WORX Cordless Hydroshot Portable Pressure Cleane

Fab item - lightweight.compact and portable. Effective and great for watering the garden from a watering can during the hose pipe ban.

I have to say I was delighted at the sight of this "gun like" weapon when it arrived. My first attempt to use it resulted in the extension tube and sprinkler attachment flying off the end onto the lawn. After watching a You Tube video I realised they both had to be pushed to fit with mighty strength, then it was fine. The very next day I used the two litre bottle method to squirt water as the You Tube advisors assured me that as the water had so little distance to travel it would be a stronger pressure and that made sense to me. Eagerly I went outside and aimed the gun at the edge of the guttering on my conservatory as it was dirty, suffice to say it's still dirty. I tried it on the window sills outside, they are still dirty although it moved a bit, then I ran out of water and had to refill the bottle. I then watched the You Tube demonstrations by many others and realised they were all using a cloth or some sort of wiping medium to clean off the looose dirt (on a vehicle) ) after the spraying. There is a brush with the kit and I have not yet tried that but I have a feeling that may be more successful. I (like many others I guess) assumed that the word PRESSURE was a key word in the cleaning but it only seems to be a key word in pushing the water down a spout out of the gun and of course that saves a back aching lot of work if you use a wet cloth. It also comes with a soap dispenser (DO NOT USE DISH WASHING LIQUID) so I am convinced now that the combination of common sense and wetting a car all over with the recommended washer substance then spraying it in combination with a brush and spray the results would be quite acceptable. PRESSURE washer it is NOT so don't expect it to deep clean your block paving in one go, as it will not do that. Apply common sense and a bit of technique and all will fall into place and at a price far less than a top class high PRESSURE washer. I mention YOU TUBE as the so called instructions on paper are no more than cartoons with no words at all, which serve only to confuse. I do believe there is a printed manual to download but why bother, just watch YOU TUBE!

This took me way longer than it should have to decide to buy due to the amount of conflicting information, so this is my situation I have to park my car quite far from my house road side so have no access to running water or electricity, if you have these then buy a kartcher it will obviously be more powerful, That being said this is plenty powerful for washing your car I previously had one of those 12v pressure washer and this absolutely destroys that, I used demon snow foam and the provided bottle it was extremly thick and clung to the car really well the bottle covers a large portion very quickly I was amazed how good it was, I then used the lance on the 15degree setting it made short work of the rinse off, I have a 20l drum I filled to the top, this still had over a third left after I had fully pre sprayed the car to lose grit then snow foamed it then gone over it twice more to rinse. This is a must buy if you are in a similar situation and you are sick of paying 6 quid a time for a half baked job leaving you car covered in water marks or just dirt in general, When looking to buy myself I was so confused as to what model to get so to break it down the 620,625 and 629 are all the exact same water pressure the only difference is the 620 charges in 1 hour where as the 625 and 29 take up to 3.5hour, but the 629 has a long lance as well as a short one with a lower power setting, other than this they are all the same really sometimes it will say 629.2 or 3 ect this is just an extra digit to state what extra bits come with it. The next step up is the 630 the brushless more powerful model but your looking at 200quid just for the unit and battery, trust me when I say the 620 is plenty powerful for car cleaning. I really hope this helps someone decide as I nearly did not buy it because of conflicting reviews and people saying its only good for watering plants bla bla bla I swear some people's expectations are beyond a joke.

Having a garage several yards away from my house with no mains power, I purchased this to try and make life a little easier in cleaning my motorcycle. 10/10 for portability 10/10 for ease of use Easy to fit together & instructions to follow. Once battery was fully charged I made good use of it. I used this on a bike caked in mud that had hardened over a few weeks and found that it was sufficient to knock off some of the bigger clumps but thinner layers needed some agitating with a brush. I must admit that the nozzle needed to be on the narrower setting to increase the pressure and widened out when rinsing the soap off. The key question most will ask is..."what's the power/pressure like?" I can honestly say that if you want high pressure like well known brands then this is not for you. This is a battery driven pressure washer which works quite well for what it is. I was able to pre-rinse the mud off, then apply snow foam (with their supplied attachment) and then rinse the bike off again. There was still enough power in the battery to keep going. It's worth noting that this guzzles water so would be wise to be near a water source to refill or like me, purchase a couple of deep buckets to be your supply. This is perfect for the tasks I wanted it to do. As for something bigger like an average sized saloon car, caravans or boats too, then I can see that it should be a suitable portable cleaner.

It's OK but it's no Makita. The power is less than a £70 Chinese one I've just had to return due to breakdown after about 6 uses. That's ok because the multi per head still enables it to blast through things and it uses less water. Unfortunately there are a few serious minuses: the lance is too long and therefore a bit floppy and difficult to use, especially with the weight of the multi-head on it - it only needs to be half as long. The bucket clip, a very important piece, is a complete joke. It is very thin, far too flexible and falls off after a few seconds, utterly useless. The 'safety' button is a total pain in use and should not be sprung loaded (as my previous one was, which was much better in this regard), I'll look to see if I can remove or improve it. So, it's quite good, but no more than a 3 star item due to these silly faults that all add up to a poor usage experience. If only Makita made one...
