Car Power Washer for Milwaukee M18 18V Battery 48-11-1850, 550 PSI Cordless Pressure Washer with 6 in 1 Nozzle for Car Cleaning (Battery Not Included)

The number one reason I purchased this item was the fact that it was compatible with all my Milwaukee batteries. This product is perfect for the jobs that I need more power than just a garden hose, but I don't need all of the power from a high-powered pressure washer. I use it around the house for cleaning our vinyl fence, the windows sills of our home, mountain bike etc. I even use it to wash my truck because as I said before it's more powerful than our garden hose. At first I was skeptical about needing to carry a bucket around to use it but I have found that it is an enabled me to use it more remotely.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I ordered this, but thought the concept was unique enough that I wanted to give it a try. The instructions that it comes with are pretty useless, but thankfully with a little common sense you can easily figure out how it works. I don't think the pressure is quite at the 550psi rating that it has, but it's still adequate for most light duty applications.It comes with the base tool, wand, detergent injector, filter pickup, hose, quick connects, and a decent storage bag that is just big enough to hold everything. This DOES NOT come equipped to attach directly to a garden hose, but I'm sure with a little ingenuity and a trip to the hardware store you could probably make it to where it does directly attach. I've used it by allowing a garden hose to flow at mid-speed into a bucket and then had the pickup for this in the same bucket.There are several useful spray settings on the wand that offer a lot of versatility. This is certainly not in the same league as a 2000 or 3000 psi pressure washer. It's good for light duty applications like maybe cleaning the dust off your lawn mower or something like that, but I wouldn't expect it to blast a bunch of mud off your truck or car.Any regular Milwaukee M18 battery or aftermarket equivalent should work just fine with this tool. It does develop heat and gets rather hot over the course of a 20 or 30 minute run time, so keep that in mind. I'd be a little concerned that using it frequently for long periods of time could lead to premature failure of the motor.When mine arrived and I fired it up for the first time without water connected, some water came out of end. I'm thinking a little water was left over from when it was tested....Hopefully I didn't get a unit that had been returned by someone else. That's a little suspect, but as long as it works fine for me I'm sure I'll forget about it.If you could use a battery powered pressure washer for occasional use then this one is worth taking a look at, especially if you already have a battery that will work with it. It fits a very specific need for myself and hopefully it will last a long time. This probably isn't for someone who has unrealistic expectations, but if you've got an open mind then I'd recommend it for you.

Although certainly not as powerful as a plug in or gas powered pressure washer, this little battery power washer has it uses. To use a normal power washer, you have to be able to stretch the water hose and/or ac power cable to use them. With this, all you need in a bucket of water with you.My Milwaukee M18 battery pack snapped right in and fit well. My 4AH battery still had some charge left after two 5 gallon pails of water.The pressure washer comes with clear hose and fittings and an intake screen to be able to use it with a bucket or other water source. It also came with a fitting so you could plug a garden hose right onto the sprayer unit as an alternative.The sprayer has a selection of different pattern nozzles built right into the end you just dial the one you want. The 0 degree nozzle has the smallest pattern and was strong enough to blast bugs off the car. It also had an offset 0 degree nozzle which would be very useful for spraying off the underside of the vehicle where salt and grime accumulate. The different sprays are useful for rinsing off after washing. It came with a foam/soap sprayer that plugs in place of the wand/nozzle. One thing to note is that it cannot take other nozzles like most larger power washers, but the build in ones work fine for this application.In addition to cars, I could see this a a good way to clean a boat even while on the water. Just drop the intake hose into the lake and you can spray down the dust or grime on the boat. No power or water hose needed.So not a power house, but definitely has it application and is very portable. Recommended.

Works with the batteries. However it I assumed I would be able to connected it to my garden hose. It does not come with an adapter for that. Not even sure it's capable if there was an adapter. Seems like you put the hose it comes with into a bucket and spray that way.

I gave this five stars because it does draw the water and spray it out the way it's supposed to, and with different settings, and it does have good pressure. As pictured, it comes with everything you need (except the battery) including a bag to keep it in (although it's tricky getting it all in there and still be able to zip it up), and it comes with something not pictured that I guess is supposed to be a collapsible bucket. It would only be good for holding some water and sponge, definitely not enough for the sprayer, you need a full size pail for this sprayer.Okay, now the downside. If you already have the type of batteries needed, you're okay, if you have to buy one and a charge for it, you're not coming out ahead of buying one that comes with batteries.Also, if you think you're going to get out of it the same as an electric or gas pressure washer, think again, it's good for small jobs. I only planned to use this for rinsing my car off during pollen season (if you live in FL, you know what I'm talking about), I don't know about using it for a complete car washing, I think that would probably require a couple of batteries and a number of trips refilling the bucket.
