Well, this is the first example of a kind of tool I've never seen before
0:09
It's a cordless power washer. It takes a battery. Back end here
0:17
You want to use a fairly large battery with something like this, but essentially this is a portable
0:28
kind of pressure washer. don't think it's as powerful as a regular pressure washer gasoline or even electric
0:35
because it's not it's not really meant to take the place of a pressure washer
0:41
that's why they call it a power washer I've used it a little bit and what I've found
0:48
it most useful for is the fact that it can draw water you don't need a hose you
0:54
don't need a pressurized water supply for it so if you've got some fairly light-duty
1:00
to do and it's not near a hose, then filling a bucket with water and using one of these is just the thing
1:08
It's kind of like a pressure washer in that it has different angles of nozzles
1:13
So the more concentrated the nozzle the better power the more concentrated power you going to get I find that though even with the narrowest nozzle so that the most concentrated
1:27
cleaning pressure, you're not likely to hurt surfaces too much. I think it probably will end up being the nozzle that I use most often
1:37
but it can be connected to a garden hose if you've got that kind of water around
1:44
around but if not then it comes with this intake hose which goes in a bucket of water
1:51
or any kind of cleaning solution and it siphons it up and pushes it out at 550
1:58
pounds per square inch which is certainly a lot more than regular municipal water
2:04
pressure which may be you know 50 60 70 PSI but it's a lot less than a
2:10
pressure washer which might be two three four thousand PSI so Don't make the mistake of thinking this is going to get you out of needing a pressure washer for heavy duty cleaning because it won't
2:21
But it is kind of handy in that it's portable. It also has a soap dispenser, which takes the place of the nozzle
2:32
It just clips in there when you want to apply soap to a surface
2:37
This is just kind of your general wetting down nozzle. It not very powerful But let give this a try and I show you what it can do and maybe what it can do so that you can make an informed decision It not for everyone
2:50
I do know a contractor who washes siding and he uses something like this because he can reach up higher while he's administering
2:59
and siding shouldn't really be blasted too hard anyway. It often needs a little bit of scrubbing too
3:06
So it takes the same batteries as other dual cordless tools. And just do a little washing here
3:19
Well, let's see what it'll do on this bird poo. Well, that's certainly more powerful
3:35
It's certainly more powerful than a garden hose and I think it should probably remove some of this
3:40
So let's see what difference the soap will make
4:01
One thing you should know is that it not a good idea to use regular dish soap in any kind of a dispensed soap tool like this and that because it foams up very much The stuff I have in here is especially meant for pressure washers and power washers
4:17
so let's see if it makes much of a difference here. Smells nice anyway
4:33
I'm Okay, so there you have it. The Duwalt DCPW 550 power cleaner
5:09
I call it here a power washer, but as I said, good portable, light duty cleaning
5:16
Didn't do a bad job on this like and I'm sure those boards are going to look quite nice and bright when it dries off
