Giraffe Tools Grandfalls Pressure Washer, Wall Mounted Power
Giraffe Tools Grandfalls Pressure Washer, Wall Mounted Power Washer with Retractable Pressure Hose, 150 bar, Adjustable Nozzle, Power Washer for Patio/Car/Driveway/Home Cleaning
Do I need a good water pressure for this pressure washer to work?
All needed is regular hose water pressure. The unit itself builds powerful pressure.
Does the length of hose effects water pressure?
The retractable pressure hose is 30m long and when you let out most of the hose, yes the pressure will be effected to some extend.
Is it difficult to assemble?
Not much assembly needed in this unit, only takes up 10 minute or less.
To extend the unit’s lifespan, what should I do?
Please release the pressure by shutting off the machine and open the nozzle to empty the hose before finish using. Never let it run for 3 minutes or more without using the spray gun. Also, it is recommeded to take the unit indoors before winter.

I don’t know why there aren’t more of these around.
Easy to install and no getting tangled up with extension leads and hose pipes, great for washing cars.
I had a problem with the first unit after about 3 months, which was replaced without quibble…Great customer service.
I cannot wait to get this beastly pressure washer wall mounted.
I am no pressure washer expert. I have owned a few different makes over the years and used them for things like flags, driveways , wheelie bins and cars. This machine is outstanding in comparison.
It is made from what appears to be quality material. It feels very sturdy and robust.
In my opinion it is as described. Easy enough to set up so long as one reads the simple to follow instructions that come with it.
Delighted with the automatic shut off when the trigger is not engaged. It works as described too.
If one is looking to invest in a good quality well thought of item then look no further that this Wall mounted Grandfalls Pressure Washer by Giraffe.
I hope my photos and short video aid in your decision making.
Seems to be a great all round machine for the price. Time will tell for reliability but first impressions are good
This is a top rated pressure washer, i knew it was decent as soon as i opened it, it’s all very well made and sturdy/
As soon as i got it set up and the wall mount attached, i washed my car and it done a superb job, the next day i was washing my mothers car, i need to start charging people haha!
You can tell this will last for years, it’s all well built and put together.
Completely worth the 299.99 price tag.

First impression was this is bigger than what i was expecting and its also heavy so while this can be wall mounted and you do receive all the wall plugs and bolt required to make sure the unit stays on the wall i unfortunately was unable to test the wall fixtures provided.
Its also worth noting that if you do mount this outside in order to prolong the life it would be wise to remove the pressure washer and leave it indoors during the winter months.
With that aside i did like the pressure washer i liked the fact that if you wall mount the unit then you can use 30 meters of reel which is around 100 meters so there’s plenty of reel in order to move around the garden, clean your car etc without actually getting tangled or tripping over the hose and reel of the pressure washer.
Another neat feature is that the reel when you pull it out will lock into place, so before you start your job you can reel out as much cable as you need and when you finish using the pressure washer you can pull the reel out and it should retract the reel and winds back neatly on the reel holder.
The power cord is around 2 meters long which for me was good enough the unit didn’t actually move however, i felt it will be good enough for most people needs.
The gun its lightweight yet very plastic to be fair i wouldn’t say its easy to break but you can tell its not the best quality. I felt what could have been improved is the trigger it did have some play and probably to much movement.
The lance is metal on the other hand and the quality was alot better which i liked alot compared to more popular brands where there entry-level pressure washers lancers are plastic. Its a standard connection which you see on most pressure washers where you screw the lance into the gun.
The tip of the lance has a quick release which was easy to use and change tips fairly quickly. You do receive a rotatable jet nozzle which works fine however, if you are looking to upgrade this then you can use a 1/4 inch nozzles.
To quickly give a run down of the unit itself which i felt was good in quality it have the built-in system, the side panels are plastic these are where the handles are placed, on the right side you have the orange power on/off button with the left side the water inlet connection.
You do get a water inlet hose so this can always be connected if you have access to leave it connected or if you want to use another water source instead of using an outdoor valve.
In practice this pressure washer was really good i felt the water pressure was high however, as stated 150 bar pressure while this is more powerful and i could feel the difference to my nilfsk which is 110 bar i couldn’t test to see if this was indeed accurate.
I did 2 test 1. unreeling the whole reel priming before use and the 2nd. unreeling enough for what i needed then priming before use and both test i was happy with the pressure they both felt exactly the same.
my nilfsk is more than capable in removing the grime of my garden paths and patio, yet while using the giraffe pressure washer i could see that this moved the grime more easily and effortlessly which made the work quicker overall something i was happy about.
one thing i wanted to highlight as Ive seen a fair amount of people do is once they have finished with the pressure washer they roll the hose up before removing the pressure and if you want this to last you will need to do this before winding the reel back.
The foam cannon that comes with the kit isn’t actually all that bad its way better than the ones that comes with the popular brands its uses the quick disconnect so its easy to connect and remove and the foam that comes out while isn’t brilliant if you are going to use this to wash the car for example is still good enough to do the job however, some might want to replace this if you want the foam to be a little more thicker.
The does have a TSS which is a total stop system so when the gun isn’t depressed the system should either have pressure or you don’t and this should help cut down on usage while also prolonging the life of the unit.
Overall while i liked this product alot i felt the 30m reel was abit excessive, if your looking for a pressure washer that can make use of the whole garden, front of the house etc then this would be a good purchase. If your sole purpose is to detail your car and its no more than a few feet away then maybe look into giraffe tools other pressure washers offering.
The like the pressure it provided this product can clean anything you throw at it as it feels powerful although not on a commercial sense yet will do perfectly for the home user.
The retractable feature is really good and easy to use while also less messing about.
Its wall mountable you don’t have to carry the unit with you.
i wished they included some nozzles to go along with this product to make it more versatile however, these can be purchased separately and there 1/4 inch.
The quality of the unit is very good for the price at 299 so i would recommend this as an entry-level pressure washer.
At the time of review amazon do have a 50 voucher making this better value for the price.
