TOP 5 good mid-range pressure washers with a foam gun

Garden tool Gartner captivates the average consumer with a winning combination of price and functionality, no matter how trite it may sound. A striking example of this is the PWA-2136 T touchless car wash.

The model is supposed to be used on a personal plot for cleaning facade walls from dirt, keeping sidewalk paths clean, washing garden tools, bicycles and cars. The key to an excellent result in the fight against mud deposits without unnecessary gestures is the high outlet pressure (up to 170 bar). It is pumped by a powerful 2100 W electric motor.

The sink draws water from the water supply line and is able to suck water from separate tanks. To prevent sand and small pebbles from entering the internal mechanisms, the unit was armed with a mechanical coarse filter at the inlet. Also on-board equipment Gartner PWA-2136 T included an 8-meter high-pressure hose with a winding drum, transport wheels and a spray gun with a Total Stop system(water flows out of it as long as the pressure jet button is pressed).

The model implements the ability to quickly change nozzles on the "tip of the tail" of the gun, which are fastened with threaded connections. Out of the box, the sink comes with a jet nozzle (allows you to get various water jets - from point to fan), a turbo mud cutter and a foam nozzle (with a built-in tank for chemistry). Only the solid weight of the assembly (under 18 kg) can not please. But with an eye to the price tag of the sink, this shortcoming is certainly not critical.

In the segment of low-cost household high-pressure cleaners, the Huter W195-ARW is on the first lines of the podium. This is due to the number "195" in the expanded naming of the model, which indicates the maximum pressure of the water jet in bars.

For many surfaces to be treated, such a strong jet may be redundant. Fortunately, the pressure indicator at the outlet of the gun nozzle can be tightened. This is true, for example, when caring for a faithful "iron horse" - a more gentle spray will leave the car's paintwork intact. The metal pump of the washing unit pumps under the influence of a 2500-watt drive up to 7 liters of water in 1 minute.

Many procedures for cleaning surfaces from contamination are not complete without the use of detergents. Chemistry will come in handy when washing windows, car body, etc. A tank for detergent in the form of a separate nozzle for a spray gun is attached to the mini-wash as standard. At the same time, fan and mud nozzles go into the load to the device.

Drawing parallels with "classmates", the model got a shorter high-pressure hose (5 m). The cord has the same length. Devices for winding their excess are included in the equipment of the sink from the factory. The small length of the HP hose is compensated by the light weight of the washing unit (less than 10 kg in running order) and the presence of transport wheels along with a grippy handle.

When it comes to cleaning equipment, sinks of the German "breed" Karcher immediately come to mind. They are easily recognizable against the background of their peers by their bright yellow color and cope "on one or two" with the most motley pollution.

Model K 4 Promo Basic Car, as you might guess from the name, was created with an eye for washing your own car. It comes with a soft brush and a foam nozzle. There is no separate tank for chemicals along with a foam nozzle - the neck of a bottle with branded car shampoo is screwed directly to it.

The pronounced sharpness for car washing is not the only scope for creativity of Karcher K 4 Promo Basic Car. The unit is also suitable for cleaning the entire perimeter of the infield from dirt. The water jet at the outlet of the gun nozzle of the device is supplied with a force of 20 to 130 bar. You can adjust the power of its supply by turning the “head” of the Vario Power jet nozzle. The most stubborn dirt can be easily removed by a jet from a special cutter.

The model is equipped with a quick “docking” system for a 6-meter Quick Connect hose, a built-in fine water filter (for a self-priming pump), transport wheels and a convenient carrying handle. Another important aspect is the compact dimensions (30x31x87 cm) and the low weight of the device (only 6.7 kg), thanks to which even a fragile girl can master working with it.

The Swedish company Stiga has made a name for itself in lawn mower manufacturing. Also in the portfolio of its products there are other devices for the garden front, in particular, the powerful minisink HPS 345 R.

The design of the washing unit is thought out to the smallest detail. Judge for yourself, it has a high base and a telescopic handle, which is made for ease of transportation, a built-in "parking place" for a spray gun, a reel for an 8-meter high-pressure hose, a separate device for winding the power cord. The minisink carries everything necessary for work on its own “hump”.

The electric motor of the device with a power of 2100 W ensures the productivity of the aluminium pump at the level of 360 to 450 l / h. In this case, the maximum pressure at the outlet of the spray gun nozzle reaches 145 bar. Such a powerful jet of water washes away stubborn dirt deposits on almost any type of surface. And complete nozzles will help to direct it in the right direction: fan, mud and a foam gun tank with a capacity of 400 ml.

The sink "produces" water both from the water supply and from separate containers in the manner of a barrel, a large bucket, an artificial reservoir. In order to avoid failure of internal components, a mesh filter is installed at the "suction" inlet. An additional trump card in the model's sleeve is the Total stop system, which automatically turns off the miniwash 30 seconds after releasing the gun trigger. The device is rightfully ranked among the detachment of hard nuts of the middle level, clearly fulfilling its goals.

The Bosch Advanced Aquatak 140 model opens a series of sinks of a semi-professional class under the sign of the German brand. Its assets include a powerful electric motor of 2200 W, the function of self-suction of water from external tanks, and high performance of the supply of water masses. But first things first.

The device is assembled in a mobile "body" of a serious weight category (22.9 kg). Wheels and a height-adjustable handle are provided for the convenience of transporting the sink along the perimeter of the land. Also among the visible advantages of the model are a reel for winding excess high-pressure hose of 7 meters in length and a case for attaching a spray gun.

As usual, the most interesting thing is hidden from sight “under the hood” of the washing unit. And this is the aforementioned engine that transfers energy to the shaft of a metal pump. The minisink is characterized by a water consumption of 8 l/min. (480 l / h), the possibility of supplying heated water masses (temperatures up to 40 ° C), direct supply of detergent from a special tank for chemistry.

The operator of the device has the right to resort to the services of various nozzles for solving problems of cleaning surfaces: rotary and fan. In case of overheating, the model has an auto-shutoff function. As a result, Bosch Advanced Aquatak 140 can be safely recommended to everyone living in country houses. This reliable "workhorse" will help without any hassle to maintain a tidy appearance of the personal plot, will help in washing the car and other tasks of cleaning the treated surfaces from contamination.

Washing PW 345C under the sign of the Swedish brand Husqvarna belongs to the segment of semi-professional cleaning units. With a stream of water under high pressure (up to 145 bar at the peak of its capabilities), it washes away any contamination from the treated surfaces.

The model is equipped with a powerful 2400 W motor that drives a powerful metal pump. It's no joke, up to 550 liters of water masses are driven through it in an hour. To spray water, an 8-meter high-pressure hose with a spray gun at the end is introduced into the design of the washing machine.

Complete nozzles (fan mud and foam with a tank for chemistry) are put on the tip of the "tail" of the aforementioned gun. But the hose reel of the model was “not delivered” - it will have to be wound on the horns from the back of the device case. Husqvarna PW 345C takes water for operation both from the water supply system and from separate tanks(provided that the maximum suction height does not exceed 1 m).

For ease of movement of the sink, transportation wheels and a convenient handle are provided. A separate plus in karma goes to the model for the built-in compartment for storing the attached accessories. And although the unit is more expensive than "classmates", the money for its purchase will not be spent in vain - the mini-sink captivates with its high efficiency and reliability of work in everyday life.
