A good solid unit perfect for washing a car or MTB quickly ,where you done have access to a hose . Two 20l buckets of water will wash your car .Its not a high pressure jet was but powerful enough to get regular dirt and grime off most things. Battery runs for about 15 minutes. Good set of spray ranges. Only niggle is the water pick up comes out of bucket or falls off supplied clip on bucke
A bit under powered .good for washing bikes ..small items
.batteries last about 3 full buckets of water ..
I bought this to wash my van with. Unfortunately the input hose will only really fit into a bucket rather than the bottles I had for the job.
If you’re looking for more difficult work you’re probably better with a plug in model.
Bought this piece of kit about 6 months ago and, to summarize, it’s AMAZING! I do not have a garden hose so I was careful on the research o have done before buying this. It’s main purpose was to clean my bicycle after rides, as I used to use a bucket. Now it is great, quick, mess free and saves water as I don’t need to be rising so often, while cleaning. It does come with a 36 Wh battery that would last for 3-4 washes. (Possibly around 20-30 min total). It is necessary to use the High power button (no idea about other reviews here that claim that this device does not have enough pressure-> to be perfectly clear, i does have enough pressure to clear my patio floor. But I would not recommend it just for this task as the battery does not last enough time for an effective cleaning) for it to develop the necessary pressure.
I have bought also a 80Wh battery and now, no more issues with having to recharge every 3-4 washes.
I recommend this product for those people not having access to a garden hose and needing regularly to wash/clean household items/car/bikes.
Purchased the full kit 4 months ago and figured it was time for a review. At the time the full kit was 130 and i got it on the pay monthly so was great, as usual i read the reviews and then did some YouTube and honestly you can disregard pretty much all the negative reviews, they ether fall into the didn’t read the instructions and so did’t turn on the high power mode or they bought it expecting a 20v cordless to perform like a 240v mains pressure washer. If you go in understanding what it is and that it is only 20v ( 18v ) then it is powerful for what it is and understand that it is not designed for cleaning slabs or wood like you would with a 240v pressure washer, when used for what it is designed for then it is excellent and i use it for cars / motorbikes and mountain bikes heck i even use it for cleaning the windows of my house, a quick blast of foam and after a few min blast with water and dirt and bird poop melt away. One bit of advise though is the foam cannon included while it works it is kinda useless as it is not adjustable and the bottle is far to small and does not produce that thick a foam, for me i just got one of the 15 amazon foam bottles with the 1/4 fitting and it is so much bette
After looking at some of the views I was not sure. But after using it well impressed. yes there is no where near the power of a big pressure washer But anyone looking at this bit of kit should realise that. I wanted something to help with washing my caravan without the hassle of pulling the hose and my large pressure washer out. Well how did this perform. Got caravan out of storage it was green from standing for over a year. used One shot to wet all over first then got to with my long wash brush then used the one shot to rinse of and was amazed at how well it performed and even on jet to remove any muck from hard to reach places was good. personally I think it performed well and pleased that I bought it. I will be up grading to a larger battery though. Only put 4 stars on Manoeuvrability as its a bit heavy on the wrist for my wife to use.e
My husband saw the Worx on Amazon and was impressed with the reviews, he also looked at Youtube to get an idea of how it performed.
We ordered the Worx Friday evening and it arrived the next day. As another customer suggested he used it in the bath first against the tiles and it certainly had some power behind it.
As we live in a flat we can’t use a regular hose, so armed with his new Worx and bucket of water off he went to the car.
So impressed! It removed dried birds muck and dust and dirt without having to use a sponge in a bucket off reused water.
It is quick to assemble and simple to use. Well worth the money and it will save us having to go to the car wash when the car gets too grubby so will pay for itself in the long run.
I tried my washer yesterday for the first time. The positives are that its quite easy to use and you don’t have to worry about moving your hose onto your drive or moving around a heavy jet washer. I used a bucket of water for each application and having used the bigger battery, I only used up one bar out of three to complete the wash. Now the slight negatives. Don’t expect it to be as powerful as a jet wash, however its strong enough to do the job in washing a dirty car, that’s if you keep in mind you will still need to put some elbow grease with a sponge to clear all the dirt off. Another slight negative is if you use the larger battery it will feel heavy after a while so I will probably try the smaller one next time. All in all I am happy with the product.
So, I got this guy to help clean the bikes after rides- so far it’s great. Does the job. Battery goes pretty quick- just enough time to do 2 MUDDY bikes or 3 mildly dirt splashed bikes. The hose is a little long and I trip all over that thing and it takes a little while holding the trigger for the water to get pumped through. But when it’s going it’s fab. Deffo recommend for bikes… just make sure to get a spare battery if you are going away!
Ok, this is not going to blast your patio clean, nor is it going to require you to dress like a trawlerman on the high sea to avoid getting soaked. It is however great for car cleaning, doing the wheel arches, cleaning greenhouse glass, washing down the drive to get rid of the mud from under the wheel arches, etc etc. It’s real bonus for me is not worrying about reeling out the power cord and encasing the extension lead in plastic bags etc to avoid the water getting to the plug. It dismantles easily into its constituent parts and packs away nicely, so no struggling with moving the entire contents of the garage to get the big heavy mains powered one out. It’s best used, for me, with hose pipe connected as it goes through a bucket of water quite quickly. Would I recommend..Yes
Great concept, well executed with good quality parts. Difficult to assemble in cold weather due to nature of plastic components. Has to be on high power setting to do a decent job. This means the battery life is compromised. I have 2 batteries (one from my Worx grass strimmer which is EPIC!). The most annoying feature is the float/filter which is supposed to ensure a constant flow of water…, well, it doesn’t. I have to “weight it down” to the bottom of the bucket to ensure a constant flow of water. When its functioning at optimal settings it does a really good job.
Very pleased with my Worx pressure cleaner.
Firstly, this machine will never compare to a mains powered pressure washer such as a Karscher and it is not meant to be.
It is ideal for anyone without access to a mains water supply.
Perfect for washing the car and loosening road grime but will struggle to wash away thick layers of mud such as with a Karscher.
Easily attaches to a bucket. I have a 20 litre one which is enough to rinse off my Fiesta prior washing and also rinse off shampoo after.
When attached to the supplied hose, it will take approx 20-30 seconds for water to be drawn to the spray head. Once through, the spray has surprising power.
The 20v battery has easily enough power to wash my car. Has a useful charge level on battery.
I was a little worried about buying this product after reading several reviews, but seeing that it has a 3 year warranty I decided to give it a go. It all went together easily and with the battery charged and a bucket of water in hand i went to give the car a wash and see how good the pressure washer was. So with the hose pick up in the water i squeezed the trigger and it whirred into life. A few minutes later it was still whirring but no water appeared. Thinking the worst, that the reviews were correct i resigned myself to calling Amazon. However I had an idea, take the lance off and see if the pump module was pulling water through the system. Sure enough water poured through, so I reattached the lance, pulled the trigger and hey presto we had action.
Now the water pressure wasn’t as high as my mains powered unit and that was no surprise but it was perfectly acceptable. It got through the dirt with ease and used a tiny amount of water which was a very pleasant surprise. That meant that I don’t need to take loads of water with me to wash the car when its at a show.
A complete wash used just half a battery charge, so together with low water consumption this pressure washer gets the thumbs up, just remember to bleed some water through before fitting the lance.
I bought this piece of equipment to clean the outside of my caravan where there is no water or power. I take 40 litres of water which with the hydroshot is more than adequate.
Do not be under the impression that the hydroshot will use high pressure. It doesn’t. What it does (at least for me) is give the versatility to rinse off my caravan using water frugally but very efficiently. The battery does not last long enough in my opinion but fortunately I have a spare so its not an issue.
I don’t think this tool is for everyone, you need to have a specific task (as I do) to make the purchase.
I’m glad I bought it.
Now if you think this is going to be as powerful as a mains jet wash it’s not and never could be. But if you want a little amazing jet wash and you keep your car pretty clean anyway this is for u. Added with snow foam from amazon fill the container uo mix with water.. Charge battery and away I went. People were amazed while I coverered by car in foam then jet washed it off no wire s no hose pipe. I then started on my house windows the water is drawn from a bucket supplied. When it ran out I charged in tho the house pushing the kids over for a refill. Since then I’ve been on a jet wash mission. Cleaning outside garden things. Washing the dog on low setting. I love it. Going to buy a spare battery so I can non stop. Quality is good and get the kit as everything is there. Good for caravans where no electric or hose connection. The pressude is not fantastic but it’s good enough.for most jobs. Best thing I’ve bought since my 70 inch TV which I’m not watching as I’m always cleaning. Don’t think about it buy one a must for any man on lockdow
Amazing product for those who don’t have/want the hassle of wrestling with a hose and power leads.
Had a bit of an issue with buying it via amazon, which I’ll get into later but this has been a godsend for cleaning my car, bike, decking, BBQ and even the family gravestone.
Let’s get the negative part out of the way first. Ordered via amazon and the listing stated it came with a battery and charger. When it arrived, no battery or charger, so I started the return process and order another one in the meantime.
The second unit came and low and behold no battery or charger yet again. Thankfully, after complaining, Amazon issued a full refund for the unit, but asked that I had to pay for the battery and charger myself. That was fine with me, as it was less than what I paid.
Righto, the negative side over and done with, let’s get into the positives. Amazingly portable. I bought this as a way of cleaning my estate car and bicycle. All I do is fill up a bucket with soapy water and another with cold. The battery actually lasts far longer than I need it too and the pressure is great. There’s a high and low pressure button on the top. My top is to use the low pressure setting if you’re filling up from a bucket. Just wait until the water starts to comes through, then switch to high pressure. Simple.
Does the job brilliantly. Like I said, I bought this mainly to clean a dirty bicycle when I arrive back home from long rides. It gets rid of all the dirty, dust and mud with ease.
For cleaning the car, it does a fab job of cleaning alloy wheels – although you still have to get right in there to get rid of the stubborn road grime.
Where this jetwash comes into its own is portability. My family gravestone is in the far corner of our local cemetery. It’s a fair distance from the water pipe, so all I do is fill up a large water container and spray a bit of soap on the stone, then switch the jetwash on. Bingo. All nice and clean. Looking forward to using this in the winter when the stone gets much more dirty and it’s impossible to scrub it by hand it due to the cold.
Great buy if you can get it for the right price. Just make sure they include the battery and charger, as they’re expensive to buy separately.
This little jet wash is simply superb. We have had ours for about a year now, it’s still going strong and brings a smile to my face every time I use it. To get that much power from a bucket of water is amazing. It’s true, it’s not as powerful as a mains powered one but it’s not as much hassle to set up either. I have used it to jet wash mud from the land rover, to clean out gutters, to clean the plastic chicken houses, the jet was the path. It’s just brilliant.
We even use a weak soap solution in ours, they don’t recommend it but we have had no issues at all. In fact it’s so good that I bought one for my elderly parents to use on their campervan when they are away on their long trips. A charged up battery and a bucket is all you need. We have also bought the same make of garden strimmer so we have 2 batteries in case we have a long job to do. I will certainly buy more Worx tools in the future.
I was a bit concerned by some of the reviews of this pressure cleaner in terms of people citing a lack of power from the unit, but I decided to take the plunge and purchase this item anyway to help clean my balcony decking and I’m really glad that I did. The unit is very easy to put together, including the various attachments and it’s a very clever system where you just put the filter into a bucket of water to get the pressure washer working with no need for a hose. Living in a small flat with no outside tap, this was the perfect solution for me. The pressure washer had more than enough pressure for my needs and has done a great job of cleaning off old dirt and moss from the balcony decking. The only slight drawback is that the battery power does not last that long – maybe 15 minutes so it needs recharging quite quickly but other than that, this is an excellent product.
This washer is not going to replace a mains-power pressure washer as it’s only about ten times the power of a garden hose; enough to clean out moss and grit but it’ll struggle a bit on dirty alloy wheels, for example. However, I’ll forgive it that for the convenience of not having to cable it up, find a hose outlet and drag the washer around. And it won’t strip the paintwork off or destroy wiper blades.
Just fill a bucket, plop the hose in and carry the bucket in one hand and the washer in the other. On a single charge it will empty 2 or 3 buckets of any size you can actually carry. Just as well as a recharge takes several hours. If you need more, consider a second battery.
I don’t understand some if these reviews as this is the best bit of kit I’ve bought for a while. I was expecting something that would do a good wash, for things like patio furniture, car etc and keep on top of the patio, thinking I’d have to hire a big power washer for a deep patio clean. I was totally wrong. My patio was in a total state. It hasn’t been cleaned for years and was covered in ground in muck from a landscaping job last year, with some green mould too. I couldn’t look at it anymore and with us being stuck in lockdown I hoped this would at least get the top layer off before I bought a more expensive piece of kit or hired a power washer further down the line. I was surprised but this has cleaned most of the patio – who knew the slabs were the colour they were ! Out patio is about 4m x 4m and in half an hour I used one charge of the battery and about 4 buckets of water but it came up lovely. The key is to have the extension rod on there, put it on “40” and the high power function. Brilliant! Did a great job. Really handy not having to worry about having an outside tap and a hose either, as ours if quite a distance away around the front of the house. I’ve used it to clean outdoor toys and furniture too with great result. It’s not just for cleaning though, two buckets of water and the low power spray and I water all my garden plants, beds and lawn too. It’s a lot easier than filling multiple watering cans or dragging a hose around. It’s light and easy to use, and although might not be as convenient for big jobs as the battery charge only lasts about half an hour, you can always get a spare battery or swap in one from another Worx device. Really glad I bought this. Gets used every day.
I bought this power washer so that i can wash my car anytime, anywhere. The pressure is just enough to remove the soap from the car. It’s not the best power washer on the market but it is capable of covering the basic needs, the added advantage is you can use this anywhere, it is not confined to just your house or work. Ideal for anyone that does not have an outside tap.
The battery life is okay, i managed an all over wash, approx 30 – 40 mins, battery ran out just as i finished. I would advise to buy a seperate battery to have on stand by.
Overall, a handy little washer, and i would recommend this to anyone.
I don’t have a hose pipe, so had been using buckets and a watering can to wash the car.
This is lot better. I use it to rinse the car first, then I use a bucket and sponge, and use it again to wash the soap of afterwards.
It is obviously not as powerful as a commercial car jet spray, but I find it good enough.
I haven’t used the shampoo attachment yet, or the brush.
The battery easily last for washing one car like this. I’m not sure it would last if I used the brush?
I would probably prefer a larger bucket, but I just refill it from another bucket.
The worst part is the clip to hold the hose in the bucket. It is completely useless. I was having to carry the bucket and manually hold the hose in place, and then use the Hydroshot one-handed. However if you get these:
– https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07RMYBNJJ
– https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00X2Y2ZR2
– plus a small nut & bolt
you can make a clip that is far better. You can leave the bucket on the ground and walk around the whole car.
Purchased this on a friends recommendation at an offer price of 99 (five monthly interest free payments) primarily to clean my two motorcycles. Turned out to be just the job. Rinsed the bikes, sprayed with muc-off, agitated and then washed clean. Standard battery allowed me to do both bikes (Triumph Bonneville T100 and Yamaha Tracer 700 GT). Also purchased a Bruhl MD1900 drier, a fantastic way to thoroughly dry a bike. Battery recharging is slow, so plan ahead. Next day moved on to car cleaning. Snow foam bottle and Turtle Wax snow foam gave a reasonable foam cover. Rinsed off, washed by hand, rinsed off with still enough power left to clean buckets, brushes and sponge. Cleaning the bikes have always been a labour of love, not so the cars. Using the Worx pressure washer and Bruhl dryer makes cleaning less of a chore, but leaves a super finish. Made a schoolboy error leaving the unit in a shed overnight. Frozen when needed next day but thawed out successfully using the wife’s hair drier.
I brought this to clean my mountain bike after hitting trail centres and it does the job really well. The only thing is the battery isn’t very good and you get about 20 mins tops before it cuts out which is basically two bikes cleaned really well. If you have the money get the upgraded battery and then you’re good to go. I brought a gallon jerry can and that is great to use with the hydroshot. I did try to use it in the garden to clean the walls which I painted white last year and moss has discoloured them in this use case it’s alright nothing great. I also used it to wash my girlfriend’s car and this it worked great on as well.
Using the Hydroshot for the first time I made a dilution of the car shampoo which went into the soap bottle, this then attached to the long lance for maximum pressure. With the battery fully charged I went round the car twice with the soap bottle and applied 2 thick layers of shampoo and water.
I left the suds to work in for a few minutes, then with the wash mitt and a clean bucket of water wiped the car over thoroughly. With the washing done, I fired up the Hydroshot with the variable attachment (set to 25) on the end and rinsed off all the suds in less than 2 minutes, easily getting into all the hard to reach areas with enough power to blast away the loosened dirt. For the wheels I truned the nozzle to 15 and ran it round the alloys quite close for maximum pressure and spread.
A quick wipe down with a towel and my car is now sparkling, the whole process took a quarter of the time it would normally take me to do it with buckets alone and uses less water because of the accuracy in spraying.
Usual gripes with battery life as mentioned by other reviewers, but I’m not going to drop stars because of this. For the convenience of the Hydroshot, and with a bit of planning, you can get a lot done with 20 mins of use (on high).
This isn’t a replacement for a plug in pressure washer, but if like me you don’t have access to mains water and want to revolutionise and speed up your old car washing methods then get this, you won’t be disappointed.
I’ve given this 5 stars based on my requirements. I have an electric pressure washer for cleaning my patio and garden furniture but it’s a pain getting it all set up for ‘little’ jobs. This Worx washer isn’t powerful enough for those tough tasks. I live at the end of a farm track so in winter it’s always muddy and my car gets plastered. A 5 minute blast with the Worx removes the mud. Pop the brush on the end and it’s brilliant for cleaning the conservatory windows and the greenhouse. There are 2 settings for the power, controlled by a button on the handle. The only time I can think I would use the low setting is for washing the dog when we come back from a mucky walk or watering plants. High power with the adjustable nozzle is about half the strength of a mains operated washer. The battery lasts about 15 minutes on full power but as I have a Worx strimmer I swap that battery if the job isn’t finished. I purchased the washer with all the accessories when it was on special offer. The collapsible ‘bucket’ is pretty useless as it’s flimsy and doesn’t hold much water but probably enough for dog washing. The main unit itself feels very solid and well made.
Ok I reckon this item should come standard with two batteries. I know you can always buy more but having two should be standard.
The price of this item is ok. The item itself is ok to have if you have no outside tap . I do prefer using my hose as theres more water pressure & it’s faster but I brought this item as I do 12hr shifts at work and sometimes 7 days a week, so while I’m there I could wash my van not worried about no outside tap. If you have access to an outside tap to wash your vehicle – I wouldn’t recommend it. If you don’t have access to a outside tap & you normally have to run a hose through your house, I would recommend getting this it. Jet power wise is ok for what it is
After much tooting and frowing shall I or shan’t I review reading etc I finally but the bullet and bought this item, especially as it was being offered at discount price with flexi pay.
Came the next day.
Easy to understand and set up.
Battery needed a good 3 hour charge before using.
Upon using for the first time I found it
very light to manoeuvre around.
Used up 2 x 5 litre buckets to wash off all the mud etc off my 4×4 which is why I bought this item.
Made a great job
Done in 15 mins
More than enough power but not too much as to risk taking the paint off the car or pushing water under window seals etc.
Best of all no hoses,extension leads etc being dragged thru my garage.
This is no karcher
I have a karcher k2 mini which does the job of patio /driveway cleaning etc to great effect.
This item wouldn’t do the job as well.
But I didn’t buy it for this.
Hence this positive review.
I bought this to clean my mountain bike easily before I put it in my car or home.
Let’s start by saying it’s not a powerful pressure washer like a mains one. That’s why I bought it. You can’t / shouldn’t use a mains pressure washer on a bike due to damaging the seals. That said I find it powerful enough for all my other needs.
First, it’s great for my needs. It’s light to handle, well balanced and packs away in my bucket.
Second, it can use any water source ie a hose pipe, a river, a bucket or even a 2ltr pop bottle (although I think this adaptation should be included). A bucket with 3 litres of water was fine to fully clean a very muddy bike. I take a 2 litre pop bottle to clean my bike straight off the trail to put into my boot and it’s enough. When home a bucket fully cleans it.
Third, you can change pressure from high to low and change the angle of spray.
Included in my box: ( I chose the no battery and charger, just the body version.) There is a short lance and a longer lance, a spray angle head and a netting bag alongside the washer.
I bought without charger and battery because I chose to buy the fast charger and a 3amp battery separately (ie longer battery life and charges in half the time) and it worked out about 10 more than the full package.
I’ve used it numerous times now, cleaning windows, cleaning the car and washing some chairs. It was easier for me than getting the mains power washer out. In fact, I’m thinking of getting rid of the mains one because for me this is all I need.
So in summary I love it, it’s powerful enough for me, and ideal for my bike when I’m putting it in my car, just don’t expect it to blast slime off flags for example.
The bucket this one comes with is ideal for cleaning my bike however you might have to refill to get a full clean over your average family size car. Having the flexibility to use any bucket of water rather than having to hook it up to a tap gives you plenty of flexibility and the hose is plenty long enough to work around your car easily, plus has a filter on the end to remove any big bits of dirt so it doesn’t ruin the washer or whatever you are cleaning. I personally use a big water container on wheels that is filled from an overflow off a water butt collecting water from my garage roof.
Battery life is decent enough too. You won’t get much more than a full car wash (including initial rinse, soap up and rinse off) out of a full charge, but then that’s pretty much perfect unless you want to do loads of jobs at once. There is a handy little battery level display on the battery itself, just with a simple press of a button.
Overall I knew what I was expecting when buying this and I’m really pleased with it. I wasn’t expecting the super-powered (comparatively) washers like some of the other corded ones available and because of this I could treat it and what I’m cleaning accordingly. For me it’s a fantastic bit of kit and I’m really pleased with it and would recommend.
Only tested once, will add more after further use but first go was block paving.
Delighted it jetted Moss out of the joints on narrowest setting without making as much mess as a mains washer (but enough mess for my wife to laugh at my mud spattered head). Much easier than a brush for large area though still a chore and think the jointing sand will still need topping up though hopefully not all of it.
I’m sure it won’t clean oil stains etc as some want, but that’s a different job. Moss is definitely my bugbear.
I suspect two issues for those that say it’s feeble. 1) the hose end must dangle in the bucket, if any part touches the floor or sides the pressure drops right down or can stop. 2) in case you missed it, there’s a high/low button on the top.
Having used it some more, it can be a real pain if sucking up water rather than using a tap but from other reviews I discovered that means a poor seal on the inlet. Best use soap or gel to help as the nut will break if you overtighten.
The reason I required a cordless pressure washer is because I live in a rented house with no outside tap/ hose pipe so the ability to use a bucket of water as the water source is ideal. Also, the fact that it dismantles down to a small compact size means I can store it in a cupboard which is useful as I don’t have any outside storage. For the price, there isn’t anything else that fits my criteria.
I opted for the full kit which includes a detergent bottle and brush attachment amongst other things. The detergent bottle is good and provides a decent covering on the car as shown in my video. The brush, however, does feel a little flimsy when it is attached to the hydroshot so I have found myself just using it as an ordinary brush disconnected from the hydroshot.
My only other gripe with the hydroshot is with the plastic clip that holds the hose to the bucket. It doesn’t seem to have a very good hold on the hose so it just keeps popping out of the clip, which gets a bit tedious after having to re-attach it every 30 seconds. I’m sure i’ll be able to find something to solve this issue though.
Overall I think that the hydroshot is a very capable and useful portable pressure washer. If you don’t have outside access to either power or a water tap like me then I would definitely recommend it. If you are expecting it to be a replacement for your current mains connected pressure washer, then you are probably going to be a bit disappointed.
I love Worx cordless tools! I bought this as ordinary pressure washers drive me crazy – tangling the hosepipe, electric cable & the wand hose altogether all the time. This is so easy to use, very lightweight, and for me the whole point about Worx cordless tools is that you can just pick up and go (as long as your battery is charged – I keep 2 on the go so I can switch if one runs out).
I was worried that it might not be powerful enough to really clean anything, and whilst it’s true that it is not as powerful as a corded machine, it certainly cleans really effectively, even stained block paving. I find that because it’s so easy to use I do the chores more often, thereby not needing such a heavy-duty clean in one go. It seems economical on water, and you can achieve a worthwhile clean with just a watering can full of water. It also works really well when connected to a normal mains hosepipe, and I found the connectors to be totally watertight, unlike my 2 corded pressure washers, which both spout water at the connection point the whole time. I really don’t regret buying this – will probably buy another to use elsewhere.
Bought this to keep in the van to clean my mountain bikes after going out riding. You need to take your water with you, but I find I use about 5ltr per wash and I have a 25ltr water container. The pressure is never going to strip paint or remove really caked on dried gunk but it rinses and washes very well when I finish my ride, the different spray patterns are useful and easily changed. It’s easy to set up, break down and changed lance size and it doesn’t make a mess if you empty the hose properly (Just keep running the washer after removing the hose from the water and hey presto). Not sure about battery life yet as only used it a couple of times, but it takes around 3 hrs for a full charge from empty. The battery also has a handy press button level indicator on it too. In all I only marked it down a star for price, as it could do with being 20 cheaper. I suppose it will be once there’s more competition. All in all, it’s a good compact mobile washer, for small jobs.
I bought this to water my plants from a water barrel in the allotment. It works really well, except it takes ages to water my plants. The battery on the watering setting lasts about half an hour. Which is good enough to water my allotment. The annoying thing is that you have to hold the button down in order to water for half and hour. I found this caused hand fatigue. So I use a reusable cable tie to hold the button in. Then release the cable tie to stop it. Also the clamp that holds the water pipe to the side of the barrel is too weak. So again I use two cable ties on this. One tie to hold the tube to the clamp, the other to cable tie the clamp to the water container you are using. By using reusable cable ties you can switch containers if you need to. So if the company addressed these two problems it would be great. But a word of warning, if you attempt to use this item in anything other than clear water the filter will block in about 30 seconds. I tried using this in water that was harvested from the rain into a water barrel. The water in this barrel isn’t sparkling clean. The filter blocked very quickly with algae. So unless you have a clean water source don’t bother using this
This product is for general use car, house windows patio or any thing you want in general, not a bad item . Battery lasts to a certain degree as the more you use the quicker the power drains. Forget at the moment but I think you get two batteries. You can buy other parts for the power spray, it would have been nice to have had the detergent bottle included in the package. You can still make suds by mixing your soap solution in water before adding the sucktion tube into the water. it can use a bucket of water quite quick so check at intervals so it does’t run out. When first trying out for the first time it takes a little time for the water to come through, so give it time to start working. The nozzle at the front of the gun can be rotated to suit your needs giving veraing power feeds, not as powerful as the kacher but still a all round washer power gun.
It admits that it can’t handle prop cleaning. But it can and it will.
You can use it as a watering can on shower mode, different spare widths and power, H/L power mode for when you’re just cleaning up or cleaning a bike that you don’t want to blow the grease out of.
It will finish a 2L bottle fairly quickly but that depends on how you use it as there are wasteful ways to use it and conservative ways of using it of course.
However, fill up a bucket, pit it within 3m of your work area and attach the hose connection, it clips onto the bucket and has a float so that it stays in perfect position.
I could go on and on, this thing is a god send.
Well done WORX!
And no this isn’t fake, or sponsored. Just
Love the product and happy it’s as good as I wanted it to be.
Next day after bad weather pretty all day it was time to wash it again, took Hydroshot out of the box and 10 minutes later my van was shiny again.
I think I discovered what it was actually designed for! After about 50 washes I simply love it! It is not perfect due to flimsy hose mount to the bucket which jumps out quite often during wash (gonna have to fix it myself). Don’t know if it works better with original bucket as I only have basic version.
After I ceramic coated my panel van I wash it almost daily (its spring now) it takes me about 10-15 minutes and 2 15l buckets (on a quick wash I use only one).
Not sure of battery time as it never run out during wash. I even tried to run it out once by washing my pavement but after a couple of buckets gave up… I fully charge it after every use and only use turbo mode.
It works well with Worx foam cannon (avaliable to buy elsewhere).
The gun’s power its adjustable and there are two lengths of the lance – very handy although most preassure is with long extension.
I have to say that there’s enough preassure to wash a car (I had my paint damaged at a car wash previously due to high preassure!).
The gun is pretty light and very portable.
I don’t have a tap in front of my house and was running dirty hose through it previously. I just take a bucket with me.
Now is the best part… I’m having a water catch system installed in front of my house for 25 and will use soft rain water for free!
I already save a lot of money as I was paying at least 15 to wash my van outside only. My van is black and I like to keep it clean so by washing it 3-5 times a week Worx Hydroshot have paid for itself long time ago.
It’s so portible I even planing of taking it with me on holiday.
This is longest review I ever done and hope will help people make right decision.
Worx Hydroshot shot its perfect for washing cars and super portable. If you after a high preassure buy more powerful one.
Overall very happy with the purchase and glad I didn’t return it!
I done a fair amount of research and thought i would give it a try.
The kit is very good and comes with everything you need to get going, other than a full charge of the battery. I was never expecting it to compete with a powered pressure washer, but i did expect a marked improvement over the standard hose pipe…….i was wrong, the increase is marginal.
I gave it a try on my lightly soiled car and it seemed like a huge amount of effort to remove the surface layer. I tried the various lances and settings but no real difference.
In the end i gave up and resorted to the garden hose and a sponge.
I really wanted it to work well, but it didnt meet my expectations, maybe a higher voltage would increase pressure, i’m not sure. The worx range is a sound idea, but i do believe in this area, its certainly not a jack of all trades!
So far I’ve used it to blast away 6 months of dust and dirt from my bike which it did with ease. Also used it to clean our balcony windows/facade that constantly gets covered in dust and the table and chairs. Most recent use was on the grout lines in the shower at our rental apartment which were black in areas which even scrubbing with a brush wouldn’t remove.
The washer has two modes of power (low and high). The low mode isn’t worth bothering with unless you’re watering plants or something light. I used the high mode for all of the jobs mentioned above which worked very well. On high mode the included battery will last for nearly 3 mop buckets (10L per bucket) full of water before it’ll need charging. This was more than enough to do both sides of the external balcony windows (9 in total).
Can’t fault this jet washer for its convenience, portability and power. Really useful if you don’t have the convenience of a outdoor tap.
Now as to the item in question….There have been a few mixed reviews regarding this item…. And I can understand why..
If you expect it to be like a normal pressure cleaner then you will be disappointed.. especially when using water from the bucket. But thats to be expected, if you think otherwise then again you will be disappointed..
BUT if you understand that it is a handy portable low pressure cleaner for light work that you can use anywhere where there is no mains tap then it is a ideal little gadget for cleaning rinsing your car, motor bike, patio etc….
Also please keep in mind to those that said it worked fine then pressure dropped and was not working properly… There is a small filter in the gun itself.. where the hose attaches to the gun… unscrew the orange connector and inside there is a filter… which can block up easy as it did to me..just remove the small disc filter and rinse it and all be ok again. as the with the filter on the end of hose that goes into bucket… clean regularly… for me its ideal and handy… I RECOMMEND IT!
For a cordless device this is pretty good. It is so easy to get ready, compared to a mains power washer.
However, it can’t equal the output of a mains one, which is usually about 1500 watts – this is more like 250watts, so it takes longer to do a job.
It is really good at cleaning alloy wheels, you just have to spray on a bit of cleaner first. You can also do the whole car, a small area of paving , or a boat deck. Again, it is much better if you use some liquid cleaner, whereas a mains unit’s higher pressure might do the job without it.
Where it really scores is on convenience of use. A bucket of rainwater goes quite a long way, and you can also use hot water if needed. If you get the pop-bottle adaptor, it is completely self -contained – although 2 litres of water doesn’t last very long – very useful if you need to go up a ladder. Because it uses water so economically, you could use it in a drought without getting in trouble; and in winter you don’t finish up with water everywhere like with a mains washer, and you don’t have to worry about getting your mains electric cable wet. You could even use it indoors, if you’re careful, e.g. to clean a shower area. Because it’s so easy to use, I do things “as and when” rather than waiting until it’s worth getting the Karcher connected up.
So like most gadgets, it’s “horses for courses”. A few words of advice: don’t use dirty water, or you’ll have to keep cleaning the filter, which is very small. And get a spare battery, the bigger the better, if you want to keep working with it for very long. I got a 6 Ah one, and I haven’t managed to run it down yet.
Does what it says which is to pump water from a bucket through the nozzle. It is not a jet wash and does not have pressure as such but for washing a car it is fine. I bought the additional 4.0 battery for more power. Washed 2 cars using the soap dispenser and it took 3 black builder buckets of hot tap water per car (1 for prewash and soap foam, 2 for rinsing and wheels). Also washed the engine and wheel arches. It’s portable which is good, the reason I bought it is because all my local hand car wash places are managed by pillocks and poor migrants on 50p per car wage who scratch your paintwork with the zips on their clothing and miss out parts of the car, I’ve had a few arguments with the pimps and decided to wash myself.
If, on the other hand, you are after a portable, capable and versatile machine for washing your car, motorhome, boat, caravan, motorcycle etc without ready access to a mains water supply or power source, then this may well be as perfect for you as it s for me.
I bought the standard Hydroshot without all the accessories as there were several I wouldn’t have used, instead choosing to buy the soap bottle accessory, the 4.0ah battery and a fast charger instead.
Charging with the regular charger is a fairly slow process, even with the regular 2ah battery supplied, but once fully charged I found it was sufficient to rinse, soap and then rinse off the car. Pressure using the finest nozzle setting was good enough to get most heavy deposits off. On with the soap bottle and I covered the car in a layer of snow foam; whilst this didn’t produce a thick mass of foam like you’d get with something like a Karcher mains powered model, it still covered the car in a satisfying and efficient layer of foam. Rinsing off was a piece of cake and there was still life left in the battery.
I’ve since used it to wash our motorhome from top to bottom, thoroughly clean my motorcycle and various jobs around the home. Although I have a nice Karcher in the garage, I find that I’m using it less and less. The Hydroshot isn’t so powerful that it’s going to cause damage to the motorhome, force water under window seals or blast grease from the motorcycle bearings. It packs down small enough that I can take it anywhere and use safely on almost anything.
In short, I love it and I’d not want to be without one again.

Not sure if the bottle needs neat cleaning fluid or dilute though? – Havent got my head into this yet.
So having excitedly unpacked this box of awesomeness I hurriedly ran outside to wash the car.
As the tension built as the water slowly ran towards the spray gun from my bucket of water you could cut the excitement in the air with a bread knife..then like a drunken Romeo after a Friday night out the excitement gave way to disappointment as a pathetic spray erupted from the nossel.
What???? This is crap..but hang on there were great reviews what had I missed ???
A quick YouTube search and there it was…push the HIGH POWERE BUTTON!!!
BOOM A JET AS POWERFUL AS NIAGRA FALLS CAME SQURITING FROM THE HYDROSHOT!!!
BRILLIANT so a clean car, gutters and caravan have ensued since getting it.
It’s not going to be as strong as a main power washer but then it’s not meant to be.
All in all 9/10 for an easy to use versatile jet wash….REMEMBER TO PUSH THE HIGH POWER BUTTON WHEN YOU USE IT
Attached photo of my newly washed car! See other reviews to see what polish I used. Hope this review helps and have a fab day
