WORX WG630E.1 4.0Ah Cordless Brushless Hydroshot Portable Pressure Cleaner, Black, 18V (20V Max)

After my Karcher caught fire mid car wash leaving me with a half rinsed car, I was on the hunt for a portable jet wash. I live on a large property and the water supply and mains access is a good 50ft from where I wash my cars, making it a tedious task setting everything up and moving it around with extensions for things needing to be lugged around as well as hose pipes!Enter the Worx battery powered Jetwash. I purchased the WG630E.1 brushless as I required the power for the common jetwashing tasks such as car washing, patio and house exterior maintenance. Upon arrival the item was easy to assemble, I also purchased the snow foam bottle and short lance accessories, as well as some universal jetwash nozzles for other purposes.The battery was quick to charge up, and I was soon outside ready to clean. I first cleaned my new (old) table an chairs, and stripped the green moss and dirt clean off without issue. Then we had a go at the dirt on my van, and it stripped this back to an acceptable level much the same as the karcher would. I then did a few block paving stones and it easily took back the dirt layers with no soap etc to help. All of this was achieved without once having to rearrange wires, jet wash units or hose pipes, I just had one hose pipe behind me which was very manageable. I like the fact you don't need a mains water source to supply the jet wash, you can easily drop the collector pipe in to a pond, river, bucket, whatever you can find really, and there is also an attachment to supply water from a bottle but I don't know how long that would last.The power of this jet wash is impressive considering it is powered by just a 20v battery. It obviously is no comparison to some mains powered jet washes, but then you wouldn't base the effectiveness of a mains powered drill to a battery powered one considering the uses they are intended.A few reviewers mention the power of the jet wash is no different when the trigger is pressed, however this seems to come down to poor assembly by the user, you need to make the sure the nozzle attachment is completely clicked in to place or it won't allow the proper pressure to pass through.I have marked the weight down on this product slightly as this version is quite heavy, and after a long session of jetwashing my arms were getting a bit tired, but then again I am not built for my strength...but with two hands it is perfectly manageable and I would advise anyone considering a cordless jet wash to consider this.

The uses for this are ENDLESS, and the portability and ability to prime itself via ANY water-source is by far its best feature. The pressure is more than enough for most tasks, and it's a joy to use. Battery life is excellent and even better when using ECO Mode, which is all that is really needed for car & boat washing. If you want a jet washer without all the weight that can be used anywhere, this powerful machine is the one to buy. It's a bit pricey, but worth it for the performance and convenience, especially if you have multiple RVs and boats. Plus, you can carry a water source [or find a canal] and wash your vehicles virtually anywhere - instead of at home on your drive ! I see the price has now reduced so it really is a bargain now @ £179 ! [Despite paying £215 I still think it was worth every penny]

UPDATE:In the interests of fairness, I wanted to update my original review to advise that I managed to improve the water pressure to a far more acceptable and usable level. In essence whilst the select-able spray attachment had been fixed in place and was working as expected in terms of the type of spray being generated, I decided to remove it, check for any blockage and reattach. After doing so and making sure it was properly connected to the lance (this time there was a more pronounced click which I didn't notice before), performance improved significantly. As a result the Hydroshot proved perfectly suitable for the purpose I bought it for, i.e. a quick and convenient clean of the car without having to drag out the hose or my powered jet wash. A couple of 2 litre bottles was enough to wet and rinse off bodywork and wheels, (hatchback) although they are emptied fast. And the battery more than stood up to the task. As a result, I'd now give the product 4 stars.ORIGINAL REVIEW:Not what I expected at all unless I'm missing something obvious and the Power button that others speak of is separate to the ECO ON / OFF button, which is the only switch I can find to regulate the pressure. (Albeit from very weak to a little less weak) With the battery fully charged and regardless of the spray-type setting on the lance, performance is really disappointing and a lot less than I can achieve with a garden hose. I wasn't expecting anywhere near what my Nilfisk pressure washer can achieve but I was expecting more than this unit delivers. A real pity as the product itself seems robust and the portability is excellent.
