Some models are better suited to hosing down the bikes after going down a muddy trail, whilst others might be too powerful for this job. Equally, you might be keen to remove dried-on stains, in which case you’ll want a lot of power.

It doesn’t have quite as much reach as some others – the jet itself doesn’t stretch quite as far, and there’s no extension lance, so it’s not quite so good for long-range jobs. In particular, it feels heavier than others, possibly down to its basic, non-ergonomic design. For this reason, it’s not quite as good for jobs such as cleaning the windows. For delicate jobs, like cleaning a grubby dog, choose a bar pressure of less than 5 and a flow rate below 2 L/min. Of course, you should still test it on your hand first, but cordless pressure washers can be a great way to stop too much mud entering your car or house! Update: this was a faithful servant to me for three years and I have to say I want to leave it top. The Yard Force I have just bought is probably just as good as this but heavier and obviously after all this time I have gotten used to it. With that said, you really can’t go wrong. I used mine at least 3 times a week for 3 years before it finally gave up the ghost. I am well impressed with the battery considering.The dual battery charger also fully charged for us in 2 hours over the 5 hours of the single battery unit. The Greenworks GDC40 cordless pressure washer is built well and the plastic parts all feel robust enough to withstand a bump or two. 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.

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. Design: When testing the design of each pressure washer, I considered portability, whether they had a compact size that was easy to store, the hose and cord storage, whether there were handy features like a carry handle or strap, and whether they were built well, with sturdy construction and durable parts. Models that ranged from 30 to 45 cm in height, 30 to 45 cm in width, and 25 to 35 cm in depth were deemed the most suitable for everyday users, as this size made them far easier to store and carry around. Those with a sturdy handle, strap, or cord storage were also given higher marks. Come with 2 replaceable nozzles that deliver 2 spray patterns to rinse off stubborn stains or to cover a wide range to wet the car body or to bath the pets.
