New Tool Tuesday / DeWalt cordless Power Washer

[@michaelp9412]

I almost think a regular hose nozzle would have done a better job 😂. I was thinking about getting it until I saw this video. Thanks for the review

[@bigearn8782]

I was ready to type the same...

[@jhaymilli9924]

I was too late when I saw this

[@mikebottorff593]

Same here

[@LeeMims]

Thank you for the very helpful review. Ironically, your "bad camera angles" were still better than most of videos of this nature.

[@christophercrawford2736]

I bought one and I haven’t been blown away either. I’ll keep it for the convenience but I’ve lowered my expectations. I almost wished they would’ve just skipped this and went with the 60v to make a more impressive tool.

[@DavidFDay]

Yes , yes and yes on all the above!! Thanks for commenting

[@siscovelasco629]

Agreed

[@urbanroots84tt45]

I’ve been happy with dewalt over the years but just got this product and it’s going back tomorrow! Actually makes my hose less powerful!

[@PaoloFrancesco99]

Thanks for the vid. In summary, it works great to clean off thin layers of stuff on walkways and siding, what a garden hose would not clean. It cannot effectively clean caked on mud, probably the biggest reason is the low flow more than low pressure. Its good for the things it CAN do and that's still a good number of things. It's still in the running for me.

[@TroyRudd574]

Just ordered one of these yesterday. I live in a rural area with well water. Even with a softener, I get terrible water spotting, when washing car. I specifically got this to rinse my car with distilled water from a bucket. This portable power cleaner was never meant to replace a pressure washer. As long as you have a specific use case for it, I bet you'll be happy with it.

[@draytonPW]

Thanks for giving this new DeWalt tool a true test! I think they need to go with Flexvolt on this one to make it viable, but I do like the idea. Thanks Again!

[@DavidFDay]

Yes great concept and I’m hoping I can come up with some uses for it. The only thing that concerns me on flex foot would be the weight if you was using it for a long period. Thanks for commenting

[@Spunky-iq8jm]

I saw an aftermarket soaper work really well on a KZbin video with that DeWalt.

[@158shm]

Just came across this , you did a great job testing on different items, 🏁🏁

[@DavidFDay]

Thank you for the kind comment.

[@v-tex1858]

Great video-Nice tool. I just bought a Dewalt 2100 PSI 1.2 GPM Cold Water Electric Pressure Washer> I will share it to everyone.

[@michaelraichel6058]

I think if you are someplace you do not have a water source, you can take a 5 gallon pail full of hot water, it would be useful. But, if you have to hook up a garden hose…. Is it more powerful, than a garden hose with a good tip!?

[@kenromalino8557]

I just bought this a couple weeks ago. I was having low pressure amd water leaking in the same spot. I had to really push the connections together hard until it clicked tight. After that it worked beautifully. Even pressure washed my shower i was having so much fun. I havemt tried the turbo nozzle yet, but i did hear the turbo nozzle doesnt work too well on this washer

[@BradMyers]

It won't replace the normal pressure washer, but I can see it having usefulness in some specific situations like the one you demonstrated on your garage doors.

[@DavidFDay]

Yes it has its place and jobs it would be good for!! Thanks for commenting

[@Spunky-iq8jm]

I used the bucket for our 2nd floor patio and it worked well.

[@Wheelman1966]

Thank you Sir for the review.. I was considering this. DeWalt makes some cool 20 volt accessories. Sad to see this is not one of them.

[@DavidFDay]

I’ve used it to wash my tile saw, worked ok with that. Thanks for commenting

[@IC_Pirate]

Are you able to attach an XJET to the v20dwalt pressure washer?

[@jefferyj.herrera2592]

“I guess you can call this the water bucket challenge” lol nice review man👍

[@DavidFDay]

Thanks for commenting

[@jodyregier6176]

For the convenience I think it would be great! Battery powered won't hold a candle to a 3500 psi and 4 gpm gas unit but very handy for remote cleaning. I have another brand that is 330 psi and I like it for camping. Cleans good and my thought is for fire suppression also. Headed to town to get one right now!

[@will2-b150]

Would be great for washing my white vinyl fencing that the hose can’t reach.

[@felixtrejo4542]

Thank you for the great video. I was thinking on getting it but now that I see it at work I’m not very impressed!!

[@DavidFDay]

It’s limited. I do not like giving something a bad review but this thing is weak on power. Thanks for commenting

[@johantheoneandonly1021]

Yo man I lost the piece where I connect my garden hose to the gun, where can I buy that small black plastic piece at!!??

[@DavidFDay]

I’m not sure, you might call the number that’s on a DeWalt battery that will connect you with someone from DeWalt.

[@freddiesandoval9843]

Glad I seen this video review before wasting my money.thanks for sharing

[@DavidFDay]

It’s not much

[@willschmitt349]

I was going to buy this until I seen this. Thank you!

[@nandothefoaz]

What where you all guys expecting from an item with a hair dryer motor?

[@yomamab2002]

Could anyone who has this power washer tell me which is the most powerful nozzle? I want the washer to strip paint off of an old building that I painted at least 20 years ago and not sure which nozzle I should use to do that. I probably shouldn't be using it at all actually but I don't think it will get done if I don't personally do it. I actually just bought this washer about a week ago and am having trouble with using it because of a problem I have with my arms. I guess I thought it had a little gadget on it like my Dewalt backpack sprayer does so that I don't have to keep holding down the trigger. I'm not young and it about kills my arms having to do that. I'm afraid if I get a gas operated sprayer that I might accidentally ruin it. I'm not good at trying to figure out directions and the one that comes with this power washer does not impress me.

[@mojo7586]

I was seriously planning on having me one of these but I'm so glad I watched your video ! Was truly disappointed at how little that swirly tip actually put out , kinda reminds me of first thing in the morning when my tip is stuck together.. Thanks for doing this video for us!

[@R0sssfire]

This would be great for fishing day out on the boat to wash off the deck just using lake water. But for washing your car at home.. stick to your gas pressure washer.

[@DavidFDay]

Yes your right about washing boat, docks ect. It has its place thanks for commenting

[@spear-it]

I agree that would work perfect. or hosing off the pool deck using pool water

[@THUF007]

Is that Bird Man from TX Street Outlaws?

[@bigearn8782]

I was looking for something to wash the bug butts off of the front of my RV while camping in the middle of nowhere or just before entering a paid campsite. Spray off the loose bugs. Use brush with soap to scrub. Then use this to rinse. Thx for saving my money.

[@DavidFDay]

It would probably work for that the rinsing, and if you do the scrubbing by hand with a brush.

[@tracydavid4411]

I just saw your channel and I was thinking about buying one of these sprayers only to take with us when we ride the trails. It appears that its not any better than a garden hose. Am I seeing this right? I have a 3500 psi gas engine powered. I was thinking about this for cleaning the windows while out riding. Would it work for a window cleaner while out on the trails?

[@DavidFDay]

Yes it’s good for small jobs such as that but trying to wash a hole machine as muddy as mine and had dried on there is to much to ask for that washer.

[@danhillier534]

First off, all you guys referring too it as a "pressure" washer have too high of expectations for it. Even DeWalt refers too it as a "power" washer. Sure its not going too compare too a gas or big electric pressure washer, but i like mine too throw in the RV especially when intravel down too the Az. desert for winter. Its great for rinsing off the truck, bike, awning etc from the desert sand and dust. I already have batteries from other tools i carry so the convenience of it is awesome. I use a 7 gal. water jug i carry an even if a hose spigot isnt available, im good too go. Suits my needs just fine. I do have a more powerful electric "pressure" washer at home for the bigger jobs if i want too drag out the cords an hose, but like he said, this is ideal for quicker, smaller jobs.👍

[@kennethmanning1821]

I got my first portable battery pressure washer No name brand off amazon $60 bucks came with 2 batt did 5 made my money back plus extra 1st day .but i figured dewalt would be great

[@natashamcadam7335]

Wow SUPERB!~!!!!! I want it. why ppl complaint about it, it quite nice.

[@josephharrington3530]

In thinking it would have done better on your buggy if it wasnt caked on for 3 weeks. (Im guilty of that myself) The fast set up makes it interesting. Quicker than a bigger washer and better than just a water hose. Im heavily invested in the dewalt platform. Think I will order me one. I think $150 is worth tge gamble. Thanks for the videos!

[@DavidFDay]

Yes the SxS was to much for it. I think there is application where it will be great. I’m looking forward to using it more as soon as the weather warms up. Thanks for commenting

I bought this thing for small jobs and to keep from lugging out my big pressure washer. The performance was inconsistent. It would spray, stream, spit. Before I go on a long rant. Let me just say it's not worth the price point. 60-80 maybe but 150-200 for a cordless water hose is a bit steep. I will be returning mine.

[@DavidFDay]

I think DeWalt flubbed this one!! I’m hoping i can find some uses for it this spring and summer. Thanks for commenting

[@FusionBoost2.0]

That would be your pump not keeping up

[@darrenskinner5928]

Looks like dewalt needs to go back to the design team on that one good video David

[@DavidFDay]

I’m hoping I have better results when it gets warmer, that plastic piece that the garden hose screws onto kinda concerns me but that hose was cold snd stiff, when I hooked the siphon hose up it didn’t leak. Thanks for commenting

[@davidschlarp1606]

That "key" you saw is for cleaning out that turbo tip that wasn't working right. But that didn't seem to work as well as the orange tip but you got hung up on the name and wouldn't go back to it

[@TriumphR3man]

My pressure out of the wall moves more dirt. I'm taking mine back.

[@lcook0825]

Hope all is well David. I think 550psi is too small to handle the mud on our vehicle but looks great for small jobs.

[@DavidFDay]

Yes that job was to much!! Thanks for commenting

[@jeremys8360]

If you put the hose in a bucket of soapy water, might cut through the grime a little easier. Also, i think this isn’t the intended purpose. It’s more for people with little water access

[@anne.onymous5981]

Instructions say do NOT draw soapy water or cleaners through it (mabye damages the pump?) but you do have that soap dispenser to be used on the outlet.

[@bradorton3582]

That turbo tip as you call it is for use on patios / concrete , not paintwork 😂

[@CaseySexton]

Definitely not as strong as a gas or electric, but it's actually the best in its class right now. It'd be perfect for anyone not wanting to drag out the big pressure washer or for people like me who's had some horrible surgeries and are unable to lift or handle anything even a little bit heavy. Mine should be here in a few weeks since it's on backorder.

[@DavidFDay]

It will have its place and things it will be good for Thanks for commenting

[@davidr6585]

Glad I kept watching, I was about to just close the tab. I think everyone agrees it just sucked on the "side by side", did nice on the paver or concrete although wouldn't be good enough for a sidewalk. BUT! I was finally impressed at how it got the algae; or whatever, off the garage door. I 'spect it might be great for that and siding. I was ready to scrap the idea of this thing but may have second thoughts. Would probably do good on vinyl shutters too.

[@DavidFDay]

It has its uses, I bought the applicator from slick products that put soap out for washing SxS. Works good for that.

[@christophercrawford2736]

One thing I’ve discovered makes mine start spraying seems to be pointing it towards the sky.

[@DavidFDay]

I’m hoping when the weather warms up I’ll find some useful jobs for this.

[@christophercrawford2736]

@@DavidFDay I’m mainly going to use it for washing my car or my tools. I usually use my hand truck indoors but used it a couple days ago to move a fire pit for a friend. The grass was muddy and it got all stuck in the wheels and everything. Was super easy to wash that mud off the handtruck yesterday using the power cleaner. Probably would’ve had to use the hose inefficiently otherwise.

[@dwightdarcis5323]

Like any pressure washer's, you have to get the air out.

[@1badawg66]

I think it would work great if you did while mud wash fresh.

[@DavidFDay]

I think you are right. Thanks for commenting

[@konstantine381]

Everyone saying it won't replace gas or a plug in don't understand that you are paying for the convenience and portability. Besides that buggys pretty dirty and a quick spray of snow foam would have let that thing get it clean

how many r’s in wash? 😂

Might of missed it but how long does that battery last? I think it would be perfect for our fleet of trucks for a quick wash but wondering how long it will last.

[@DavidFDay]

I didn’t say in the video how long it lasted, i ran the battery down washing on the SxS. I did not run a timer on it. Thanks for commenting

[@iROMine]

Really you just wanna have some extra batteries on standby. more convenient than most things as long as you can swap batteries quick

[@jasoncash2008]

Thanks for the vid it confirms what I thought , it sucks lol.

[@hengineer]

I was hoping for a more portable power washer, but this doesn't look that effective. Maybe I'll wait for a version of two later, perhaps as a way to clean something with minimal water used compared to a normal hose. Its just way expensive for what it is.

[@DavidFDay]

It’s down on power

[@georgemyers6518]

I think that if had been pre-soaked it with a garden hose and nozzle it would have worked better.much more volume of water out of the garden hose for soaking and then peel it off with the pressure washer

[@CDTILL1471]

Looks like you can get more pressure from a regular garden hose and sprayer or Super Soaker water gun. Doesn’t seem like it’s worth the purchase.

It’s great for lite duty jobs

[@johnomalley8192]

so this is not a pressure washer. it is for light duty with a bucket when out and about. yes you get better pressure on the house hose. if you want a pressure washer it should start at 1600 psi not 500.

[@louindorato6855]

Did it come with the 6ah battery ?

[@DavidFDay]

I ordered tool only and bought my own batteries. I have 5-12ah then if i use them up and there charging i have 6-9ah to then put on an about 7= 6-ah all flex volt batteries. I have the new Milwaukee packable power station ordered. I’m addicted to battery power. Thanks for commenting

[@CkeithNitro]

If you use the foam cannon it comes with first, you would have better results

[@DavidFDay]

It doesn’t have the power to wash the SxS, other applications foam canon will work but not on SxS

[@1badhaircut]

I respect that you un-box it not knowing anything about it - raw honest INITIAL impressions. And they ARE correct. BUT -- geeze man - you were sucking AIR for more than the 1st half !! Etc. The turbo-tip -- IS poor quality - but good ones cost 30-40 dollars and want 800 psi 3000+ ….. I understand your dissatisfaction with it buddy but - imagine using a 357 magnum with 38 target loads - y’hear ?! Between what you don’t know AND what Dewalt doesn’t say the perception that it is junk is understandable but it’s got 1 🖐 tied-behind-it’s-back. And yes - the water connections are bad - true. Duuude … the tool itself is maybe C- out-of-the-box but actually a B.

[@brianpechan355]

I bought one of these and ended up taking it back the next day. It was a total piece of garbage. I could have spit water with more pressure. Better off just using a hose.

[@DavidFDay]

I just had trouble getting it tight enough. When I put the connection on for the hose that siphons from a bucket didn’t seem to leak has bad. I think it’s because that connection for a garden hose is plastic and the weight of the hose is a strain on the connection. I said at the beginning of the video that plastic connection for a garden hose concerned me. Thanks for commenting

[@620JK]

There are just some tools that the big brands shouldn't make or sell, this is one of them it seems like. The effort to setup and the cheap build quality, probably just better off with a small cheap power washer.

[@tri3pleagent]

Yes that’s correct. I’ve gotten back into mountain biking and it good for washing the bike off. Not to much power to push water into bearings.

I appreciate the attempt to go green, but we certainly are not there yet. This thing is not effective for dirt that is caked or dried on. It’s good for a regular car wash. The fittings are cheap and plastic. Go GAS!

$150, Residential 550 psi BATTERY POWERED Pressure washer that ONLY puts out 1GPM, I think for the price, quality, and for what it was meant for, the thing is a champ, what other brand can beat that for what it is and for the price?????? Any other brand, 3 or 4 pieces and you need house power. Unless Milwaukee whips one out of their ass, no one is touching this unit right now.

[@daviderickennedy2194]

You would do 100 better if you "wet" the whole thing down soap and water, let set for 10 minutes. Then the mud will fly off with the power wash.

[@buccos2004]

This tool seems like an option if you needed to clean something out in the woods with a 5 gallon bucket as the water source, it would be nice. Maybe like cleaning a tombstone with no water hookup around or use in a remote camp. But for home use, just using the hose seems like a better option.

You wasted too much of your battery power on rinsing without soap - so limited power drops and you can see it spin slower. Yes it’s not a gas or electric power BUT try carrying one of those babies out instead of just the gun -- and using them where there’s no way to use power or water supply and hose. PORTABLE vs. GAS POWERED ...... c’mon man.

[@gregorycasey2271]

That's just really weak , a few off brand ones have 750 psi . DeWalt used to be a top notch brand but are just mid pack with a so / so warranty . Even though I've got a bunch of their batteries I'm switching to Milwaukee after dealing with a broken two year old DeWalt weedeater and a drill that were lightly used around the house . My older DeWalt tools are still great but they seem to have decided to make everything as cheap as they can and then find any excuse not to warranty them after a year . The saws are about the only tool they have that are worth the money .
