Let's Check Out The DeWALT DCPW550 Power Cleaner

I take a look at the DeWALT Power Cleaner (Pressure Washer) to see if it'll some work around the house.
I mention in the video that I'll be cleaning the patio properly later. I found a cleaner the I was really impressed with called "30 SECONDS Outdoor Cleaner" Amazon link below or you can pick it up at your local big box home store.

Have now used this to clean house siding and it performed well kzbin.infoUgkx43QMbQqu67IZadu9ou8Sg1BdrunMRNqX I also bought some wand extensions which enabled higher washing without needing a ladder. I recommend both. This unit arrived quickly, was easy to assemble (only had to attach the handle), and arrived in perfect condition. The only very slight downgrade from a perfect score is the design has a low handle and requires pulling from the side. My old washer was an upright model, while this one is more horizontal. Other than that, it's perfect for my needs. It has a great deal of pressure and more easily cleaned the house siding, porch rails and concrete than did my older model. The engine is a bit louder, as well, but the total time to clean was reduced by the more powerful spray. Did I mention it starts on the first or second pull every time?!! I am definitely happy with this model.

I'm a septic tank and grease trap pumper. I got one of these for blasting the inside of tanks and traps to really deep clean them. The turbo head and 0 degree nozzle is great for busting up the sludge and solids. No room on the pump truck to carry a gas pressure washer so this is great. Been using mine for about a year. Niche and gross job but glad this tool is available.

[@Ichabod_Jericho]

Sounds like you can charge whatever you feel though! I mean if they don’t wanna pay they can put on some gloves and realize how hard clearing a disgusting clog can be lol

[@ChefBoyarDEEZ]

I'm not gonna lie, I am not big on these tool videos. But I watch and like them cause I like FPV a lot, he makes me laugh, he's a real, genuine dude that you'd enjoy having a beer with, not some fake youtube personality for view. I like, subscribe, and watch all the content just to support you. Keep up the awesome work.

[@FunkFPV]

I appreciate it 👍🏻

[@HONK3Y]

It's nice to see a normal guy who works for a living review tools. No sponsorship, no salesman lingo.. just honest feedback.

[@hyperdude54]

I feel like this is starting to become an excuse to start buying a ton of Dewalt tools lol 😆

[@patrickancona1193]

Was considering this & he just made up my mind to get a real pressure washer since AvE hasn’t covered this thing to my knowledge & that’s one of the only ones besides project farm, zipties & bias plys & this guy I trust

[@stauker.1960]

I'm all for it

[@alacrus]

He doesn't need excuses

[@FunkFPV]

Haha You’re not totally wrong 😁

[@jasonvandervalk3679]

A tool that does the job it's a good tool

[@JKT209]

I’ve owned this since it was released and yes, it does have space for a flexvolt battery. It’s not a heavy duty pressure washer but it does quite a bit around the house and cleans my motorcycle really well

[@Yonni6502]

Thank you for this video. I was considering to purchase one of these and you saved me a bunch of money. I love the honesty of your videos. Seriously, thank you again!

[@mattfleming86]

My Ryobi (AC wall pixies) has all the same hardware. Solid little unit. I use it to de-mud my tractor and other pressure washer things. Love it so far.

[@DUKE_of_RAMBLE]

*"Hmm. China water... **_That's_** gross!"* _-Funk Master Wes_ 🤣

[@EricErnst]

I bought one a couple weeks ago for my water truck at work. It's not as powerful as a dedicated pressure washer, but it's certainly better than a thumb on a garden hose.

[@FunkFPV]

100% 👍🏻

[@chickenlife6317]

My wife loves the turbo head nozzle.

[@TheDavebala]

Keep doing what you do, good sir. Very detailed reviews and a fine awareness and thoughtfulness of others outside your work environment. In the market for a portable washer, and cleaning the truck and having those quick jobs don't necessarily call for a nuclear powered washer. Having "dollar store" PSI don't help much either.

[@dutchdrifter8740]

If you want "portable" and have power and a garden hose nearby, I would recommend a AVA go p55 power washer. High flow and pressure for a compact washer and 10 years warranty.

[@gabebaier5326]

Very helpful I work for Kubota and we make products that use hydraulics, and occasionally during production there are leaks and we don’t have a dedicated way to clean out a hydraulic fluid leak, so this would be amazing to clean out a unit during process and save a ton of time 👏

[@austinlane5721]

Thank you so much. Love these. You’re the best. As a former aerospace setup & operator and now promoted to aerospace quality engineer you know your stuff

[@lethargicmotorsport2025]

I bought mine a year or so ago, It comes in handy all the time

[@AverageReviewsYT]

On the car cleaning.. when I used to clean semis I learned quickly that 1. Turbo nozzles seem to agitate the soap more so than push it away. 2. when I rinse I go vertically and sweep back to front.. it’s much faster. I also slow down.. slower is faster.. I’m sure this is all common sense to u but just some tips that make a difference is lower power units…

[@katelights]

with the soap dispenser, you can dilute to make it go further.

[@max_archer]

For most applications I think it would've made way more sense to take a regular compact pressure washer and slap a couple of battery sockets on it. That way you could run regular PW guns and only have to deal with a standard thin PW hose instead of dragging a whole garden hose behind you and it probably could've been a lot more powerful, especially if they'd made it a multi-voltage device with options to run at low voltage for light duty work or 120v with dual flexvolts or a wall plug for heavier work. My experience is also that that style of soap sprayer always sucks, even when it does have a flow control. The good ones go in the nozzle quick release, the ones that replace the wand are always garbage.

[@rsbreeze]

I got one of those power washers and they are handy as hell for small jobs that don't require full power and when you don't want to drag all your shit out. I actually take it to the lake and rinse out the inside of my boat using lake water. Works great.

[@jasonnoteboom4489]

I bought one a while back. Works good enough. I did buy a metal hose adapter since the original plastic one didn’t look like it would survive.

[@andrewolson1157]

I'm really happy you noticed how flimsy the hose connection is. I bought this, hooked it to my hose, began walking up my front walk a little bit, and it snapped right off under the first slightest bit of pressure. I've never actually used the tool.

[@Mr.Avuncular]

Mr funk...I use this cleaner on my motorhome all the time. works absolutely wonderful man. Kicks the gross slime and black film right the "F," off ! I approve ya did good on this one

[@TySutherland]

What a good guy! If only everyone was as helpful as yourself. Thanks!

[@Andy-nm9dw]

The way I use my soap cannon is to dilute the soap a bit and fill it all the way. Mine is adjustable and still empties fairly fast. Perhaps a good time to try the low power mode. Also the green tip should put more water out to rinse the truck after the soap cannon. That may also work better on the low power mode for rinsing. Good review- love the channel.

[@Slicerwizard]

Exactly. Don't just put soap in there! Add soap, then top up with water. Give it good shake to mix before deploying.

[@KTA99]

I am going on my 2 year of having this tool. And I have yet to find anything I could not clean with it. As long as you have a bucket of water this tool works anywhere. Truly the best investment I have made.!

[@Chumly409]

The DeWalt A/C unit I think you're referencing there at the end (DWPW2100) is very nice. It's basically a medium/small rolling suit case with the wheels, extendable handle, and cage. It'd take up some van space if you carried it all the time where you can slap that battery one on the wall, but it's size and portability are outstanding over all IMO. It's nice to stand on the thing to get another foot higher for some stuff and the kit is basically able to be stored nicely as one unit; Everything is within it's cage. It's about $350 so about a 1/3 more of the cordless, which has many uses too, but probably the best portable configuration of other A/C models like Greenworks or Stihl (I use the Stihl 110 Plus electric and a 4000psi gas cinder block around the house). I like the cordless DeWalt for just general cleaning which I think you'd agree with. Gutters, A/C condenser coils, and shit like that where I'm not dragging all this crap around besides a hose. I also don't want to use anything ultra mega master chief powerful to wash off my vehicles either unless I'm looking for the factory primer layer. Great, quick vehicle cleaning since I live on a dirt road with a good hand job once in a while to make them shine...just plentiful enough to not make me jealous that the trucks and cars are getting more than myself.

[@emmettturner9452]

This is exactly what I need. I recently did a coolant flush with no access to running water so I had to transport it in gas cans. Even then, I couldn’t properly back flush the two heater cores with a hose like I wanted to do. Being able to pump/squirt/spray water from a bucket is exactly what I need and the fact that it’s almost useful as a pressure washer is just a bonus. I desperately needed something like this for the last -car- [van] wash I had to do also. I ended up reusing Windex spray bottles for most of it.

[@BrownEyePinch]

CHINA WATER, GROSS!!! LEGENDARY

[@InsanePacoTaco]

I have the Ryobi version of this. I like the concept of the tool. I use it to clean the grill, indoor showers, outside furniture, outdoor trash bin, etc. Obviously there is a big difference between this and a standard pressure washer but as they say, "A man has to know his limitations"

[@ppclean]

Considering I've never seen a Shurflo style pump with more than 150 psi, the DeWalt definitely fills a void for smaller tasks. Inattached a regular foam cannon, and it did its job very well. Some will complain and say this is weak, but its a useful tool for someone that needs portable and lightweight work done.

[@MrLandslide84]

I love the tons of unnecessary pointing. It instilled in me great confidence in the tool, long time.

[@stopwar2712]

Thank you for such a comprehensive review. I was just looking for one of these sinks. And I understand that it's better to wait for the new version, where the engineers will remove all the weaknesses.

[@Secondrunnerup613]

Sinks???

[@BT59]

I've had the Ryobi version for over a year and it is super handy and works great

[@T2D.SteveArcs]

I would personally like to see a high power version with a nice bldc and if a 6Ah runs for 4mins so be it🤷‍♂️ but i guess a lot less people would want this... I think your right it is what it is you can't expect a hand held machine to compare to a 3kw induction motor mains powered machine.. It will work well for your requirement, thanks for sharing man..

[@sousay2000]

My friend bought one. The way he was talking about it it was the best thing since sliced bread. But that was before he actually used it. Long story short he doesn’t use it since he tried it for the first time.

[@cmandrell]

i have the worx of this seems good i use mine at my off grid place

[@vincedameion2631]

Good for not damaging

[@FunkFPV]

Agreed. I didn’t mention it but it would probably be good for cleaning engines. High PSI pressure washers tend to inject water where you don’t want it.

[@gm558]

your getting better at this, keep it up

[@macbergson]

Thanks for the review. Confirms I don’t need this tool. Appreciate it.

[@6.0Ls10]

Great review!

[@danalexander9721]

Industrial glass cleaner works great too.

[@billm7166]

I live in the Philippines and the cordless pressure washer I own that is made by total tools works great lt has about 1 gallon a min and 150psi after I moded it with all new orings and a new motor it had a 550 brushed I went to a brushless. Great review.

[@sir0nion]

Nice. I was thinking about buying this for my house.

[@creamofbotulismsoup9900]

For household use you're probably better off with a cheap electric pressure washer. They're way more powerful. You can get more done in less time with less money. The downside being that they take up more space and the hose can be a bit of a pain to deal with. Personally, once my I finally kill my cheapo electric power washer, I'm going to get a gas powered one, though I've abused the crap out of it and the damn thing just will not die. Time is a precious thing, gas powered pressure washers can save a lot of it.

[@dwartfarquart9590]

Good thorough review. Thx Brother.

[@IVloses]

I have this ‘power cleaner’ as well. I find it super useful for washing my vehicles instead of pulling out the gasser pressure washer. Also maxing out at 1GPM is perfect for my CR Spotless machine. I’ve also used it for quickly rinsing off a drill paddle and cleaning out mortar/grout buckets and it worked great for that as well. It’s definitely a niche tool, but for the stuff it can do it’s perfect for it.

[@noblegas34]

I bought the 2100 AC pressure washer by Dewalt last summer and I love it. Super compact and the PSI is solid for everything I need to do as a general homeowner. Highly recommend it.

[@macbergson]

I’ve been looking at that one. Thanks for the heads up. I don’t think this hand held is powerful enough.

[@macbergson]

I’ve been looking at that one. Thanks for the heads up. I don’t think this hand held is powerful enough.

[@mattmopar440]

I bought this for cleaning greasy condenser coils on units for kitchens on low power mode it's prefect doesn't damage anything

[@jasonvandervalk3679]

Another honest review as always.

[@sythshowedu]

love the tool reviews

[@zack9912000]

works out well for washing condenser coils on remote roof tops.

[@jmawdsley2]

Quality content as always 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@wadeb.5509]

I would have to say for the prices I'm seeing it's not worth the cost to have something yellow that says Dewalt on it. Yet there are applications I'm sure where an actual small pressure washer would be overkill and possibly damaging. The portability does go in it's favor for sure. I live and die for when manufacturers slip up and actually put a decent price on a tool WITH A FREAKING BATTERY

[@randysavage8963]

Fantastic review

[@2009rummell]

Those turbo nozzles come with high high pressure ones too. We have on a 4000psi steam cleaner

[@John-ro2yk]

I use it to clean the tiles/grout in the shower, no running of hoses around the house from a standard pressure washer.

[@Thelongmanable]

*_I'll wait for the Milwaukee version and it will actually work.._*

Pressure Wash Simulator is unironically one of my favorite games on steam. Very zen-like and relaxing. This thing is like the crappy washer you start with lol.

[@MiamiZombie2012]

If I didn't retrieve a back pack pressure washer from the dumpster, this would've been a good alternative.

[@gregorholmes1837]

The soap bottle. If you read the instructions…. Don’t put pure soap. You mix w water

[@michaelhobden6741]

Like your reviews mate

[@joelmollenkopf3767]

Excellent

[@patrickbowers8359]

Pressure washers always need a cleaner

[@probesport]

I keep almost buying this. I already bought a battery adapter to use my Bosch batts with it, its been in my cart a handful of times but I still haven't committed. Of all of the ones out there, the DeWalt is the only one I'd buy and it's not my ecosystem.

[@evilredBoris]

Never pegged you as a toyota guy. I thought wrong. Don’t get me wrong, ive always had respect for you but the fact that you daily a truck thats not part of the big three deserves alot more respect.

[@FunkFPV]

I’m at a point in life where I just want something that will run. Toyota’s are over geared and under powered. With the 5000 miles I drive my personal vehicles a year that thing will last as long as I need it to.

[@evilredBoris]

@@FunkFPV absolutely. I love them little taco trucks. They will last even after the human race has died off.

[@elementalist1984]

So get one of the black tip ones that I think are 5°

[@akbychoice]

My wife bought an 1800 psi pressure washer, it’s a far cry from the hot/steamer pressure washers I’ve always used in the past.

[@FunkFPV]

Nothing compares to a hot water pressure washer. It’s a cheat code for cleaning

[@studpuppyb8610]

[@OmidKhodaverdian]

“China water, that’s gross” lol ❤

[@red_adept]

I need this. Fighting mud and road grime on the garbage truck wheels often ruins the studs when I need to change tires. Especially after the last pressure washer was stole and boss man refuses to buy another one. On second thought, I'm pretty sure I could rig up a syphon blaster with shop air and it would be more effective.

[@fls360]

Nice idea and thought on justification to purchase washer. I too am a forklift tech and thought of this option and only issue is runoff of the water. Most places I service are anal about oil and grease runoff. Glad it you are able to use where you do work.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

I’ve been waiting for Milwaukee to come out with one of these just so I don’t have to use another battery platform. Primarily just to use to boost the pressure of a standard water hose… not as a pressure washer. If they don’t get off the fence I may have to just get another brand and a battery adapter. I don’t think it would work on this one with the way the battery goes in. Thanks for the video 👍👍

[@Rhuidian]

seems like a specific use tool for the price. Good for what you say you'd use it for. Anything with a bigger purpose - house, truck, patio washers - get a regular pressure washer. A few extra $$ gets you a decent 120v.

[@bossmanz28]

Yes the flexvolt 9ah and 12ah will fit

[@FunkFPV]

Nice 👍🏻

[@tylersmith2941]

Your the man

[@WX4CB]

love dewalt tools... got a bunch of them, i know what you mean about the battery chargers lol.... and for 150 bucks that's not bad at all....

[@robertthanepohn7559]

I bought one of those to be able to wash my truck in motel parking lots as I work away from home and I was definitely very disappointed with it. It could be useful for some specific situations like you mentioned but for general pressure washing around home I’d say it’s fairly worthless especially compared to what else you could get for the same money or slightly more. I stopped carrying mine over the road as it’s just too bulky and that clear plastic bit does seem super fragile (tho I haven’t broken it when I did use it). If you’re needing a small pressure washer around your house or shop then do yourself a favor and just buy a normal small electric pressure washer, personally I prefer gas powered for use at my house as that’s where good pressure is at outside of expensive “professional” washers. If you need to clean something small and not lightly dirty and there’s no water source available this might work for you, outside of that there are better options.

[@Jason.H.]

Nice review. It’s definitely something I’ve had on the wish list, why I dunno

[@darrenairey5938]

Just for clarification....green is 25 degree and white is 40 degree👍

[@ED-es2qv]

I think low is for covering something in soap to let it soak, before you clean it off.

[@davidhess3320]

I've been eyeing this up for a while. Unfortunately I didn't have big enough or enough batteries, I do have outlets and extension cords though. I settled for the DWPW2100 no regrets yet. I'll have to persuade the wife for this one though 😂

[@streetpunk99]

You should check out the Rheem brand hot water garden hose nozzle. Ive been seeing it advertised latley and it looks legit

[@georgegeorge1368]

Hello . For mold on the wall you can use vinegar, you spray it well and let it work for a bit then wipe it with a cloth (well this works on wood quite well

[@emmettturner9452]

If it might have a problem with chlorine (bleach) because the pump might be aluminum, well, vinegar eats aluminum ALIVE. I put some aluminum motorcycle parts in an ultrasonic cleaner with vinegar and it absolutely ruined them minutes later.

[@emmettturner9452]

OIC… spray with a separate spray bottle first. That makes sense. Good idea!

[@AverageReviewsYT]

Basically everyone is having a go since worx brought the hydro shot out lol.. at least u didn’t buy the ryobi… but if you are wondering yes 550 psi is more than you think.. my 750 psi can clean decking on 25 degree with ease.. I could do 40 but I just feel more comfortable. Cleaning concrete I can do it on 25 also..the turbo nozzle is great, but go slow so u don’t get the goofy marks lol

[@AverageReviewsYT]

And washing a car for example.. is exactly the same as a full size washer.. as always the volume is what cleans faster, but there isn’t a huge difference in time… I wash my car all the time.

[@stupa55]

Well can't beat a normal pressure washer but for small work or for camping with a Bucket fair enough if you haven't got Access to water and a power socket.

[@emmettturner9452]

Exactly the situation I need it for. The workshop I rent has running water for the sink and toilet but no way to hook up a hose. I can’t even fill up a jug or bucket from the sink with only 3” of clearance under the faucet. There isn’t even a way to shut the water off if I accidentally kick the wall-mounted PVC plumbing. Floods AHOY! I routinely need to transport water there in gas cans when I need to clean or flush things and, of course, that still doesn’t give me any outdoor water pressure. It’s stupid. This DeWALT tool would solve my water pressure issue. I could actually back-flush my radiator!

[@Jose_Cuevas]

[@DapimpBDSD]

I wanted this "power" washer but I saw a few reviews and for the price, I'd probably buy a regular electric or gas powerwasher

I have a similar power cleaner by Ryobi. It isn't a power washer. If you're expecting Power Washer power you're going to be very disappointed.

[@T2D.SteveArcs]

I would cut the molding out a little so you can get a brass quick connector closer to the pump inlet, that second screen dohicky is just another part to snap off as you said.. Edit: lol I wrote this before the end of the video and I saw the broken plastic quick connector, again I would do away with the clear second screen thing and put a brass quick connector straight onto the aluminium inlet, just had another thought US gallons are 1L smaller than UK gallons, does the box tell output in L/min ? 😅
