Going Cordless might be the best move you could make right now.

If you’re interested in the convenience and mobility of a cordless model, but want a little more power and runtime than a typical battery-powered machine, We recommend this EGO model. Right out of the box, We were immediately impressed with the overall build quality of this sturdy little machine, especially compared to the lighter-duty Craftsman and Sun Joe machines.

We really liked the metal components of the wand and the user-friendly quick-connect adaptors on the high-pressure hose. The easily accessible nozzle storage was another nice perk, as well as the fact that the dedicated rinse and soap nozzles connected to the handle itself, instead of the end of the wand (making them a lot easier to direct and maneuver). Assembly was practically nonexistent, requiring just a quick attachment of the wand holder (using the four included screws), and the telescoping handle and wheels made it easy to traverse curbs and grassy lawns.

With no power or extension cords to deal with, setting up the EGO Power+ was easier than other types of pressure washers, and with its included siphon hose, you can draw water from a bucket or other fresh water source, making it ideal for tasks like mobile car detailing or washing a boat at a dock. For extended projects, EGO’s 60-minute runtime claim seems accurate enough in our testing, but only at lower pressure, and full-on turbo mode will drain the batteries in about 15 minutes. Even so, its mobility and ease of use make it a strong contender for tackling bigger cleaning jobs in areas far from an outlet.

Hands-on Review:

While the HPW3204-2’s 3200 PSI rating is impressive for a battery-powered washer, we still wouldn’t recommend it for heavy-duty concrete cleaning, since the high output needed for those jobs drains the batteries too quickly to be practical. Instead, this machine would be best suited for larger-scale, small to medium-duty projects like long stretches of decking, washing vehicles, patio furniture sets, and light siding work: jobs where its cordless mobility and strong performance really pay off.

Conclusion

With a 5-year tool warranty, 3-year battery warranty, and compatibility with other EGO POWER+ tools, it’s the best cordless option we’ve tested for bigger jobs that still demand a decent amount of power. We would definitely recommend it to anyone going towards cordless pressure washers for their home or work/job sites as long as it’s not too demanding, for that we would 100% recommend Industrial pressure washers which you can learn more about by clicking HERE
