A high pressure washer is indispensable if you need to wash deeply ingrained dirt, clean the facade of a building or car after a trip along a country road in the rain. It is useful for cleaning garden paths, household equipment, and is also able to replace dry cleaning for the carpet. The rating of high-pressure washers was compiled from the materials of the Yandex.Market website, taking into account the rating of models, their popularity, reliability and customer reviews.
We selected the best household car washes from different manufacturers, optimal in price / quality.
10. Elitech M 1500P
Average price: 5,400 rubles.
The Elitech M 1500P model opens the rating of high-pressure washers in 2017 with a budget cost. This compact household model is capable of developing a pressure of up to 100 bar, the water consumption is up to 360 l / h, and it consumes very little electricity - up to 1.5 kW. The small length of the hose and wire (up to 5 m), however, can complicate the process of washing large objects. For optimal use, it is better to buy a cleaning filter and a foam generator, which will increase the price of washing by about 1,500 rubles.
9. Bosch GHP 5-13 C Professional
Average cost: 20,000 rubles.
A small sink weighing about 16 kg, equipped with wheels, which greatly facilitates its movement. The pressure reaches 130 bar, the water flow rate is up to 500 l / h, the housing is high-quality, brass threaded connections, and ceramic pistons.
Minus: there is no foam generator in the kit, you have to buy it. However, “native” foam generators in sinks are rarely successful.
8. Nilfisk-ALTO Compact C 130.1-6 X-TRA
Average price: 13,200 rubles.
Household sink with a pressure of up to 130 bar and a flow rate of 440 l / h. Despite the reasonable price, the sink’s pump is aluminum, which is rarely the case with sinks of this price category. A powerful set of water, coupled with a mud cutter, can clean old ingrained dirt, and the pressure regulator allows you to effectively flush the engine.
7. Portotecnica Elite 2840 T
Average cost: 52,000 rubles.
If the previous places in the top 10 pressure washers were occupied by household models, then the Portotecnica Elite 2840 T is a professional-level sink. The pressure is adjustable in the range from 30 to 190 bar, and the water flow reaches 780 l / s. The robust brass body with ceramic pistons and stainless steel valves is durable and tough. A great option for a car workshop, but motorists should think about whether it is necessary to overpay for excess power.
6. Stihl RE 128 Plus
Price, average: 56,600 rubles.
A car wash with great capabilities: powerful (pressure up to 150 bar, water supply up to 500 l / h), and you can wash it with hot water (up to 60 degrees), there is a protection system with automatic shutdown. The kit includes a conventional nozzle, a rotary nozzle, a filter and a foam set. The quality of the latter leaves much to be desired, and it is recommended to replace it immediately.
Stihl RE 128 Plus also has disadvantages: a useless nozzle for foam (a very high consumption of detergent is obtained), and exactingness to storage conditions. When "parking" in the winter in a cold place, you must definitely check the device for lack of water.
5. Hutler W165-QL
You can buy for 8,000 rubles.
A small but rather heavy mini-washer with a pressure of up to 165 bar and a water supply of 375 l / h. A moderate power consumption of 1.9 kW will not overload the network, and hot (up to 50 degrees) water, complete with nozzles, will wash off almost any dirt.
Minus: its own foam generator works frankly poorly, and the high-pressure hose is only 5 m long. But the low price, coupled with the technical characteristics, allows the sink to take fifth place in the ranking of high pressure washers for cars and more.
4. Oleo-Mac PW 121 C
Cost, on average: 15,000 rubles.
An economical sink with optimal water consumption (pressure up to 120 bar, water consumption 360 l / h, heating up to 40 degrees) and electricity consumption of only 1.6 kW. The aluminum body of the sink is lightweight, easy to move, the length of the hose is 6 meters and it is quite enough for domestic use. There are useful options like automatic shutdown when overheating, an input filter and a large number of nozzles.
3. Lavor Pro Raptor 21
Can be purchased for 13,000 rubles.
Unlike other models of high pressure washers (and even more expensive), this one has a hose reel - it seems to be a trifle, but it’s convenient. Pressure regulation allows you to supply water under the desired pressure, and sufficiently high characteristics (pressure up to 145 bar, water flow 450 l / h) serve as a guarantee that any, even the most old dirt will be cleaned. The weight of the sink is 17 kg, there are wheels, and the hose is 6 meters long.
2. Oleo-Mac PW 136 C
Average price: 17,000 rubles.
The highlight of the model in its interesting design, bright and memorable. Compared to the fourth place in the rating, the PW 136 C is more powerful (pressure up to 140 bar, water consumption 410 l / h), but it consumes a little more electricity - up to 2 kW. It is mobile, the shape of the case and the presence of wheels make it easy to move it if necessary (hose length 6 meters, which is enough for most household tasks). The sink is not very noisy, there is a hose reel. In terms of price / quality ratio, this is one of the best high pressure washers for the car and not only.
1. Karcher K5 Full Control
It is offered, on average, for 21,400 rubles.
And the first place in the ranking of the best high-pressure washers of 2017 is occupied by the product of the Karcher company, popular in Russia. The pressure regulator allows you to supply water in the range from 20 to 145 bar, and a water flow of 500 l / h will allow you to wash even large areas in a short time. Compared to price analogues, the hose is slightly larger (8 meters), for it there is a convenient reel and a fine filter in the kit. An additional convenience - the gun has an LED display.
