Best Pressure Washers

Everything was just so easy from ordering payment and delivery Show details

I have been using a little Karcher at the house which has served its purpose but it was time for a renew. This little Ozito was very cost effective… Read more

at only $99 at Bunnings. I set it up and used it for around an hour straight. Its grunty enough and was as good as, if not slightly better than the Karcher. This was a first use and as I have a lot more blasting to do I will keep this review updated. Just an update. I have used the new Ozito for another hour or so and have encountered no issues. I have noted it is somewhat gruntier than my old Karcher. As my Karcher is still working, albeit spasmodically, I will do a comparison.

I purchased the K2 Pressure Washer recently and couldn’t be more impressed. I was able to use it on multiple outdoor surfaces including decking,… Read more

windows, glass pool gates, stone pavers & gutters. I was extremely impressed with the power & strength of this washer.

Compact and Powerful but Lacking a Few Essentials – Unboxing Experience: The Karcher 4 Compact comes in a fairly small box which is easy to unpack. It ships with two key attachments: the Dirt Blaster… Read more

and Vario Power Jet. While these are useful, I was disappointed that a wider jet nozzle wasn’t included, which would have been handy for more versatile cleaning tasks. Fortunately, I received an eco!Booster 130 from ProductReview, which filled this gap, but it would have been nice if this was part of the original package. Additionally, there was no detergent included, so if you’re planning to wash your car or similar, you’ll unfortunately need to purchase that separately.

Build Quality: The unit is lightweight and easy to carry, which is great for portability. However, the plastic construction feels a bit on the soft side, and my sprayer handle already showed scratches after light use. I did run into a minor issue with the hose getting stuck in the handle. After a moment of mild frustration, I realised that turning the machine and water tap off and depressing the trigger to release the pressure solved the problem. To be fair, it probably makes perfect sense to do that in the first place—chalk that one up to me not reading the manual as thoroughly as I should have! Despite some small quirks, the overall build seems sturdy enough for regular use.

Performance: The performance of the Karcher 4 Compact impressed me for such a small machine. The Dirt Blaster attachment worked exceptionally well on my limestone wall—so well, in fact, that I had to be careful not to blast away chunks of the wall itself! You can see in my photos before and after examples, it's quite impressive. The Vario Power Jet was less impressive. It’s a decent multi-purpose tool, but it’s not the best at any specific task, and I found myself wishing for the true wide-jet nozzle for better coverage. Still, the water pressure is excellent and gets the job done efficiently.

Final Thoughts: The Karcher 4 Compact is a capable and portable power washer with some room for improvement in accessories and build material. If you’re looking for a solid cleaner for smaller jobs and don’t mind picking up a few extras like detergent or a wider nozzle, it’s a good choice. Just handle it with relative care, and it should last you well.

Rating: 4/5

Note: The Karcher 4 Compact and eco!Booster 130 were loaned to me by ProductReview for testing and review purposes.

In our first run with the Karcher we were utterly impressed. We have a dingy garage wall that has year of ‘who knows what’ filth, dust, cobwebs,… Read more

construction dust etc etc. The Karcher easily cleaned it up, and tough spots disappeared with a touch of the scrub brush.

It was really easy to use, and the attachments easy to swap on and off. It’s also super light and surprisingly quiet, making big jobs much more bearable. Having used other clunkier pressure washers in the past, the vibrations and noise was awful. This is a remarkable difference!

And one other thing worth a mention - it’s powerful yet super compact. We’re in a small space and storage is at a premium. We have to think about what tools get a spot nd this definitely earns its keep.

I bought the Jet Hawk thinking it would solve my cleaning problem. Only if it actually worked would be great. Show details

We recently reviewed the Kärcher G3500 Plus Petrol Pressure Washer. Here is our comprehensive take. Performance and Ease of Use: The Kärcher G3500… Read more

Plus is a very user-friendly machine. It starts easily with just one pull and is intuitive to operate. You simply connect the water supply, turn it on, and it’s ready to go. The pressure washer tackled tough cleaning tasks instantly from the first pass, and it operated smoothly and fluidly.

Assembly and Features: The setup process was straightforward, with only minor assembly steps that were easy to handle. The machine includes four different spray variations and a soap dispenser, which is handy if you need to use detergent. The 15" surface cleaner attachment is a game changer for us as it reduces the cleaning time of large flat surfaces in half.

Overall Impression: We rate this pressure washer at 4.5 out of 5 stars. It’s powerful enough to handle difficult cleaning jobs, and while there is some vibration due to its strong pressure, you get used to it quickly. Overall, it’s a reliable and efficient tool.

Had this pressure washer for a couple of years now and it is pretty good. The pressure hose material is to hard to wind up on the coil thingy. Just… Read more

wind some big coils in hand. Heaps easier. Will need replacement o rings for the hose connectors as they perish. Shame the manual doesn't give you the size.

Recently purchased a K7 Compact pressure washer. My previous pressure washer was a Gerni "Compact" that expired after 20 plus years of good service… Read more

together with an occasional repair. After using the K7 for the first time on a concrete block wall, I had some reservations when I compared its performance to the Gerni. Initially, I noted that one of the delivery wands did not have the impact I was expecting. The "blade" of the water was wider than the Gerni but appeared to have less grunt. However, I found the wider blade of water was more effective when adopting a slower pass. The result is the K7 is actually quicker than the Gerni. To my surprise, the other wand supplied was ruthless in its destruction of grime, dirt, discolouration and removal of lichens etc. It was so effective in fact that the wall top coping (which is a softer concrete compared to the face) had a layer of concrete blasted away. So, I reverted to using the wider blade for the coping and the "swirling" blade for the face. I have to say, that I was delighted in the end with its performance and effectiveness. The true test will be how long (in terms of years), it will perform. I remain hopeful it will endure many years of hassle free performance. Highly recommended with an A+++

Generally lasted a while these units, but the last couple we had the hose snap on us which was annoying, we generally dont let it coil and fully… Read more

stretch it so there are no kinks. It could have just been a bad batch, but ill keep this at 3 stars for now as weve had one good and bad experience.

An Exceptional Machine – I purchased a Turbo Boxjet 8-90 in 2001 for farm use. I bought the turbo head to go with it (essential). It's worked perfectly for 24 years. Even… Read more

when I moved into town 10 years ago it still sees regular use on paths and drives. I've changed the oil about twice. Never had to pull the pump apart. It just runs. I do however use a simple water filter to protect the pump as we had unfiltered farm water. The original gun and hose wore out about 8 years ago and have been replaced but the basic unit is as good today as when I bought it. I used it since day one with a spinning turbo head which does everything I need.

I love it! I bought this about 3 years ago it hasn’t skipped a beat! Do regular oil changes and put fresh fuel, check air filter and change spark plug and you’re good to go! It’s a good machine if you treat it well you won’t have problems. Show details

Worked great for the first 4 or 5 jobs. It then developed an issue with the jet attachments intermittently not providing full pressure. Coincidently… Read more

the patio washer stopped spinning and leaking from the seal and the foam gun would not spray soap around the same time. All nozzles were checked and cleaned. Looked like a winner at first but everything is failing after 3 months. Can't seem to get anything quality these days even after spending $330.

Worth every cent great little machine for round the house and small business – Still great after 3 years of hammering it in my business Show details

RUBBISH! – worked fine for first couple of times i just went to use it this weekend and the piece of garbage started leaking heaps of water out of the bottom… Read more

and i only bought it a few weeks ago and been storing it in shed so its been looked after you are wasting your money DO NOT BUY! jet USA it says USA but they're made in some sweatshop in [Content Removed] of course sick of cheap [Content Removed] [Content Removed]

AWESOME MACHINE – I have had a lot of pressure washers over the years and none of them compare to this one, it is the best and I will never buy another brand again. Show details

very well made – purchased an aussi pumps, premium scud AB20 pressure washer, it has the 6.5 hp honda engine GX200, and works at 11 litres per minute flow rate, but… Read more

is only 2000 psi, the unit can be used for 10-30 hours per week,

washed our bungalow very quickly, eaves, facias and walls, i also purchased a water broom, and it took a long time to clean the 30 year old concrete patio, i think to do the patio i would have to be very patient with the lance.

ray eastwoods, aussi pump supplier, on sumners park, brisbane, recommended one twice as powerful for cleaning concrete drives,

how ever the AB20 seems suitable for house washing bungalows, garden furniture etc, it is very well made, and promises to be reliable, with ray eastwood, providing a free first service, and a local service and supply centre for aussi pumps. early days but i think i will be happy with my aussie pumps pressure washer,

i have a small gardening maintenance business, so i will be able to do the occasional single story house wash to complement my business. not too many dirt stained drives though i'll leave them to the bigger boys, who will be able to clean them quicker. very well made, not too noisy, does not use much petrol

The hose leaves black marks all over the patio as we are cleaning. Contacted ozito the distributor was told it does that on that type of suface. There was no other hose as an option. Black marks are getting worse as the cleaner gets older Show details

Perfect for cleaning everything – I bought this as a father's day gift for my dad and he absolutely loves it! The surface cleaner is perfect for cleaning our driveway (which we hadn't… Read more

cleaned in years) now it looks brand new. Also the foam bottle nozzle is so satisfying and makes me actually want to wash my car more frequently.

Not long out of warranty the gun blew a plastic fitting and had to be replaced. Shortly after, the hose fitting on the cleaner, to connect the hose… Read more

too, broke and leaked water. The pump turned on and when I got back it had basically melted the pump and internals making it a throw away item. Surely a heat sensing thermostat could be installed to automatically shut down the unit when it over heats. Disappointed and I'm not sure whether to buy Stihl again.

2 years and still going well and 2 neighbours have same unit – Plenty of pressure also grabbed the driveway cleaning attachment as a must have

All You Need To Clean Up Around The House – This pressure washer comes with several different attachments for a vast array of jobs. Obviously the (very powerful) pump itself is easily enough… Read more

pressure to get through any job. Mould on the concrete - gone. Oil & grease on the BBQ - gone. 4WD'ing in the mud - gone.

The in-handle storage of the hose is damn handy, although you do have to disconnect the hose from either the handle or the pump (or both) to do it. Luckily, connecting and disconnecting the hose is a piece of cake.

The variable spray head is probably the one I have used the most because it can be adjusted to suit most applications. If you have some incredibly tough mess to clean up there is the 'turbo lance' but I imagine it may do some serious damage if you were too aggressive with it.

I did try out the patio cleaner head and while it does a quick clean up (it definitely makes a difference), I ended up switching to the variable head for a better clean. What really surprised me were the attachments for the car - I've used foam cannons from both Meguires and Karcher and while they were both good, this is GREAT. Such a good thick, even coat of foam - better than I have ever seen. After that, I used the rotary brush for some manual agitation, and it quickly and thoroughly cleaned up the paintwork

For $300, this thing will clean up almost anything around the house

Fantastic – I got one for Christmas , way better than I expected, lots of power and lots of attachments . Show details

I was sceptical at first but pleasently suprised at the power and versititlity of this handy pressure washer. Up to 350psi was not bad for a battery… Read more

tool and way more versitlie to move to a new location with just a bayonet hose connector. 4 Nosel adjustment jets can produce a desired spray pattern and nice feel bayonet fitting with the ability to add 1 or 2 extensions. The included 2.5amp battery estimate would last 1 hr making it quite efficient. It took oil spill off painted surface so enough pressure to lift oil better than standard hose pressure. It will not replace 240v units but the vesitility and portability means the it can be used by Misses. Small intricate jobs Plastic outside chairs engine sump odd spiders web and mud wasp nest. Kit comes with accessoraries for soap dispensor and handy bag for kit. 5 year warranty. Had to file a little off the hose connector to make it suit my hose fitting but that could be my fittings.

What a serious waste. Worked well(ish) for about a year, then once the trigger was released, it kept on washing. Shortly after that the end of the… Read more

wand started to leak and there was no pressure at all. It still works with the bottle but that's it. Useless. Used for 120 hours.

Instructions the worse ever – It has three nozzles, two will damage your car, and one won't, but from the "pictures" they give you you are meant to work out which one it is on… Read more

your own. According to the pictures they all look the same. Drawings for instructions are useless. How are you meant to work it out?

Why is it so hard to provide decent instructions? Why do you have to go to YouTube to find out from others how your new appliance works?

I bought Bosch because I have a number of their appliances, but after this, I might be looking elsewhere.

Game changer for the Artificial Turf and car – I can attest to Debbie C's review that hubby is like a kid let loose in a water park when using this. Since buying it he's spent hours outside and… Read more

all our old and tired possessions are like new again.

The main reason we purchased it was for the Artificial Turf in our courtyard. After the rains of 2022 it was barely visible under the dirt and moss, and we had no idea how to save it. The Ryobi turned it back to looking like a freshly mown real lawn, washing the moss, mud & weeds down the drain & turning our retaining wall back to something resembling timber.

Purchased from Bunnings for $229 in 2023, it comes with 2 different type pressure nozzles, a rotary brush & detergent spray bottle. It's easy to move around while using as it has wheels, and connects with regular hose fittings.

It looks and feels like decent quality when using it, without any junky plastic parts that feel like they'll break in 6 months. It's also fairly easy to switch between accessories with my tiny lady-hands without me swearing like a trooper - something that isn't possible with many other household appliances!

Last week I went out to wash my car and hubby chased me down with the pressure washer & accessories. Having an older black car means washing it needs to be done quick so the suds don't dry and leave marks on the paint, and the Ryobi didn't disappoint.

The detergent spray bottle worked a dream to get the wash & wax on, the rotary brush meant less elbow grease required and the high pressure nozzle washed it all away leaving a sparking dream machine behind. I have to say it was a little bit exciting using the pressure washer to wash the suds off, so I get the addiction that hubby has.

So far we can't fault the Ryobi RACPWS2. It works as needed and doesn't disappoint in the least.

Do not buy! Same issue with the other reviews. No longer works after buying it around 15 months ago. Show details

Stihl trashes its reputation with poor quality and cheap manufacturing – Purchased in 2019 after having had a previous Stihl pressure washer that lasted 22 years. First issue was the detachable pressure spray head firing… Read more

off the wand like a projectile. This hard plastic missile does amazing things for the paint and panel work of your car. Thankfully Stihl dealer fixed this under warranty. Fast forward to early 2023 with fortnightly use for cars and driveway cleaning in between, and the pump develops a leak. Stihl dealer investigates and pronounces it "too expensive to repair, just get another one." ??? Well I can’t let it rest there, surely it’s just an o ring. Turns out the pump main casing seal is ruptured and with a new design that seals a pump, motor and gearbox, that is filled with lubrication, all together with the same attaching bolts. Hence you cannot repair any component independently. Well done Stihl you truly have made a machine with built in obsolescence in mind. Don’t pay the price premium this brand once deserved.

worst pressure washer, zero customer service – pressure washer hose split, bunnings consider it a consumable item so they wont warranty it, seems gerni and bunnings are in bed together, bunnings use to be good with warranty items and returns Show details
