I used to make fun of battery powered equipment. Now I’ve got ego pole saw, chainsaw, hedge trimmer, weedeater, and push mower. Next purchase will be this pressure washer. The stuff is legit. And the noise reduction is awesome.
I have a lot of EGO products and they are pricey but pretty solid so far. I like having a pressure washer that I don't have to plug-in and will suck water from a bucket. Makes it very portable
Turbo nozzles are designed to optimize and maximize the pressure you can get out of your pressure washer, all the while cleaning surfaces faster and better without exerting more effort. I'm surprised it came with it normally it's a extra accessory that you can purchase separately
If you’re someone like me who’s fully invested in the Ego ecosystem with several of their products and therefore has several high capacity batteries, then I think their power washer is a perfect investment and I can’t wait to get it in a few months. But without even having to use it in person, I definitely wouldn’t recommend it if it’s your only ego product. Just get an electric one in my opinion. Gas is too much of a hassle for the minor benefits you’d get compared to just electric.
I was wrong. I thought the gas would smoke them all. Great to know as I'll be in the market soon so looks like Ego will get my money. Thanks for doing this.
For the same $799 you can get a very nice Simpson with a Honda engine like the model ALH3425 or similar. It'll outlast 10 times the Ego and give you better performances.
There is something important you are not mentioning: The corded version power rating. In North America the standard outlet has a 15A breaker, but extension cords are rated 10 Amps. This place the corded version at the limit of a optimally maintained outlet with not extension cords possible.
Good point, light/standard duty extension cords seem to be rated 10-13A. It costs ~$50-75 for a "heavy duty" 50ft 12ga extension cord to reach the 15amp mark. This causes additional logistical problems too, if you're limited to a job site with less than 15amps available.
greenworks has a 20 amp model which can switch to 15 amp if you dont have a 20 amp circuit. its 3000 psi with a tri plex pump , its around 700 bucks but is meant for commercial use
Should've used the same tip for all . As for cleaning a driveway a surface cleaner is a better option than a tip and I highly doubt a battery powered power washer will be able to run one well. Also electricity and batteries don't mix well with water. For the price of the Ego one can pick up a Simpson pressure washer with a Honda engine that puts out 3600PSI and 2.5GPM.
I appreciate the comment for sure! I used the tip provided by the manufacturer. It would be unfair to the brands that actually provide good tips if I gave everyone the same tip.
@@TheLawnReview Comparing a 15 degree nozzle to a Turbo nozzle makes this an apple to oranges comparison and a variable that needed to be eliminated. I'm willing to bet that if you used the turbo for all they would all have similar results considering the tested powerwashers' PSI are all relatively similar.
@@TheLawnReview That's the beauty of quick connects, you can change out the tips. Unless the Ego is some proprietary size and wouldn't fit the other wands. Here's a video that shows how the Turbo nozzle cleans better than a 15 degree. Same pressure washer, just swapping out the tips. th-cam.com/video/dmOpGUk0im0/w-d-xo.html
I still can't get on board with battery for bigger jobs. I pressure wash my deck and driveway every couple years. It takes 2 to 3 hours to get it all. I couldn't imagine having to stop every 60 minutes to recharge the batteries and wait an hour for them to charge. Either that, or buying $400+ worth of extra batteries and chargers. I could live with corded electric if I had to, but then I'd need a 75 ft extension cord and the plug would be getting soaked and tripping the GFCI plug outside. (Speaking from experience). In a perfect world, I'd have a battery powered for easy quick work like washing the car or cleaning a small patch, and a gas powered for when I have serious work to do. And it looks like you need a better nozzle on that gas pressure washer, that zebra striping shouldn't happen with a wider nozzle. Even though I know you were just using as they suggested.
Thanks for the comment man! I agree, they’re fine for someone with something pretty small but probably not for most folks. What’d you think of the audio levels? I tried a new way of editing them and hoping it turned out right
@@TheLawnReview everything sounded great. Volume was good and consistent. If it wasn't, it was close enough that I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.
The EGO unit is great for someone in your situation if you are already invested in the EGO tools and already have more batteries. All the issues of run time go away once you have two or three other batteries from say a mower or a trimmer.
Put the turbo on the gas nozzle on the gas ..I guarantee it will clean better then both the others..that's why it's called a turbo nozzle it adds pressure
I think this opinion makes a lot of sense. Basically, if you need a pressure washer for around the house use and small projects go with ego. If you need something stronger, it'll be more expensive anyway, and unless you're going to be running a business, either buy a separate product for those big jobs or hire a professional.
Hey man I just subscribed? Have you reviewed Westinghouse WPX3200e Electric Pressure Washer? I've spent a ton of time looking for someone doing actual psi and gpm tests on it but I haven't found a food one. First time pressure washer buyer here. Would like to trust the advertised specs but it's clear not to when it comes to pressure washers unfortunately. Thanks for the help in advance if I do get it!
This wasn't a fair comparison. You didn't use the same nozzle for all 3. I prefer a gas pressure washer and then a good electric pressure washer. I can't see myself using a battery powered pressure washer.
@TheLawnReview each nozzle was designed and tested for each machine. This means the orifice was tested to see what size works best for the pressure washer. You can't test a turbo 0 degree nozzle with a regular 0 degree nozzle. It's not on the same play field. Next time, be fair
@@fitodaking16 It was quite fair with what was offered in each kit. Most people are going to buy a kit and use what's in it. They are not going to source a different orifice size and do the R&D that the company has done. Don't let your OCD get the best of you dude.
@RacerX-M5 he's testing each pressure washer, right? Meaning he's testing which pressure washer is best. If thats the case, he should use the same nozzle for each 1. Thats fair. You can't compare a regular nozzle with a turbo nozzle.
You used a turbo head on the EGO. And used a regular head on the Petrol You cant compare the 2. Petrol wouldhave still outlasted the Electric, and if you used the turbo head on the Petrol it would have left the EGO for dead..🫵🫵
@@TheLawnReview admittedly, I'm still undecided on which to get to pressure wash a house. You've obviously got several, I'll take your least favorite off your hands. 😊🫴
I was looking to getting an Ego and this was a great video that pretty much stamped my decision. Thanks for the great review.

Yep it’s come a long way and will probably get even better

Yeah I agree with you here!
Yep, if you already have several high capacity EGO batteries, the bare tool version of the EGO pressure washer is a great option.
I was wrong. I thought the gas would smoke them all. Great to know as I'll be in the market soon so looks like Ego will get my money. Thanks for doing this.
Of course - thanks for watching!
You can get a much better gas model for the money of the Ego
@@lopincol Can you give your recommendations?
For the same $799 you can get a very nice Simpson with a Honda engine like the model ALH3425 or similar. It'll outlast 10 times the Ego and give you better performances.
The Ego will suck water out of a bucket. Making it usable anywhere you can carry water and the unit.
That’s a nice benefit too

@shay1116 the gas one did not have a turbo nozzle.

I didn't get how long did the battery last for? I think that the gas one lasted 30 minutes, right?
Yep it was surprisingly short
Does the ego have a corded option to plug it in if the battery dies ?
It doesn’t. Pure battery.
Dealbreaker for me, should’ve doubled as a charger too for something consuming so much energy
I still can't get on board with battery for bigger jobs. I pressure wash my deck and driveway every couple years. It takes 2 to 3 hours to get it all.

what’s the best electric pressure washer wire the highest gpm in your opinion
Probably the Greenworks one in this video TBH
Put the turbo on the gas nozzle on the gas ..I guarantee it will clean better then both the others..that's why it's called a turbo nozzle it adds pressure
It can’t add pressure. The PSI is the PSI. It can narrow the opening but the gas one didn’t come with it.
it seems like it was a nozzle test, more than a fuel-type test
It’s what comes with each one. The gas could have used the same nozzle as the others but doesn’t.
I think this opinion makes a lot of sense. Basically, if you need a pressure washer for around the house use and small projects go with ego. If you need something stronger, it'll be more expensive anyway, and unless you're going to be running a business, either buy a separate product for those big jobs or hire a professional.
That about nails it! Thanks for watching.

Ego does not play around. They bring it every cycle of New tools.
I was impressed by this one..
Im not impressed with electric other than washing a car or rv
You used a turbo head on the EGO. And used a regular head on the Petrol
You cant compare the 2. Petrol wouldhave still outlasted the Electric, and if you used the turbo head on the Petrol it would have left the EGO for dead..🫵🫵
Then the gas one should have come with a turbo. Don’t hate the player hate the game
