EGO BATTERY POWERED PRESSURE WASHER - Full Test and Review!

[@weddlegreg]

16 minutes run time on high seams very short to me. It would take me several days to do my entire driveway.

[@Centaur008]

The kit for ~$800 seems like a pretty good deal considering the 6ah batteries are listed for $350 each, an even sweeter deal for those who already have EGO tools that use those batteries.

[@nwallis80]

Thanks for testing this. As an owner of several Ego yard tools, I’ve been wanting them to make a pressure washer for years. This will be more reasonable for people like me who already have batteries and chargers and buy the tool only.

[@imjoshv]

Totally agree! If you already have the batteries then the $450 is much better to work with. it s a great unit and built well

[@Samermog]

If I have two 2.5 AH batteries, would that not be enough for this pressure washer ?

[@I999-g2s]

@@Samermogyes! Will last about 5 mins though…

[@waymor2460]

I’ve got the Ego mower, blower, trimmer and hedge cutter and love them. I have 2 batteries to run them and it works fine. For a pressure washer I don’t see the value in battery power, especially the high price and extra batteries. For me a corded electric pressure is fine and much less expensive.

[@nomad509]

The EGO pressure washer is a perfect unit for those like myself who live in a rental community and either don't have access to running water or proper power. My detailing garage is about 50 feet away from my washpad and have setup a cart using a Worx Hydroshot the last two years but it has limitations. For one the hose is short and very stiff because because of the molded power cord from trigger to the motor plus the performance is lack luster but gets the job done. I'm less than two weeks away from ordering this for a major upgrade with the EGO!

[@dutchtech]

This EGO pressure washer is a BEAST! Great video Josh! Thanks

Awesome review, and the fact you don't need a pressurized water source is gold.

[@martinbenford3442]

Good build quality, 5A batteries really good, no problem Had this item just over 1 week, used it to clean several cars, the batteries have not needed recharging. Fantastic build quality, I would recommend this; I work as a professional car valet and I need something reliable and effective. Early days but absolutely brilliant so far. You should buy the right tool for the job. If you're cleaning a huge area of drive or a really lengthy job, don't buy a cordless! This is fantastic if used for the correct work and is a great tool.

[@golf007sd]

Great review. Got mine a week or so ago and did my first wash with it the other day and its performance was OUTSTANDING. In short, if you are looking at a new pressure washer for your car or anything that will require a pressure washer this is IT. Thank you for letting me know about the 3.0 orifice as well. Will be getting one of the OG Mosmatic Nozzle with a 40-degree.

[@JosephPluto-qw4fm]

Thanks for the detailed review! I think I'm going to pull the trigger on this without batteries, as I already have an EGO zero-turn mower with four 12.0Ah batteries! My run time should be good!

[@littleeddie133]

I have EGO, mower, string and hedge trimmer, blower. Great products my only concern in repairs. My daughters quit in the middle of summer I had to take it 50 miles out of town to get it repaired and it took two months to get it fixed!

[@kwojciech]

Great video! I love all the tests you do and all the research you put into it! Outstanding work!

[@xringarcher1440]

I love my ego power washer, it was a bit expensive but considering if you were to buy two of their 6 amp batteries separate, that’s $600 of product right off the rip, so the price is generally not too terrible. I have used mine up at my off-grid hunting camp where a garden hose is non existent. I did have to haul a bunch of water jugs up in my truck but the siphon hose attachment works perfectly when just dunked in a bucket or big pot full of water, I really like that aspect for off-grid useage. Ive got a solar system set up at my camp so I can charge the batteries as needed off my inverter, so no issue with power for me. Even so, I did buy two of the 12 amp hr batteries since I saw a 2 pack for a good deal. Hopefully that’ll extend the run time enough to not even have to switch batteries during a pretty long job

[@JimboHutch]

Just bought the 2700 PSI Greenworks last year and this would have been great with my "EGO Ecosystem" of batteries. Thanks for the video and unfortunate good news lol Too bad they didn't bring this out last year. Not having the worry about one other cable to drag around sounds awesome, especially if you already own a leaf blower, mower or snowblower.

[@davefgs2399]

I've been using a Worx Hydroshot for the last few years, its not like a Kranzle but its really compact and gets the job done. For me as a weekend warrior living in a condo is one of the few solutions when the car gets a bit too dirty for a rinseless. After seeing this I'd say, if you have the space to store it, have access to water near the car and you don't have to go through ramps or stairs carrying stuff like me, this EGO one seems to be a way better option

[@jamesfleissner9208]

ever try the 12 amp hour or 10 amp hour batteries from the lawn mowers in it just wondering if they will even fit but if they did it would double your runtime

Great informative video! but can we use the other third-party nozzles with this pressure washer or can we use the Karacher accessories with this pressure washer with some adapter etc?

[@snackymcgoo1539]

Does anyone know if other company car wash attachments would work on the Ego pressure washer? Like maybe Karcher rotating soft brush or rotating noodle glove? I called Ego and provided feedback. I would buy this if they sold car wash accessory attachments. Soap dispensing rotating soft bristle brush and wheel rim brush for example.

[@elonsus9747]

I’ve been using a Ryobi 600 power washer for my mobile jobs. It’s held up well, but I’ve been looking for a stronger and more durable pressure washer that can be water fed through a bucket or any water source. This looks like a winner, the price is kinda high but 😏

Chervon, if you’re reading these: Get a SKU out here with just the unit, no batteries, attachments, etc. There’s gotta be thousands of potential buyers who already have all the peripherals and a surplus of batteries (like me). I’d be the first pre-order if they did that 🙏

Does it support other wands and foam canon ? Or you need to use the one that came with the tools? Thanks Great video by the way!!

[@deandrabin306]

Here's the thing: I already own a variety of Ego products (very happy with all of them), so I already have batteries (two 7.5 Ah from my snow blower, that, incidentally, last longer than the 6.0 Ah ones), which makes buying the washer without batteries at only $450 a no-brainer.

[@CBRFRENZIE]

I wonder if not using the wand will give you more battery time, so it’s not draining through Machine and Wand or is it still the same with a different gun?

[@josephnaras]

Run time should be the same regardless. The run time is determined by power (in watts) used. Since this has no variable trigger and it is set power levels, as long as the system is running, it should be pulling consistent wattage regardless of the head, wand, or nozzle. Only thing to do to improve the run time is to use lower power settings or get bigger batteries

[@Boon-ie1rq]

Battery might be expensive but it pays for itself. Also you can often sale the batteries from your kits or old batteries to offset cost. Like with any other tools and a bit of luck, you can catch all sort of sales throughout the years. Gotta pay a bit more for their quality and expertise. If you're invested, it's well worth it especially if you own a few 12ah batteries. With that said, The new pressure washer and wet dry vacuum is on the higher price but they do the job really well.

[@johnkemp4370]

Dewalt started bigger electric tools with their 60V system 6-8 years ago. I own most of it and am selling on EBay to replace with Ego. Batteries are much cheaper than dewalt and last longer.

[@littleeddie133]

so you cannot use it as a stubby nozzle?

Not for me, but it seems like a good unit for the person that's looking for something like this.

Hi Josh, If EGO would of also incorporated a OPTIONAL ability to hook into a Electrical Outlet (Pull-Cord) with the Ability to Charge the TWO batteries While in the OPERATING COMPARTMENT, Basically Operate as BOTH Electric & Battery, this would be the perfect Power Washing Machine…Hands Down! You mentioned that it took 1hr / 1:15 to recharge, this way the Consumer could just use the unit to recharge & EGO could Ditch there charger for COST 💲 SAVING$!!!!! Just My 2 Cents!!

[@trizzybones]

I wonder if they'll try to make an air compressor. If they do that, for a mobile detailing setup I feel like you could eliminate a gas generator and run purely off of batteries, since they already have a vacuum, pressure washer, and air blower for drying. Am I missing anything that would need power in a mobile setup? And then if you have solar to charge those batts, you could be running off of free clean power. The question is how long it would take to pay all of that off versus just using the traditional setup. Not to mention a lot of homes will let you use their power.

[@CorridorCulprit]

A little too expensive for me, but maybe over time it'll go down in price or go on sale at certain times. Ego has some good products (other than their snowblowers) so hopefully this one becomes popular

[@ynie1]

Instinctively, everyone thinks that our battery powered unit would somehow be lower performance. The fact is, batteries can provide much higher current than your wall outlet can AND it’s DC current. The downside, of course is runtime. So, you can get Kranzle 240V performance, albeit only for about 15 mins, before you have to recharge.

Hello, hopefully this message gets to you. Being a lithium ion battery, you should never fully discharge the battery. On the other side you also dont want to leave them on the charger for an extended time. I dont want to promote other websites, but let me know if you'd like resources that support the above information. Also recommended recharge for lithium ion is between 50 and 100 so if you finish up a job dont hesitate to throw it back on the charger to full charge and take off. Hope this helps!

[@johndoe6032]

Looks good. HD will definitely need to drop the price of theirs or at least throw in a battery kit. Otherwise the only people that will buy it will be people in the Ryobi battery system, but even then they may opt for a unit with much more power. One downside is selling a unit that uses two batteries, but the charger can only charge one at a time, but that's typical I guess. I had the same issue with my mower.
