EGO Power+ HPW3204-2 Cordless 3200 PSI Pressure Washer with 2 x 6.0Ah Batteries and 320W Charger

Let's start with the obvious: this is a battery powered machine, and as such, it has a limited runtime on a single charge. If you are a person that needs to use a power washer for large projects and/or long periods of time in a single session, you probably do not want a battery powered machine. So if you plan on getting all of your power washing needs for the year done in a single weekend, this is probably not for you. But if you are like me, and get in an hour here and an hour there throughout the year, then read on.... Out of the box: Set up is very easy. You need a Phillips screw driver to attach the wand mounts, but that is the only tool you need. Total time from unboxing to useable is about 15 minutes...but you will want to get the batteries charged first, so figure 2 hours. Use: VERY easy to use. Simply attach to a water supply hose, choose your nozzle, hit the power and go. I have not used the siphon function or the foam spray, so I have no comment on those accessories. I imagine that the siphon feature, which allows you to draw water from a pond, a pool, a barrel, or other standing water source, might be very important for a portable battery powered unit, but I personally don't have a need for these features and therefore have not used them. Portability: The unit is easily portable and relatively light weight without the batteries. There is an area of my property that is only accessible from the interior of my home, so I have to lug the power washer through my house and up stairs. With this unit I can do this easily and not worry about spilling gas or getting any odors from a gasoline engine in my house. I also don't have to worry about extension cords which would be needed for a plug-in unit. Runtime: I have been consistently getting 40 minutes of nearly continuous runtime on two fully charged 6 Ah batteries (supplied with the unit) when I operate in the "HIGH" setting. I have not needed to operate in the "Turbo" setting, but based on other reviews and the owners manual, continuous operation in "TURBO" will reduce runtime to 15-20 minutes, but I have not confirmed this. "ECO" mode, which I have not been using, should get you to a full hour of continuous use, but again, I have not confirmed this. Performance: Bottom line...OUTSTANDING. Better than any plug-in electric washer I have used. Not as good as some of the best gas powered washers I have used, but honestly you cannot expect it to be. At the end of the day, this unit has more than enough pressure (psi) and water throughput (gallons/hour) to handle the vast majority of a home owners tasks. Leaks: I have read some other reviews that complain about the poor fit of the quick releases and subsequent leakage. I have not seen this problem. I haven't seen a single drip from any of the fittings so far with my use, even when I left the unit attached to a pressured water supply overnight. Other: I love that the nozzles fit right into the top of the unit for easy storage and accessibility. Batteries: The unit comes with two 6 Ah, 56 V batteries. You MUST use two fully charged batteries in the unit at the same time. Don't even think about using only one battery or mixing a partially charged battery with a fully charged one..the unit will run, but runtime will be limited to the lowest charged battery. And do NOT mix and match batteries...probably only an issue for those of you who have other EGO products that might use a 2.5 Ah, 4 Ah or 5 Ah battery. Be sure to ONLY use the 6 Ah batteries together as a pair, and that they are fully charged when you start. I suspect that some of the battery runtime complaints are a result of not using both batteries at a full charge, mixing batteries or only using one battery. Summary: I don't need, nor do I want, to be power washing for hours at a time. My needs require portability, cleanliness and performance for relatively short (approximately 30 minute) projects a few times a week. This EGO unit fits perfectly into that niche. From a performance and ease of use perspective, it is way better than my last two plug-in electric power washers. I have used gas powered washers that were better from a speed of cleaning perspective, but there isn't anything that the EGO hasn't been able to clean for me at this point..with the caveat that it may take a bit more time. Cons: 1. Expensive...seriously expensive. One can easily get the same power washing performance for less than half the price. So you are paying a lot for the portability. 2. Only comes with one battery charger...this is ridiculous considering the cost of the unit and that it requires two batteries. EGO should definitely ship this unit with two chargers so you can charge both batteries simultaneously. That being said, if you buy this washer, you likely have other EGO equipment and therefore are not short on chargers. 3. Limited runtime...again, this is inherent to any battery powered piece of equipment. If you need hours of continuous runtime, either buy more batteries or select a plug-in electric or gas powered unit. Hope this helps!

I really like the EGO Power+ Pressure Washer overall. It’s strong, easy to use, and has the convenience of being cordless—which makes setup and movement a breeze compared to gas or plug-in models. That said, my only real gripe (and it’s not unique to EGO) is that battery technology still isn’t quite there for long sessions. It works great for quick jobs or spot cleaning, but for extended use, you’ll either need multiple batteries or take breaks to recharge. Still, for what it is, I’m happy with it. Just keep your expectations realistic about run time, especially if you’re tackling larger projects.

Love this DC pressure washer with longer hose than my electric washer. I like the controls on the handle for changing pressure. When cleaning boulders in my garden, I can reduce power when I clean near ground cover. It is really heavy so I wheel it out and install batteries once I have it in place. (It does help that wheels are large.) Battery life is short when using on highest pressure so I have 2 extra batteries. Yes, it was expensive but so much easier to use without the struggle of moving around with watering hose AND power cord. Cleaning power is superior to my electric pressure washer. I have a SunJoe circular attachment to use on this machine for cleaning the street swale making for speedy cleaning.

At first it was hard to make it work but now i have the hang of it. And i think that its great. I couldn’t have had a better purchase

Well built and designed, I like the way everything has a place to be stored on the unit. It’s powerful enough for most light/medium work. Only drawback for me is there are no attachments to clean siding - even just a second story. I’ve even had smaller AC powered units that had a wand that worked well enough for me.
