pressure washer can proudly stand up on our podium with the big boys, and its lightweight design makes it accessible to everyone. The trolley design of the Wilks-USA RX545 makes it easy to move around your garden and driveway. Weighing only 11 kg, it’s a distinctly lightweight unit that can be easily lifted and transported. In fact, of all the pressure washers I’ve used, this is one of the lightest – particularly for a unit this powerful.

This Wilks-USA RX545 is located directly in the middle of the Wilks range. The pressure washer not only provides everything in terms of ability, providing sufficient power and flow rate for average household and garden needs, but also benefits from the reduced weight and the compact size which cannot be said for certain models which are higher up in the range. 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.This is not high-powered machine and it doesn’t claim to clean your patio. I think this cordless power washer is pretty good for its claims but removing dried mud and bird mess took a lot of soaking and the water ran out.

With this pressure washer accessories include a lance, gutter lance, 5 x varying nozzles, turbo wand, fixed brush, rotary brush and patio cleaner. Features 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.

The Wilks-USA RX545 is a beast of a pressure washer and is our top choice for this list. From its 2400W electric motor its produces 3050psi or 210 bar making it comparable to a petrol pressure washer. The quality of the wands is fine for DIYers. I’ve seen a higher quality gun and slightly better fittings on professional level pressure washers, but they cost a lot more that what you’re paying here. The threads on some of the wands take a bit of starting to connect, but once they’re on they hold nice and tight.

Like most I’ve had a karcher in the past and in a short space of time the nozzles stop working correctly and the motor gives up.

CAN A PRESSURE WASHER GET WET?What makes this one of the best pressure washers available right now, in my opinion, is the big motor. It reaches seriously high pressures, which is good for at least two reasons. The first, is that it can blast off even the most stubborn mould, dirt, and gunk. The second is that this power means you can still get excellent cleaning power at the end of 26 metres of hose. To give you a bit of assistance, we have covered the main things that you need to know before making that final decision on your own electric pressure washer. Motor size What is undoubtedly the best thing about this pressure washer is the impressive range of accessories that come with it. You get six different types of wand and five different nozzles that produce a range of spray types for whatever job you’ve got in front of you.
