Really nice pressure washe
It’s not the cheapest but this is a really nice pressure washer. It replaces a Bosch one I’ve been using for the last 10 years. Time will tell if this will last as long.
I like the reel for the high pressure hose, this was the biggest issue I had with my previous one. A kink in that hose will burst it and spray high pressure water everywhere- but the reel keeps that stored away safely.
Grea
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.
Strong arm tactics
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
came with 2 yr. Guarantee unfortunately 16 months motor stopped working contacted sales team they ran me through a few troubleshoots, to sort it out No go They replaced the total Machine 100% perfect service. Due to this fantastic service, I have now bought Yard force Motor mower and a few other products.
It is very rare these days to get excellent service like this and have told friends who have purchased Yard force products.
Great Pressure Washe
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.
Bought for portability!
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!
Easy to use. Not that powerful. Does the car well. Apart from the roof. If you want a hire powered one. Then this is not the one to get. Apart from that. It’s easy to use and great with the soap foam on the car.
4.0 out of 5 stars It does what it says on the tin.
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 .
We already have a Karcher Power Washer that we use to clean the grime from the garden pathways and patio. Although it does an outstanding job, it is rather heavy. Certainly too heavy and cumbersome to carry iup our spiral staircase to our garden terrace to clean the floor pavers.
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
Using the washer is simple powerful enough to uproot weeds in block paviors, there is a ‘turbo nozzle’ didn’t find any literature about it but used it, brilliant, good all round pressure washe
Better than my Karche
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.
Ironically the box came coated in dirt. It look like a return, but it wasn’t used.
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.
A superb, practical buy
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.
A very stylish piece of kit that resembles a futuristic weapon not out of place in a Starwars movie. It is ideal for my purposes as living on a narrowboat I’m often off grid and this can quietly sit charging via my solar panels ready for use at anytime. I can simply connect up the supplied hose and filter, cast it into the water and wash down the boat etc. The pressure is adequate for general use but no where near even a small mains powered jet washer which typically operate at around 100 bar so don’t go thinking it will blast off ingrained grime, weeds etc, it won’t. The pressure is improved when attached to a tap but still nothing like a jet washer. Overall, for my purposes it’s ideal but if you are looking for something where you have access to a tap and mains electricity then even the cheapest mains powered jet washer will beat this hands down. The included accessories, which even feature a collapsible bucket are a nice touch along with a foamer gun to apply car shampoo. I’m sure that in my case it will get a lot of use but for the average Joe I’m not so sure…
This is a brilliantly-designed product. I’m pretty sure it will be copied by other manufacturers soon. My previous stand-up jet washer had a tendency to fall over if pulled by the power hose. Plus it took up an untidy corner in the garage, with hose and wand sticking out at all angles. This little beast sits patiently on a shelf when not needed, with all its bits and bobs neatly self-contained.
The wand comes in 2 halves which can be stored vertically in slots on the machine, or they are small enough to store behind the washer on the shelf. There is something pleasingly sturdy about them and with their smooth finish. Joining them together, you feel like an assassin screwing the silencer on to his sniper’s rifle… ahem, back to the review. They weigh 770g together and don’t feel so heavy to me as other reviewers have mentioned. 16 stone doesn’t necessarily include much muscle, it seems.
In terms of power, it has plenty for around the home. Our patio is getting on a bit and I had to be careful as it dug out quite a few bits of cement from between the slabs. The two attachments options give you the choice of a wider, spade-like jet which acts like a brush from a distance and then gives more power up close. It is also adjustable in pressure, down to a very limp spray. I’m not sure what you’d use that for. Watering delicate plants, perhaps? The second, smaller attachment is the one we’re all looking for, that will clear the grouting from between your paving stones, if you’re not careful.
The wand has a button to lock it from being activated accidentally. My one niggle is that I’d like the button to also be able to lock it in spray mode as well, but – top tip – the pressure hose velcro strap can do this job for you, if needed.
That’s it from me. Buy it, it’s fab.
I was worried I had bought a fake because there is a misspelling on the machine label (washer misspelt as ‘wahser’) but no, it all works fine. Made my grimey, grey dirty wooden deck look like new. Good instruction book + checking some videos online made sure that I used the correct attachment.
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.
I love this machine, I was choosing between a 110bar Bosch EasyAquatak a 110bar Makita and this. at 135bar you get best bang for your buck. Mind you, 135bar isn’t anywhere near what you get at an industrial car wash and to clean real dirt and moss you will need to hold your nozzle just a couple of inches away from the surface being cleaned which also means the jet spade is 5cm wide – it will take you a long… LONG time to clean fences and patios BUT you can do it! I believe this will be the problem with all budget jet washers.
I love YardForce’s chunky build! It’s very different from “upright” nilfisk and Krcher, very different from them in a very good way! You can easily store it in the shed and place other boxes righ on top of it! Brilliant!
Brillantly designed integrated detergent container! Why’s not everyone else thought of it?! Why do I need to be weilding an extra bottle of detergent screwed onto my lance like I would with Krcher?! Excellent solution!
The cable can be stored inside behind a panel, you can do same with the hose although I did not bother. A very well designed layout! No one else has it! My revious jet was was a mess of cables and hoses!
I have done over 4 hours straight when I bought it and the unit did not even sneeze. I would highly recommend it for anyone in need of a simple and cheap domesti jet wash. It will clean mould, moss, fences, patios, your car. I fed hot water into it with no problems at all. Great stuff!
The downside of the integrated detergent container design is that if there is any detergent left in there it will slowly drip during storage so I’ve almost decided to keep it outside at all times which I believe you can do especially if you mountain bike and need it often.
Would I sawp it for a 160bar jet was? Not for what the latter costs.
I was going to buy either the Karcher or the Bosch, but instead opted for this one primarily because it had better performance than either within the same price bracket (this Yard Force has a maximum of 135 bar whilst the others are around 100-110 bar). I was also turned off by the latest reviews for the Karcher due to people claiming that they weren’t built as well as they used to be, and the Bosch had seemingly fifty thousand versions of the same product which I really couldn’t be bothered to go through.
Yard Force on the other hand have just one (at least in the UK) pressure washer and even though it’s priced at the lower end of the spectrum, it kind of feels like an intermediate pressure washer – so between entry ones (the Karcher K2s and what have you) and the 400+ Karchers. We’re talking Karcher K4 level performance here with the 135 bar as mentioned earlier, but at entry level prices.
I’m very impressed with this piece of kit because while it’s quite heavy it packs a powerful punch, able to shift over 20 years’ worth of dirt from my friend’s back yard making it almost unrecognisable.
The components fit neatly into the body of the machine and has two nozzles; a turbo nozzle used for dirt busting and another which may be altered so that it can either water plants, or wash cars. The good thing is that the machine only activates once you press the trigger, unless you don’t have enough water flowing to it in which case it will continue to try and pump water.
One gripe I had was in removing the hosing to the gun which can be a bit of a pain and requires quite a bit of force to remove – I’ve realised that you need to press the button on the gun hard to release it, but there was no guide in how it worked because I originally thought that like the nozzles, you had to press it in and then turn it in order to release it, but that wasn’t the case. You should also bear in mind that you shouldn’t remove the hosing to the gun whilst the machine is still turned on, else you’ll get a face full of water once it comes out!
All in all a great product which is far better than my old one and definitely worth the price. Don’t be put off by the less well-known brand naming, because if you look at their website or product range, you’ll see that Yard Force have a great deal of experience with making garden appliances.
