DEWALT 20-Volt 550 PSI, 1.0 GPM Cold Water Cordless Power Washer Review | Cordless Pressure Washer

[@rolotomassi8536]

This is the first video I watch where the guy actually took the time to use a regular car detailing foam canon and tried it with this dewalt tool. And then showed how efficient the foam rinsing was... This is gonna do it for me. Thank you.

[@wyaldkingdom]

This was a really important video for those of us who live in condos. I have a garage with power outlets but no water spigot. I have searched everywhere looking for a self priming system (suction from bucket). This seems to be the only one that is worth getting. Karcher k4 and k5 can do it but I don't like all of their proprietary connections and tools. Makita has a nice unit but it's not sold in the USA. I even emailed them asking about it and they don't know if/when it might be coming. Thanks for the video! I might end up getting one.

[@fernandodelarosa7988]

Got 1 for that specific reason and it's awesome.

[@leojohnwayne1422]

@@fernandodelarosa7988 what tools or accessories did u buy with it?

[@donotrobme9295]

I agree. Worx has one but no thx. I’ll get the dewalt

[@billarroo]

You can't expect a lot from a battery powered pressure washer, but this is surprisingly efficient, Thanks

[@flowinthrou]

14:24 This is what I should have watched 1,5 year ago, thank you! Changing the orifice of my cordless power washer would have saved me from so much

[@CoryCDS]

This is the best video of this I wasn’t thinking about ever buying one from any video ive seen but after this one it doesnt look bad at all if I catch a deal on one might check it out for myself. Ive got plenty of batteries 20 and 60v

[@imjoshv]

Yea if you’re already on the dewalt ecosystem ( like me ha) then it’s a great tool to add in to the mix

[@davedaniels8211]

Great video thankyou . Living in the UK most properties have external taps at the rear of the property so running a hose and power can be time consuming on the setup . Really like the idea of a cordless washer and a bucket of water . They retail for about £130 , no battery . The lower PSI actually suits my needs better . The addition of a 'proper' foamer made a huge difference 👍

[@tinman1955]

I'm gonna wait for the hose-less water model. 😊

[@svg_pikachu5816]

Dumb asf. Goodluck carrying 20lbs of water

[@APrawks]

Best video I've seen to date on this machine. It definitely has its place. Soap bottle is great for applications where you don't necessarily want foam.

[@tehMaloWalo]

it’s not a soap bottle it’s supposed to foam.

[@APrawks]

@@tehMaloWalo There's times I don't want foam. If you think outside the box (you can do it) you'll see there's applications besides using it to wash your car. I know 'cause I've done it several times.

[@tehMaloWalo]

@@APrawks i understand that. i’m just saying, this is supposed to make more foam not dispense soap. the foam cannon on this machine sucks to make foam but sure it can spread soap. you could also just put soap in the water source and skip the foam cannon attachment as it’s meant to make foam not spread soap lol

[@APrawks]

@@tehMaloWalo Needs more pressure to make foam and you're just not going to get it from this machine. You'll never ever see me run any cleaner through any machine. I use simple green to spray on my porch then use Ryobi scrubbers. Great for rinsing vehicles from a bucket of filtered water. I use it for all kinds of things.

[@tehMaloWalo]

@@APrawks i get plenty of foam out of my cordless kobalt washer @ 600psi. the foam cannon attachment just sucks

[@Utubeisazzho]

For washing the car/boat/4x4/ track loader, dump truck, and tools fully portable, perfect

[@rehanhasan1560]

Awesome video, its really nice that you have tested out the pre included soap dispenser. I laughed hard when its squirts runny soapy water way instead of foam 😂

[@jona7r349]

Just found your great channel - you give very clear presentations! I just got the DeWalt 20v with the intention of using it to clean road grime off our cars in the winter when above freezing, and keep the washing mess and ice away from the front of the garage. I thought it worked great even with the 550psi pressure. Two pre-rinses took virtually all the dirt off (but the car does have ceramic coats). My only issue is that the soap bottle barely worked. Soap dribbled out just a couple of feet, and thought something was wrong with it until I tried a soap bottle from my larger pressure washer and it did the same thing. I’m going to get a smaller orifice for my Adam’s foam cannon and try that next even though the cannon shouldn’t be used with less than 850 psi. Was hoping to find a cordless pressure washer with portable water tank in lower 1000 psi range, but nothing affordable really exists yet. You covered the cordless dual 20v Ryobi in a different review, but pointed out the flabby/leaky plastic water bag that has to be held above the unit to work. For that expensive unit they could have done better than an afterthought on how to supply water to it.

[@KosmicHRTRacingTeam]

Great video on the purpose of this item. I bought a Worx version a couple of years because it was the only one avail at that time (would have loved to go a Dewalt, because I already have several of they batteries). I already have a high pressure washer, but bought one of these “power washers” for the sole purpose to final rinse car with distilled water. Much less to zero water spots (even if you just let it sit to dry, which I don’t normally do). I modified a plastic back pack type 5 gallon weed sprayer and hook my worx up to it and fill 2-3 gallons of distilled water for my 911 or 3-4 gallons for my MDX and Tacoma or wife’s Infiniti SUV. Looks like all the major companies make these now. Also a Great option for someone who may not have a water source (live in an apartment complex, or something?). Not as much power as the pressure washers, but good enough. I’m surprised that details go to such great depths on how to avoid water spots, but no one ever mentions this type of rinsing technique, but works great for me. Thanks for the video!!

[@cameranmanner4701]

Worx has a model that uses 2 batteries @ 750 psi

[@johndoe6032]

Using a backpack tank is a genius move. Probably not enough of a market for it, but someone should come up with a battery powered backpack pressure washer with tank that can run on the larger 40v or 60v batteries for more power and pressure. That would put all of the bulk/weight on your back and make the hand held portion much smaller and easier to use. This would be great not only for cars but also pressure washing anywhere.

[@reggiemiller00]

Thank you for the review. I have a mobile garage set up for camping with my Atv. This will be perfect for cleaning things before we pack up to go.

[@myalfie]

I bought a greenworks cordless pressure washer, it’s 70 bar and has the bucket of water on top of the unit it’s the best cordless washer on the market, I’ve yet to see a more powerful one than that and I use it regularly!

[@lijianli]

I'd say it's good for the winter time for doing rinseless wash and cleaning off salt when the water hose is frozen. To each their own. On my way to get one soon.

[@caxcan9438]

I paid 200 bucks on Amazon came with 20v battery . What I use for my business out here in the Bay Area. People out here don’t like gas equipment.

[@DETAILINGDETAILING-hb7bj]

after ( I purchased about 3 years ago) the WORX now they want to all come with their model, wish they all had a universal battery

[@wyaldkingdom]

Check if Amazon has a battery adapter. I've seen them before so you can use different batteries from different manufacturers.

[@terrycalvert7812]

One of those metal clips you get a office max or Walmart for thick papers zip tied to the hose works perfect

[@darkim808]

The wand extension creates the restriction and helps to maintain higher pressures, by adding the foam cannon directly to the handle youve lost all your pressure to create foam

[@stopitskiiiuuup4006]

To keep the hose down in the bucket, I use a small master lock hanging on the end so it can stay down in the water. Honestly this thing is awesome for washing your motorcycle. Especially if you live an apartment complex like myself and no access to a garden hose. But you are correct the factory hose on this thing suck ass and starts bending immediately. I washed my bike and entire car with this thing. The factory soap dispenser suck ass too!!!!!

[@johndoe6032]

Looks like a good option. What someone really needs to do is create a backpack pressure washer unit that works on larger voltage batteries like electric mowers use for more PSI and GPM, and include a water tank so you have everything on your back for convenience and make the hand held portion lighter. You may look like a wannabe ghost buster, but you'll be able to wash your car or pressure wash anything anywhere. If you get the gumption to build this product and it's a success, I'll just ask for a 5% idea fee cut. :)

[@fmann7545]

Thanks for saving me the trouble of ever buying one of those.

[@razoramit]

Hi @imjoshv can this priming hose be used with any other corded electric pressure washer and use bucket water as a source? Does it damage the water pump of the pressure washer as there will not be enough water pressure coming from the bucket?

[@JimVincitore]

A curved attachment to get the wheel wells would be great too. I love Dewalt stuff, I have a bunch, but...I'd go $39.99 on it, at $120, I'll just use my hose!

[@michaelcampos75]

Great review, thinking about starting a mobile car service and want to travel light, this seem like a great tool to add to my collection, I'm just curious on the second tool you mentioned that you're going to review Great review, thanks for the info

[@MireSeVini]

Been wasting my time looking for an electric pump sprayer. Fantastic.

[@FairweatherBlues-Band71322]

Great video explaining the unit ….. question, if I don’t want to use soap dispenser that it comes with, can I just put a little soap in the bucket and use it that way and will it work with any of nozzles. appreciate your input. Thank you.👍🏼

[@johnmoricone294]

Hi there, the 15.3 - 16 min mark you mention another washer from amazon that you prefer. tried to find that video but could not. Could you let me know which model/product you reference. Also I have a car wrapped in PPI, what are your recommendation for washers?

[@iamdhel17]

is that a foam cannon pro v2.0 with 1/4 quick connector adapter? I will buy a mjjc foam cannon but I don't know what type of nozzle that fits on my cordless dewalt. can you please tell me what did you used on your video. thanks

[@fablan3308]

Would it be more powerful if you connect it straight tap

[@WolfAbarth]

I have the 600 psi Ryobi EZClean, It works great to 'pressure' wash cars but it sucks at foaming, I've converted mine to quick connect and even with a MJJC it struggle to make foam. I think this is due to the flow rate maxing out at 0.7 GPM. I've tried a number of different orifices (0.8 > 1.25) but nothing helps.

[@TraconWizard]

Thinking put hose in a jug of distilled water for final rinse. Should cut down on water spots.

[@paulhughes3961]

I curious if hooking it up to a garden hose might boost the pressure a little bit since it would not be using so much of it's power pulling the water in.

[@Mark---W]

Probably just a tiny bit maybe around 50-100 more PSI.

[@ppclean]

I did some pressure tests today. Bucket pull with yellow tip was 500 psi. With the hose it was about 550 psi as they advertise. All the tips except yellow were 400 psi both bucket and hose.

[@w.hishmeh]

You probably figured out by now that the handle on the bucket slides very nicely over the hose to keep it in place. No vice grip needed. Sometimes simple is best.

[@rainshadows7086]

yo my dude. would this tool be good to rinse off caked dirt cars before using ONR bucket method?

[@pandotterito]

Well explained review! I will buy this unit today, on sale for 190 CAD

[@davestewart9146]

That is kinda cool, would using a garden hose directly to the unit make any difference? Great video 👍😁

[@imjoshv]

it did with the ryobi so i would assume it would add a bit more power

[@thebrushhawg]

Ideal for the boat. Way cheaper than a wash down pump and plumbing not to mention it doesn’t draw power from the house batteries.

[@AlexRodriguez-oq1mn]

Imagine it would work a little better with the added pressure from the hose.

[@Urbanmediashowcase]

I want to use distilled water for rinse to get less water spots. Do you think this would work well for that?

[@TeacherAlexAcostaTAA]

Try using de ionized water if you want the purest source.

[@BaltazarSMZ]

You can figure out the gpm. Measure the weight of water being sprayed in a bucket against a timer running for a minute. Water is about 8.34 pounds a gallon

[@FirstLastOne]

For those resisting metric because (who really knows) 1 litre of water weighs 1 kilogram. Unbelievably difficult to grasp. Water freezes at 0c and boils at 100c. If you were building a subwoofer cabinet in a spare tire well or behind a wheel arch and needed to figure out the volume of the cabinet, it would be quite easy using water to find the volume in litres instead of your cubic inches or feet. And then there's your lovely fractions. What's the point of those? Metric? Oh yeah, there's the point.😁

[@TraconWizard]

​@FirstLastOne Agree with you. In the 70s, we were all told to learn metric. I'm still waiting. But fractions do allow finer measurements. Don't think I've seen a rule with smaller than millimeters.

[@Jonathan-st6dt]

How do you compare this with the ryobi handheld and any other bucket capable power cleaners

[@Tony.Technics.1200s]

OMG, if they made a single battery 40V. Dewalt or Makita I'd be all over it, just saw some random brand that ran on 40V, but it takes two batteries. . . Very cool though for weekly beach trips as it is though.

[@slickrick1636]

Great video!!! How many(average) gallons of water would one need to wash a car if using the bucket method ??

[@uncjim]

Any thoughts on whether this could work with a Trex deck that’s in good shape, just grime through the season.

[@APrawks]

It will handle it no problem. I had aphid poop all over my trailer, sprayed some super clean, let it sit a few minutes and it cleaned off perfectly. If I were to keep up with the cleaning I wouldn't need the cleaner.

[@uncjim]

@@APrawks Thank you

[@10SecondZ06]

9:30 I’m thinking that you are supposed to spool the hose in the bottom of the bucket with the ball shape part in the bucket also to hold it in there 🤷‍♂️. Or maybe it’s designed to be in a water source deeper than just a 5 gallon bucket because 5 gallons isn’t a lot. Maybe one of those water tanks on a trailer?

[@bostonbeanman6173]

This would be ideal if you trailer your boat to the ocean and want to rinse off your brakes after launching and loading. I currently use a pump sprayer but kind of a pain to have to pump for pressure.

[@BenButler50]

I bought the foam cannon but the connection piece it has does not fit into the desalt end like yours does?? It came with this black pice on it. Wtf

[@Pedroluvslupe]

Get the the new 945 psi hydroshot ! If that Ryobi can do such a great job, can you imagine what you can do with that 945 psi 1.00 gpm monster?

[@franciscosantamaria5849]

Hi! I have a similar cordless pressure washer and a foam cannon with a 1.1 mm orifice, however, I always get the "foam" as in minute 16:34, more like wet soap even with the foam cannon. I wonder what change you made between minute 16:34 and minute 16:45 that you got so much foam as I just cant get my setup to work like that... thanks!!

[@ThePwak007]

If the low setting had the pressure of the high setting and then high had even more it would be more worth it

Can you also try the Kobalt 40v cordless power washer from Lowes? Seems fairly priced. I’m in the market for one and wondering how good it is. Considering Worx Hydroshot as well.

[@cameranmanner4701]

Kobalt is a 40v platform at 600psi. I would expect more power from 40v. I think Ryobi has 40v that pushes 1100psi? but it looks more like a traditional pressure washer. The Worx on the other hand has many versions of their power washers. one that uses a single 20v battery and 2 that use 2 20v batteries and interestingly one runs at 750psi. That was their latest version of a power washer.

[@jasonmutumbulua227]

They're just standard DeWalt 20v or 60v FlexVolt batteries. Just search Amazon for that
