Best cordless pressure washers for fast cleaning 2024

The WORX Hydroshot is for people who have small areas to clean. The full kit includes a brush, soap bottle, and a foldable water bucket, meaning you'll have all the accessories you need to make your garden furniture sparkle. This compact 1.75kg machine is 10 times stronger than a garden hose. With 120 litres per hour (l/h) flow rate, 25 bar maximum pressure, and 20V, you'll make light work of smaller jobs.

Reviewers report being pleased with the accessories this washer comes with. The cleaning brush gets top marks for window washing, the soap bottle can be filled with a detergent for extra cleaning power if it's required, and that handy foldable water bucket gets the thumbs up for times when you can't use your outdoor tap.

So you can either drop the draw hose into a water butt, pond, or bucket - or hook it up to your garden tap. Some reviewers rate this WORX option to clean cars, saying it has a superb action for spraying down after a wash and offers plenty of power to clean under-wheel arches.

The spec on the Aguri Power Clean is impressive - with 45 bar pressure and a 40V battery - it's twice as powerful as other cordless pressure washers. Additionally, it claims to have a battery life that gives 50 minutes of continuous cleaning. It's super lightweight, too, at 1.6kg, ideal for light/medium-duty work.

Reviewers say this pressure washer is fabulous for washing down bikes after a muddy cycle ride and can make short work of cleaning muck off garden furniture.

This pressure washer comes complete with a carry case and includes a short medium-pressure wand, a long high-pressure wand, a soap gun, and a six-metre hose and filter. Reviewers appreciate the fact you can use this washer with water from a bucket, making it another super-portable option.

Ideal for cleaning your garden tools, this Ryobi is a powerful alternative to a garden hose with a lot less faff. The syphoning kit pulls water from any fresh water source, and the 3-in-1 nozzle includes a turbo nozzle for tough cleaning. Whilst it's not the most powerful cordless pressure washer, it is an effective machine.

This pressure washer has seen success in various outdoor tasks with happy customers saying it's aced cleaning grimy wheelie bins, has managed to shift green algae off windows, and is a classic choice for cleaning cars, especially if you don't have the luxury of a driveway to run a hose to.

Reviewers also suggest it's a good tool to keep on top of outdoor grime in between more thorough cleaning sessions. Use the 15-degree fan spray for general cleaning, and a shower function for rinsing. The Ryobi can be used for up to 30 minutes on a single charge - but please note that this is sold as a "bare tool" so the required battery is not included.

Review by our sister publication CAR magazine: "The Ryobi impressed us with its powerful cleaning ability. There are three nozzles to choose from and we tested all three. The Turbo setting was the most powerful and was effective on all kinds of dirt, the 15-degree fan was good for smaller spaces, and the rinse setting was good for wetting surfaces."

"The handle has an ergonomic design and reasonably low weight meant that it was easy to use, and the six-metre hose offers flexibility, especially as it means you don't need to move the water source every two minutes. The attachments are good with the foam lance proving an effective tool for snow foaming."

Turn drab to fab - with a maximum flow rate of 270l/h, 22 bar, and 20V battery, this is one of the best cordless pressure washers from a well-known brand. Yard Force has produced a compact and ergonomic machine that's ideal for light domestic use, with reviewers appreciating the manageable weight and dimensions.

In particular, the ergonomic design of the two-position rotary rear handle means this tool can be used by some who might struggle with an alternatively styled pressure washer.

The 3-in-1 nozzle offers Jet, Turbo and Low-pressure settings for cleaning a range of surfaces. Additionally, the Aquajet comes with a brush, foaming bottle, six-metre hose, charger, 20V lithium-ion battery, a storage bag, and a handy bucket.

Described as robust by many reviewers, the DayPlus Cordless Power Washer is smaller than alternatives but packs a significant punch, with a maximum flow rate of 270l/h, 45 bar pressure and a 21V battery. It's easy to draw water from a bottle, bucket, or any open water source and adjust the nozzle from zero to a 180-degree water spray.

From cleaning chairs and garden furniture to blasting grass cuttings from the underside of a lawnmower, the multi-functional spray makes this model versatile. This gets top marks for a range of jobs, from tough tasks like shifting bird mess to more gentle activities such as watering the garden.

In addition, the DayPlus has a built-in foaming device for rich and delicate foam, great for cleaning doors and window frames. This model comes with 2 1.5Ah batteries, two nozzles, two connectors, a foam pot, and a 16ft hose.

Unlike other cordless pressure washers, this model from Sealey comes with its own 25-litre container to store it away and also provides a convenient water bucket for cleaning. It boasts the most efficient battery life of all the cordless pressure washers we've reviewed, but it's also the least powerful.

Helping that great battery life is Sealey's "automatic total stop system" which switches the motor on and off when the trigger is operated. Whilst reviewers rate it as ideal for cleaning garden furniture, bikes and cars, it's not quite up to the task of removing stains from stonework.

This pressure washer is equipped with four wheels on its base, this, and the fact you get a generous eight-metre hose, means this is a strong option for moving around larger vehicles as you wash them.

Whether you're cleaning Venetian blinds in your conservatory or washing the mud off your bike, this handheld pressure washer gets points from reviewers as a reliable option for light cleaning tasks. While it doesn't boast the highest water flow rate, it does pack 24 bar pressure and comes with a 5-in-1 nozzle, inlet hose with connector, soap bottle, nozzle, and mesh bag.

Anyone who regularly uses a pressure washer in their outside spaces will appreciate the fact this comes complete with a quick connect adapter so you can run the Stanley FatMax off your garden hose - as long as you're not subject to a hose pipe ban, of course.

You can just also run this washer from a bucket, with one reviewer delighted at how clean this managed to get a neglected apartment balcony with the railings, windows, and floor area considerably cleaner, and with considerably less pigeon poo.
