Electric Pressure Washer, 3200 PSI Power Washer, Battery and Charger Not Included - HPW3200

Let's start with the obvious: this is a battery powered machine, and as such, it has a limited runtime on a single charge. If you are a person that needs to use a power washer for large projects and/or long periods of time in a single session, you probably do not want a battery powered machine. So if you plan on getting all of your power washing needs for the year done in a single weekend, this is probably not for you. But if you are like me, and get in an hour here and an hour there throughout the year, then read on.... Out of the box: Set up is very easy. You need a Phillips screw driver to attach the wand mounts, but that is the only tool you need. Total time from unboxing to useable is about 15 minutes...but you will want to get the batteries charged first, so figure 2 hours. Use: VERY easy to use. Simply attach to a water supply hose, choose your nozzle, hit the power and go. I have not used the siphon function or the foam spray, so I have no comment on those accessories. I imagine that the siphon feature, which allows you to draw water from a pond, a pool, a barrel, or other standing water source, might be very important for a portable battery powered unit, but I personally don't have a need for these features and therefore have not used them. Portability: The unit is easily portable and relatively light weight without the batteries. There is an area of my property that is only accessible from the interior of my home, so I have to lug the power washer through my house and up stairs. With this unit I can do this easily and not worry about spilling gas or getting any odors from a gasoline engine in my house. I also don't have to worry about extension cords which would be needed for a plug-in unit. Runtime: I have been consistently getting 40 minutes of nearly continuous runtime on two fully charged 6 Ah batteries (supplied with the unit) when I operate in the "HIGH" setting. I have not needed to operate in the "Turbo" setting, but based on other reviews and the owners manual, continuous operation in "TURBO" will reduce runtime to 15-20 minutes, but I have not confirmed this. "ECO" mode, which I have not been using, should get you to a full hour of continuous use, but again, I have not confirmed this. Performance: Bottom line...OUTSTANDING. Better than any plug-in electric washer I have used. Not as good as some of the best gas powered washers I have used, but honestly you cannot expect it to be. At the end of the day, this unit has more than enough pressure (psi) and water throughput (gallons/hour) to handle the vast majority of a home owners tasks. Leaks: I have read some other reviews that complain about the poor fit of the quick releases and subsequent leakage. I have not seen this problem. I haven't seen a single drip from any of the fittings so far with my use, even when I left the unit attached to a pressured water supply overnight. Other: I love that the nozzles fit right into the top of the unit for easy storage and accessibility. Batteries: The unit comes with two 6 Ah, 56 V batteries. You MUST use two fully charged batteries in the unit at the same time. Don't even think about using only one battery or mixing a partially charged battery with a fully charged one..the unit will run, but runtime will be limited to the lowest charged battery. And do NOT mix and match batteries...probably only an issue for those of you who have other EGO products that might use a 2.5 Ah, 4 Ah or 5 Ah battery. Be sure to ONLY use the 6 Ah batteries together as a pair, and that they are fully charged when you start. I suspect that some of the battery runtime complaints are a result of not using both batteries at a full charge, mixing batteries or only using one battery. Summary: I don't need, nor do I want, to be power washing for hours at a time. My needs require portability, cleanliness and performance for relatively short (approximately 30 minute) projects a few times a week. This EGO unit fits perfectly into that niche. From a performance and ease of use perspective, it is way better than my last two plug-in electric power washers. I have used gas powered washers that were better from a speed of cleaning perspective, but there isn't anything that the EGO hasn't been able to clean for me at this point..with the caveat that it may take a bit more time. Cons: 1. Expensive...seriously expensive. One can easily get the same power washing performance for less than half the price. So you are paying a lot for the portability. 2. Only comes with one battery charger...this is ridiculous considering the cost of the unit and that it requires two batteries. EGO should definitely ship this unit with two chargers so you can charge both batteries simultaneously. That being said, if you buy this washer, you likely have other EGO equipment and therefore are not short on chargers. 3. Limited runtime...again, this is inherent to any battery powered piece of equipment. If you need hours of continuous runtime, either buy more batteries or select a plug-in electric or gas powered unit. Hope this helps!

I replaced my gas pressure washer with the EGO Pressure Washer 3200 psi. My gas pressure washer worked great when I could get it started. It just got to be too difficult for me. I have owned several other EGO products for several years + and have been very happy with them. While the washer is higher-priced, it was an easy decision for me to buy it. The EGO products are all very well-built and perform beautifully, just about as well as their gas counterparts. My experience right out of the box was very good. Assembly was easy with just a Phillips screwdriver needed for two mounts. Everything else is already assembled such as the handle and the wheels. The handle pulls up to whatever height is convenient. The wheels roll the washer along easily. There are battery power indicator lights as well as the power setting indicator on the trigger. It comes with two wands to attach to one another. Quick release connectors are incorporated. Several tips for a variety of applications are included. Lastly, you won't need your ear protection, just safety glasses. There was a long, ugly set of tire tracks from an oil fuel truck left from it struggling to get through ice on a slight incline. I used my pressure washer detergent for concrete in the included foam applicator and let it set for a few minutes. I then attached the Turbo tip and pressed the Turbo button and watched the tire tracks almost magically disappear. Since I have some high-capacity batteries I was able to insert two of them and get through the entire job successfully. It is important to have at least two 6.0 Ah batteries (as come with the pressure washer with batteries). Con: While the pressure for washing is great, the 1.2 gpm for rinsing is slow, slower than gas models. Also, while 1.2 gpm works adequately with a surface cleaner (I purchased a 15" version) it is not as effective or quick as a 2.5 gpm or higher unit with the higher volume of water. All said, this pressure washer is great for smaller home jobs and will pay for itself.

Fantastic washer. Works very well. All features work as advertised. It has good power and easily cleaned my sidewalk and house siding. Battery life is a bit short I'd say. While the batteries last long enough not to make it a problem, they do need recharging after about an hour of hard use.

Love this DC pressure washer with longer hose than my electric washer. I like the controls on the handle for changing pressure. When cleaning boulders in my garden, I can reduce power when I clean near ground cover. It is really heavy so I wheel it out and install batteries once I have it in place. (It does help that wheels are large.) Battery life is short when using on highest pressure so I have 2 extra batteries. Yes, it was expensive but so much easier to use without the struggle of moving around with watering hose AND power cord. Cleaning power is superior to my electric pressure washer. I have a SunJoe circular attachment to use on this machine for cleaning the street swale making for speedy cleaning.

wow I'm not really sure what I expected from this high-pressure washer. I know you're supposed to read the manual before you use a piece of equipment but I am a guy and we typically don't do that. It was obvious and easy to set up at every level. The only thing I missed was the fact that the handle actually extends out which would've been handy moving it around as I am in a wheelchair. Once I figured the handle out, man was it easy to move around when you're stuck in a wheelchair. I also wasn't totally sure how that hose with the filter on would really work taking water from a pale rather than having to hook up to City water pressure. I was a little pessimistic thinking that it was just a frill that I'm probably would neve. use. Boy was I wrong. The pump drew water from that pale easily & it has incredible pressure worked really well and even though it was only a 2 1/2 gallon pail lasted a surprisingly long time. All the connecters make and break easily. The over 3000 psi pressure made short work of all of the pigeon poop that was all over my deck. When disassembling the unit so as to store away at my front door of my house for the summer, draining lines and the wand and the special suction hose were easy and happened very quickly. I store all of the accessories in a blue bin that I purchased from our Canadian superstore that is normally used for collecting groceries in. It's the perfect size and it's waterproof. Without reservation I would recommend anybody to buy this unit.

Love this ego pressure washer. Ego never disappoints. I used 2 5ah batteries and lasted about 30 minutes. You can use 1 battery and it will run half the time. I will probably invest in 2 more batteries. The only thing I wished that the wheels swivel so it would be easier to maneuver.

I gave this my daughter: lighter than gaz operators, less pollution, no fuel in gazebo. All her outside motor operated are electrical and ver y light, snow blowers weed trimmer etc

Be cautious when purchasing this product. It does not come with batteries, and this detail is not clearly stated. Additionally, finding compatible batteries can be challenging, and purchasing batteries with a charger may double the overall cost of the product. Many similar products specify 'tools only' or 'batteries not included,' so make sure to check the details carefully before buying.

Love it so far. Big jobs take time. But having to have extra batteries and time is made up for it by being portable
