MAKITA HW132 2100w 140 bar Pressure Washer

Pressure Washers make light work of many outdoor cleaning tasks, but how do you pick the right one?

One of the most important properties of any Pressure Washer is the Pressure Rating, which is measured in Bar. This tells you the level of pressure applied to the water as it leaves the machine so, the higher the rating, the greater the force with which the water will meet the item being cleaned. Therefore, tools with higher Pressure Ratings are great for dealing with stubborn dirt and harder surfaces, such as concrete paving.

It's also worth thinking about the Flow Rate, which tells you how quickly water leaves the tool. If you need to speed up a task such as cleaning a car, a higher flow rate can be helpful. We suggest selecting a tool which offers a Pressure Level and Flow Rate appropriate for the jobs you’ll do most often.

That depends on why you need a Pressure Washer to start with. At ToolStore UK, we cater for home users and trade professionals alike and our range includes light duty battery-powered machines with 100 Bar of pressure, right up to industrial Surface Cleaners with Flow Rates of 40 Litres per minute and a Pressure Rating of 275 Bar.
