Our verdict

A compact, light cold-water electric pressure washer for cars, driveways and patios. It uses a soap applicator instead of an onboard detergent system, and the listing has little detail on the motor.

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

Pros
  • Lightweight and compact
  • Soap applicator included
  • Turbo nozzle included
  • Comfort grip wand
Cons
  • 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.
