Five convenient high-pressure washers with drum and wheels

Glory to the Swedish brand Stiga brought lawn mowers. However, he does not focus solely on them and produces many more useful products for caring for a personal plot. Like the Stiga HPS 235 R pressure washer, for example.

The model arouses interest in one's own person for a number of reasons. Firstly, it captivates with developed ergonomics. For ease of transportation, the sink was equipped with large wheels and a grippy handle; it was also equipped with a drum with a swivel handle for winding a 6-meter high-pressure hose. And secondly, the sink is characterized by high labor productivity.

At maximum speed of an asynchronous electric motor with a power of 1800 W , the sink produces a water jet under pressure up to 135 bar, providing pumping up to 440 liters of water masses in 1 hour. You can’t imagine impossible tasks for the Stiga HPS 235 R during the day with fire - the model shows excellent efficiency when washing cars, garden and garage equipment, cleaning walls and sidewalks from stubborn dirt.

With the help of washing, stubborn dirt can be overcome with a steam nozzle with a foam gun with a volume of 400 ml. Two washing nozzles are attached to the load of the model, which live in the grooves directly on the body of the washing unit. To complete the picture, it is worth mentioning the possibility of supplying heated water masses (with a temperature of up to 50 ° C) and the presence of the Total stop system auto-off after 30 seconds. inaction. A sink will serve as a good acquisition for a personal plot for an adequate cost.

Husqvarna PW 325 is a compact hobby pressure washer. The model will fit country-style households for caring for the territory of a personal plot, keeping garden furniture, all kinds of equipment, bicycles and cars clean.

The electric motor of the washing unit with a power of 1.8 kW ensures the productivity of the metal pump in the volume from 350 to 520 liters of water per hour. At its peak, the pump produces a pressure of about 135 bar from the spray nozzle. The working pressure indicators for it are considered to be 95-105 bar.

The sink “produces” water both from a centralized water supply system and from a separate container (whether it be a large bucket or a barrel). The supply of water to the gun is established through a flexible hose of 8 meters in length with a textile braid. So that the hose does not get under your feet, the Husqvarna PW 325 design has a drum for winding its excess.

Nozzles are attached to the tip of the "tail" of the gun using the Quick Connect system. Out of the box, the model comes with a flat jet nozzle, a rotor nozzle and a non-adjustable foam atomizer. At first, this fraternity will satisfy the lion's share of the user's needs. Finally, the sink has a built-in storage for accessories and is on wheels for easy transport by hand around the grounds.

Along with power tools, the Japanese company Makita is engaged in the production of pressure washers. One of those with the name HW1300 will come in handy in household needs.

At the heart of the unit is a 1800-watt collector-type engine. Under his leadership, a productive pump works "by the sweat of his brow". In an hour, up to 420 liters of water under pressure up to 130 bar are driven through it. The self-priming pump in the design of the minisink allows standing water to be used. In the mode of water intake from tanks, it is necessary to install a coarse filter at the sink inlet.

The power of the water jet is adjusted by rotating the "head" of the standard nozzle. The operating modes of 80 and 110 bar are available to the user. In addition, the trigger gun can take on board a specialized foam nozzle - the adoption of bath procedures with shampoo allows you to achieve sparkling cleanliness without unnecessary gestures.

The spray gun, complete nozzles and even a high-pressure hose of increased length (10 m) “live” right in the sink body(in separate niches and on the drum, respectively). Moreover, the device weighs only 12.7 kg, and for the convenience of its transportation, a pair of plastic wheels is provided. Summing up, the conclusion suggests itself that in the category of "strong middle class" Makita HW1300 occupies one of the leading roles.

The number "160" in the name of the sink from the Bosch Advanced Aquatak series appears for good reason - it expresses the maximum outlet water pressure in bars. Such a powerful jet will wash away even the most persistent dirt, and if not, a special nozzle for applying foam will come to the rescue.

The practicality of the model is emphasized by a metal telescopic handle, a drum for winding a high-pressure hose with a comfortable handle, and parking slots for a spray gun. The unit moves using a pair of transport wheels as support points. Without them, the 23.4-kilogram "carcass" of the Bosch Advanced Aquatak 160 would be considered heavy.

The pace of the sink is set by a powerful 2600-watt electric motor coupled with a self-priming pump. The productivity of water passing through the pump blades reaches 9.5 l / min. (570 l/h). In addition, the unit is able to operate with heated water masses to improve the effectiveness of wet cleaning (not more than 40 ° C).

Depending on the tasks set, the mini-wash operator has the right to resort to the services of fan and rotary nozzles, as well as the aforementioned foam tank. In addition to the model, you can buy a practical nozzle "360 °" with flexible adjustment of the direction of the water jet. Together with an 8-meter long high-pressure hose, it will be possible to get to the most inaccessible places and tear them out, as they say, to a shine.

In the premium segment of high-pressure washers for domestic purposes, products of the German brand Karcher unconditionally rule. The best proof of this is the K 5 Premium Full Control Plus.

The washing unit is notable for the flexible variability of setting the pressure of the water jet: in the widest range from 20 to 145 bar. Moreover, this action is turned without special “dancing with a tambourine” - the pressure adjustment buttons are placed on the handle of the spray gun. There is also an informative LCD screen that serves to display the key operating parameters of the miniwash.

The protagonists of the Karcher K 5 Premium Full Control Plus are a 2100 W electric motor coupled with an aluminium pump, whose labor productivity is estimated by the possibility of pumping up to 500 liters of water in 1 hour. Also included in the design of the model is a built-in drum for winding an 8-meter high-pressure hose, a telescopic handle, transport wheels and niches for storing related accessories.

In the Full Control Plus package, the sink equipment includes a functional 3-in-1 Multi Jet nozzle. By slightly rotating the tip of the nozzle, the type of jet at the outlet of the spray gun nozzle is selected - fan, rotary or chemical supply. In addition, the Quick Connect high-pressure hose fastening system was implemented on board the device, which saves time, effort and nerves of the mini-wash operator. The model is, frankly, not cheap, but take my word for it that it will work out every penny spent in full.
