When I compare this to my trusty WORX that wen’t to the graveyard last week, I have to say I am thoroughly impressed. Bought one of these for cleaning off the gear on site as its portable, runs on battery and can take water from a bucket if needed.

The wheels are made of plastic but are high quality and strong just like the rest of this durable cordless pressure washer. Setup is super easy, make sure you have a quality hose connector and your hosepipe then away you go. The quick-release coupler for the hose is not up to the toughness standard I associate with DeWalt Tools, though. I also kept having it lose pressure, maybe like an internal tank was being drained as I would go along, so I would have to stop spraying for a minute and let it catch up.It has a nice design where the water flows out of the centre of the brush head and straight onto the surface you want to clean. It’s not been around long enough since I first wrote the article based on the WORX I bought but I think had it been – this might well have been my pick. There is the most powerful pencil jet which you would use for things like dried up mud clumps, a 15 degree fan jet for getting into tighter areas, a 50 degree wide spray that is better for cleaning larger things like a bicycle or garage door, and a shower spray pattern that is perfect for giving your pets a bath.

Though the DCPW550B 20V Max is a little bulky with the big battery compartment and the pressure isn't the strongest (but on par with similar tools), it is a great solution for small on-the-go and remote cleaning jobs. and in addition to that the Dewalt Charger DCB115 it's input voltage is 120V AC, I was not able to use it and I waited for the Step-Up/Step-Down Transformer which enables me to plugged in 110V, as of December 29, 2023, I charged the Dewalt 20V 6.I cleaned my conservatory and gutters with a WORX Cordless Pressure Cleaner and it was enough to inspire this review. That is quite incredible really considering we are talking about using a very safe 18 volts compared to mains power.

The multi jet nozzle is a real bonus too – no need to do much to change settings other than twist the nozzle.The 15 degree fan tip IS also ok for effective cleaning, but you still need to it be just a few inches from the surface being cleaned. It’s arrived late on the scene in real terms (maybe three years behind the WORX) but it’s quickly become a best seller and quite frankly, it’s easy to see why. Self priming is very poor…I had to pre fill the hose, but once underway it did suck from the bucket ok. Please note, that with the high water flow rate, you’ll have to make a few trips to refill the tank if you’re cleaning something large.
