Overview
A back patio, driveway or garage floor is where this compact corded washer is aimed. It comes with a trigger, a wand with a comfort grip, a soap applicator and two nozzle tips.
Low weight and a three-year warranty are the reason to consider it, with enough output for light cleaning. Pressure and flow suit small jobs, and the motor rating is not stated.
Who it's for
A homeowner with a small patio or a car who wants a washer that stores easily. A buyer with large surfaces or tough stains should look at higher-output equipment.
Pros and cons
- Lightweight and compact
- Soap applicator included
- Turbo nozzle included
- Comfort grip wand
- Motor amperage not listed
- Modest flow for large areas
- Short hose reach
Performance notes
A turbo nozzle spins a narrow jet in a cone, which lifts stuck dirt faster than a fixed tip, while the wide nozzle covers more area gently. The soap applicator mixes detergent into the stream at low pressure. A compact pump suits short jobs, and flow limits how quickly large surfaces get rinsed.
