Best Husqvarna Pressure Washers
Husqvarna PW 490
Really nice unit, though not terrific value for money – Very strong flow for an electric pressure washer. Quite a big step up in build quality, pressure and features compared with the cheap Karcher units… Read more
that Bunnings sell.
There are some really nice features, such as being able to rotate the nozzels and wands to the right angle - not something that's possible with the Karcher I used to have.
Easy to assemble - just 3 or 4 minutes was all it took. Not too loud, I don't ever use hearing protection when using it.
The price is a bit high but it's not a rip off. Only minor issue is that sometimes if you give it a very short pull on the trigger, the engine will not get started properly but will stay turned on but "locked", which I would expect would damage the engine if left for long. Just pressing the trigger again fixes it.

on, the machine is supposed to be in standby mode, but it oscillates until I pull the trigger and the pump activates. When the trigger is released, it oscillates again, and after a short time, it stops working. On 26 March 2025, I emailed customer.service@husqvarna.com.au but have not received a response from them yet. Therefore, I emailed them again today and attached a video of the symptoms. Their customer service boasts that they will answer within 24-48 hours. NB. I wash our two cars once per month, in total 56 times. It's not very good considering the purchase price! I will keep you all updated over time.

After contacting a distributor to source replacement parts for the PW 360, it took them more than a week to get a response from Husqvarna regarding the parts enquiry. I concluded that Husqvarna’s pressure washer division has deplorable Customer Service, so I decided to take my business elsewhere!
NB. I realised that Husqvarna’s pressure washer division established a reputation for poor Customer Service.

Glad it died – Temperamental, tends to stop halfway. Pressure hose kinks too easily. Uneven pressure flow. Not used heavily. Anger when it died turned to relief… Read more
because I don't need to deal with it anymore. Went to Bunnings and got a cheap ozito washer. And was surprised that the power was way better with consistent pressure throughout.
