Makita HW001G Pressure Washer Review. Are Battery Water Blasters any good?

[@riba2233]

It is always a great day when we get a new xgt tool review from you 😊 This one looks powerful enough and seems surprisingly quiet.

[@Ibsonlovesyou]

I've been waiting for this review! I like the look of it. I wanted something to chuck in the van and use mobile on site and also use around the farm on chicken coops etc. where I cant get water hoses. I would not want to use it on a full size tractor or large implements... but I think for small jobs and sites its great.

[@toolscientist]

That drop-off at low voltage would drive me mad. Wish they'd made it constant power. As another commenter said, 80V would have been better. The 80V vac got a decent boost in both power and runtime, so we'd see similar here. Don't like all the nooks and crannies on it that would make it hard to clean. Be nice if they designed it to be wearable as a backpack with a little 10L tank. The one thing they did well was noise. Hard to appreciate over video, but it seems crazy quiet. Electrics are already much quieter than petrol, but this seemed so much quieter than any electric I've used. I wonder how they did it?

[@spreaddeezhazelnutz7511]

With it being brushless, that can cut the noise down a lot. I'm sure that Makita also dampened the motor and pump assembly to prevent the tool body from amplifying noise coming from those vibrations.

[@Twitchesbad]

I have to say I am impreesed and this is far and away the best cordless P.W I have seen to date. I knew the quoted pressure values were not true as nigh on all p.w manufacturers never quite true working/operating pressures barring Kranzle from memory. Seems to give the performance equivalent of a 1.8-2kw corded model. I certainly could use for some business and def domestic jobs. Cell and battery developments will only see these get better regards performance and runtime

[@brendanmullen751]

I’ve used makita my whole career and it’s cool that they’re doing out of the ordinary stuff like this, but they really need to bring out some nailers and a cordless table saw because now that red brand has a track saw I don’t have a lot of reasons to not switch over.

[@andreibalean]

Same for me, i wish they will do a nailer at least as good as Milwaukee and a table saw at least like Dewalt.

[@wearsjorge55]

Battery adapter or just buy the nailer in a kit with charger and battery. They put the bloody thing on sale all the time. Same with the hikoki which is probably the better deal because for the same price you'll get a brad nailer too

[@The_Silver_Pharaoh]

Ay u heard about the new 18v framing nailer

[@richiejames928]

I don’t have a use case for this but maybe if I lived on a lot of land with alot of motorised toys I suppose it could be handy for pre service wash downs. could be handy for a mobile mechanic in that sense.

[@nicoquattro3950]

Great review as always mate But I dont know. Battery pressure washer? You have to run a garden hose anyway, so a cable drum additionally wont hurt that much. They could have made a really good corded one. The Kaercher washers are junk, on quite a few models the brass pump housings break and they leak really fast. Just my two cents. Anyway. Will you review the UV001G?

[@kforce2011]

Great concept but unfortunately the performance just does not stack up to even the cheapest $120 karcher you can buy

[@kizzjd9578]

Especially when you have a water source, you usually have a power source as well.

[@toolscientist]

@@kizzjd9578 28:00 it can draw from a bucket, so can be run cordless and hoseless. Would be handy for washing cars, bikes, and farm equipment as T&S said.

[@aaronoconnor606]

​@@toolscientistover priced

[@kizzjd9578]

@@toolscientist oh yea fair enough!

[@toolscientist]

@kizzjd9578 I hadn't looked at the price until aaron mentioned it, though. $1200 dollary-doos is a lot for a little bit of convenience. Will be a very niche tool at that price.

[@tristanpatterson3843]

Just here for water blasting paths. You should make a dedicated channel.

[@micahmaoney4602]

Dude this would be fantastic for HVAC work cleaning condensing coils outside. I’m the supervisor at a mid-rise complex with individual heat pumps on the roof and I might pick this girl up to do some PM’s.

[@edamamebiru3960]

Great video and great tool.😇 Thanks. I bought the exact same Makita device last week with two 5Amp batt. I still struggle to get the optimum power when using water from a bucket because I always have air in the intake hose water. I still need to figure out how to remove that air and also if the bucket needs to be above the Makita Pressure washer ( Makita tool on the ground and bucket in the trunck) or both on the ground.

[@grazierguy]

Best way is to have the bucket higher than the pressure washer, completely submerse the suction hose in the bucket, then hold your thumb over the end of the hose as you bring it from the bucket to connect to the pressure washer so the water wants to siphon down into it.

[@edamamebiru3960]

Great, I will try. Thank you for your time and explanation! @@grazierguy

[@djkarcher1896]

The quick connect fitting seals against pressure, but not against suction. You could try using a screw-on fitting. Bit more annoying to install, but you won't get any air into the system. Also put a rock into the bucket on top of the suction hose. Should solve the problem.

[@rhystudordavies]

Had the Bosch AQT 40-13 for a few years, it's excellent. Plenty powerful runs at 130 / 1885psi but only downside is the need for an extension cord and getting the cord and the hose tangled. Shame I'm on 18v with nothing 40v. Sticking with what I have for now. Be nice if Hikoki bring out this on 36v or Makita do a twin/quad 18v x 2 variation.

[@spreaddeezhazelnutz7511]

I believe that Makita do have a 18x2 pressure washer. Machinery Nation on KZbin reviewed one in a four-way comparison video. It might have to be something you need to import though.

[@Driver10011]

Will you be releasing a review on the XGT 12” miter saw? You’ve hinted at it a few times.

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Nearly done...

[@EliotTruelove]

The fact that this is the first 40v pressure washer means they may make an 80v model, but given the runtime isnt fantastic probably not. I could see this being on a pole and brush system for window cleaning with Reverse osmosis water, seem like it would be the perfect use case for it.

[@monbaby77]

for the price wise, this can buy ryobi 36v 2000psi pressure washer with a full set of battery and charger. Ryobi has even more powerful psi... I expected more for xgt model.. like Ego 54v 3800psi model.

[@rhystudordavies]

New Makita tool idea.. how about a cordless steam cleaner for indoor cleaning? Metal tank, fill it with boiling water and batteries keep it up to temp. Be cool to see one in the future patents.

[@БулатБасыров-у2щ]

С МАКИТОЙ всегда чистота и порядок. А с Вашими видосами всегда в курсе МАКИТЫ Thank you Булатный лайк мой👍

[@jasonburrows2528]

Hey Tools, Can I ask a question of You or the Chat,? What does the green light on my 40v track ready skilsaw mean?

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

The green light shows when the tool is under load. The tool slows allowing more torque to complete your cut without bogging down.

[@Phil-The-Gardener]

I help at a stable where there is no electric so this would be ideal

[@kamalkaur6227]

some time pressure does not work and takes more time so brushing is the option.

[@toolscientist]

17:57 PETA is coming for you!

[@edamamebiru3960]

Poor spider ... I thought the same.

[@Meauss]

So dags are like runny dingleberries?

[@thasiwat]

Can I use the bottle of water with this machine?

[@moviesynopsis001]

Yes, he said you can use a bucket since its self priming

[@robertrada4783]

I don’t understand half of these sequential battery 40v products. Why is it not 80v? Lights I get.

[@donalexey]

You should definitely check the professional version from Karcher. If I remember right, it is 2x36V parallel and it is more powerful than that one.

[@kamalkaur6227]

1.can some body tell me,if the pump is designed for positve suction pressure or self priming. 2.how long the battery will stay. 3. degree of protection of washer againt water splashes.

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

That's why I made a review. The video has the answers.

[@aaronoconnor606]

I have a cheap greenworks 3000 psi electric pressure washer pulg in with a cord has a brushless motor in it its a fantastic tool for the price. Makita needs to make a real 80v one this a bit of a disappointment

[@edthelizzard]

"you can water blast your deck...", not something one aspires to do. Not with that pronunciation of "deck" anyway, no.

[@beatrixkills1]

Your accent really makes it sound like we can water blast something besides a deck.

[@kentslobbe664]

Forget about the microwave, the coffee machine, water blaster…….. where’s the “Makita 40v Table Saw”……………?

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

My next review is a table saw... I promise.

[@riba2233]

​@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL😱😱😱

[@almusic4276]

This machine is good for ur flowers

[@JonathanDiaz-ye9ir]

“I got chicken shit on my deck”

[@highestperception]

Should have been 80v they already have a 36v version of this.

[@whya2ndaccount]

Ah visited the frogs in the old quarry near the new showground eh.

[@jaycehezekia441]

nice water hose

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Oh shucks, thank you 😊

[@tomc3965]

Makitas pricing is absolutely ridiculous on there stuff

[@Junk4508]

Why didn't they add plug-in capability? Because it's Makita.

[@uberwayz]

Just looks like yet another tool that Makita have made underpowered, when they could have just made it 80v

[@toolscientist]

Pretty much all of their dual-battery sequential tools should have been 80V. The only tool where sequential makes sense is the cooler/warmer as it lets you run continuously. Every other tool (mower, vac, this) I'd rather have the extra power of 80V and stop and change batteries when flat. No one is going to hot-swap batteries on a mower or this (maybe on the vac, but that would be rare)

[@gogohoffman]

Water blast our what? 😂😂

[@johnwsmethurst3796]

Although I am an avid makita fan/ buyer that machine is nowhere near as good as the karcher John.s Manchester England
