I discovered that you need a strong hand to depress the switch and initiate the machine.
Worth persevering as its a good piece of kit for cleaning the car and surfaces
I have use different type of power washer but this is so good for the price, you can go wrong, cleaning the car, washing windows and pavement, this is the one to buy.
It is very rare these days to get excellent service like this and have told friends who have purchased Yard force products.
Bought the Yard Force after yet another gasket went on the Karcher. Looked at several replacements and the Yard Force looked good value was surprised how heavy the unit was when delivered after unpacking and setting up everything seems good quality. Used to clean the patio including the Marshalite Walling found it so easy so cleaned the car as well. Fingers crossed it continues to be trouble free for several more years.
Firstly this is not a pressure washer! It has enough pressure, however, for decent cleaning duties such as plastic window frames soffits and guttering! Would use on my cars as not too aggressive! I would not recommend the water carrier as it is too flimsy. You will need to find a suitable water carrier because most have too small an opening for the water feed pipe! A larger capacity battery is available if you require it!
I liked the fact that it worked and was easy to use once I had figured out how to assemble it and work it.
I didn’t like the instructions which are note designed for Joe public but for someone with engineering knowledge and having to flick back and fore in the instructions is not helpful. It could/should all be together. The other thing I don’t like is that it is heavier than I expected as I purchased this after looking a some competitors who’s washers seem somewhat lighter. But even with the negatives I’m happy with it .
So this relatively light and mobile unit is easy to carry up these stairs and does an equally good cleaning job as the Karcher removing the grime from these pavers.
The water jet has a ‘V’ shaped high pressure spray that is fully adjustable. On its maximum power jet setting it makes light work of removing the dirt and green slime encrusted on the pavers that builds up during the long cold winter months. So we are very pleased with this purchase and would recommend its use for anybody that needs a much lighter but equally powerful jet power washe
Prev bought Karchers, kept breaking after just over a year. This is more powerful, easy to use, move around and handy to store with the wheel to roll the cord away. Only downside is that when you take the connection cord back out from the roll… You get some kinks. Very happy with it.
I bought this to clean the back outside steps and garden which have gathered dirt and moss over 2 years since they were last cleaned. I opted for a cordless for the obvious reason; I don’t want to trail wires around or use the extension. I knew that would come at a cost of power and I wasn’t wrong. The gun has managed to make my paving / step noticeably clean and I’m very pleased though there are many patches of stubborn moss still present. This was expected and I’ll settle for it.
The pressure washer is plastic, but it’s a good build. The labels on the product look like they have been half applied without any care (see picture), giving it a tacky look. The accessories included hose / filter, bucket, foam bottle, charger, battery and brush. The bucket and hose is welcomed since I would have otherwise had to buy these separately. The washer is quite loud, though there is a ECO mode (bottom on top) which can be used to make it less powerful and noisy. This is useful if you want to do a light spray. There’s 3 modes are operation changed by the turnable end – sheet, zig zag and a spray. I used the zig zag since it disrupts the dirt / moss much more effectively than a consistent spray, though the sheet is good too since it acts like a brush. The spray is for general cleaning – useful to clean off all dirt that’s sprayed up walls.
The battery lasts long enough though I’m unable to comment on time specifically – particularly the charge time since the battery LED display can show 6% (the point when it stops to protect the battery) to around 46% within minutes. It then goes down to 6% stupidly fast. I don’t think this display is accurate at all. For this reason, i’m dropping a star though I’m very pleased with it and will be loaning it to others to clean their driveways.
With my garage being a short distance from my house without power and no garden tap either, I needed something that didn’t require either. There are a few on the market, but I opted for this one due to its reasonable price.
I must say, I’m impressed. I was concerned that only 22 bar of pressure would mean it wouldn’t be up to the task of cleaning my patio (which was rank) but the results are impressive and have given my garden a much more together look.
The battery lasts for about the rated twenty minutes and takes an hour to recharge, so big jobs might require some waiting or a second battery. It’s quite thirsty so you’ll likely get through a few buckets of water (I’ve used the 12L orange one from B&Q) so lining up two side by side has meant fewer trips to fill up. I’ve had no issue with air pockets in the hose causing loss of pressure.
Yet to wash the car with it but I’d expect that one battery charge would easily get me through the wash. I can see the practicalities of this for those with caravans where you have issues with access to water and electricity.
It was easy to set up and use and won’t take up much room in my garage. Overall an easy recommendation.
Just make sure that you not only click the garden hose on but also turn the screw part to stop it leaking water from that attachment point.
The machine is light enough that I could just tip out the water to empty the tank part. Rather than adding bleach or soap to the tank I just applied it directly to the wet deck & pressure hosed it off.
I had no trouble rewinding the pressure hose & electrical cable to store everything away within the machine again after use.
I too have found it’s box shape much better for storing it away; takes up less room than an upright & means I could stack other stuff on top of it etc.
Someone mentioned they found the spray gun heavy – I completely disagree – it was fine :-). I could use one handed with either hand no problem at all.
I live in a high rise flat and the balcony doesn’t have an outside hose, so I just bought a universal tap adapter & an extendable garden hose & I can run the water from either the kitchen or bathroom sink faucet (the hose is long enough to run through my house to my balcony).
I had tried hand scrubbing the deck to try & save money but giving in & buying this pressure washer was definitely the right decision – the balcony just looks fantastic now.
