It seems to be a new product of DeWALT, and it's an electric one. Given the spec 8.5L per min, 8m braided hose, 2320 max PSI, and the brand.
$399 seems to be tempted to buy.

Can't find if the 8.5LPM is a max spec or typical/min. A lot of cheap pressure washers call out a max LPM, but will never get close to it or even touch it. ESP those cheap aldi ones. A good indication is the size/weight of the pressure washer. Need big strong pumps to maintain the high pressure and flowrate.
It's on the 2nd image. However, they did not say whether this is a aluminum pump or not.
This seems to be a bunnings exclusive so I don't expect the price to drop initially. It is not even on dewalt website
Yes it is an aluminium pump. I have one
Thanks. How did you get it so quick? Buying from bunnings I assume because this one is super new
Have you got a chance to use it yet? Wondering if its good for car/driveway/paver cleaning. I know there are cheaper options but I want to invest in a more powerful one
I assume you must be wrong to say have this one because this is pretty new and it seems that it's only available at Bunnings.
But it would be great if you can share which model you are using, which could be very helpful for other viewers.
I'm looking up Karcher specs to compare, and they claim over 50 LPM, which sounds like maximum, but I don't think any of these small pressure washers would flow at 50 LPM. That's 0.8 L/s!
Where have you seen one with 50LPM!?
I think it is an inflated number to artificially make it look good. Like this one at 63 LPM. https://www.bunnings.com.au/karcher-k3-corded-full-control-h…
@Toj33p: You're right, it's a typo on the Bunnings website across both Karcher and Gerni ranges. The actual Karcher website lists the correct max flow.
Worryingly, none of the images or text specify what kind of connection this uses on the hose. What accessories can it use? Are they a proprietary fit?
Not sure if proprietary to dewalt but they use a M22 connection
What is M22 connection?
Package weighs 12kg, so about double that of a Karcher K2 and K3, but similar in weight to a K4.
Thank you so much, OP.
This looks like a really good buy (ticks all the boxes) on paper. However, I cannot seem to find any decent reviews of how it performs in the real world.
I will hold off for now, and will be keeping an eye on it.I'd check the US part numbers and look for reviews based on that instead.
This or the Gerni 5300 for $449?
I was looking at getting the gerni 5300, as it comes with the patio attachment also which would be very handy.I think it's advisable to hold and keep an eye on this thread, if this DeWalt one is good, then go for it because of the brand, and it's more powerful even cheaper.
Ended up getting the Gerni 5300 for Xmas, for $50 more it's got a more powerful rated PSI (not max PSI as per thread below by @lucashearne), comes with patio cleaner. Least it has 7 years warranty also.
We'll see.
Gerni is no longer what it used to be, started making cheap crap products and now is only sold in Bunnings. Something like JVC, the products that come out now, have nothing to do with the old JVC company.
Gerni is no longer what it used to be
Once upon a time, I believe folks simply uttered the magic word "gerni" instead of "pressure cleaner"…
Gerni has 9m length hose and to buy the nozzle head is only $10, something to keep in mind
Is this overkill for washing gutters, ie to remove gutter black streaks?
Bought this at Bunning and was disappointed when I read the specs in the instructions. The operating pressure is only 1740 PSI. 2320 PSI is the maximum pressure.
The maximum pressure is the amount of pressure it can handle before almost breaking. Manufactures always set operating pressure a bit lower than maximum pressure One example is Gerni set their operating pressure 73 PSI less than max. Dewalt is setting theirs 580 PSI less than max.
My guess is the Dewalt max is really only about 1800. Regardless of the real max, based on the specs in their manual, you are buying a 1740 PSI operating pressure machine, which is very low operating pressure for this price.
It seems to be a common industry practice even with some of gernis own line up. Seems only the gerni 5300 and 7000 are only derated by 73 psi? given the 5x00 and 7x00 series share the same motor and max psi but different working pressures, do you think it could perhaps be a choice made for the longevity of the unit?

Thank you so much for this analysis.
Would you happen to know the working PSI of the following Karcher units (for comparison purposes)?
• Karcher K5 - 2300 PSI max
• Karcher K6 - ? (discontinued)
• Karcher K7 - 2600 PSI maxYou can find it by downloading the user manual from karcher website although you have to convert it to PSI from mpa. TBH i wouldn't buy a plastic pump karcher anyway.
for the k5 its 2300psi max, 12mpa(1740psi) working pressure. Which seem to be bang on with the dewalt specsCan't be arsed to look up all the other models sorry.

Plastic pump? This is news to me. On all Karcher models? 🤦🏻
Can't be arsed to look up all the other models sorry.
No worries. I will look them up myself.
In any case, what is the point of supplying a fancy sprayer with a digital display, if these machines come with a plastic pump?
@DoctorCalculon: Yeah beats me mate, seems like a gimmick feature to me. I don't see the point in reducing the power of the machine, just move the nozzle further away and get more work done in less time.For these <3000psi units anyway which seem to be most electric units.
Im not too sure if all of them are plastic pumps but the ones in my budget (k4 and under) are marketed to have a "corrossion free pump" but in reality their trying to up market an inferior plastic pump. Many reviews of these pump housings splitting and repair costing way more than the units worth.
Thanks for that info.
so, how does it perform? Or did you take it back?
@zoner: I've got one and initially i was disappointed with the performance, but realised i had a blockage in my garden hose so it couldnt keep up with the gernis water draw. this thing hauls ass, it's got bucket loads of power. the only thing i don't like about it is it doesnt seem to use a standardised fitting so cant get other accesories like patio cleaners and foam lances. tho the foam lance it comes with is decent imo.
I've got one and initially i was disappointed with the performance
couldnt keep up with the gernis water draw.
I am confused.
Did you buy the Dewalt machine mentioned in this deal or a Gerni?
@DoctorCalculon: I was wondering the same, hence my question below about general consensus if the dewalt is actually any good or not?
@DoctorCalculon: Sorry, i did buy the dewalt unit and have had it for over a month now and used it on every concrete surface at my house, and all my cars.
In terms of power, it's got bucket loads. It utilises the lavosh style fitting, so can get that online.
It utilises the lavosh style fitting
I googled that, and could not find anything relevant to hose fittings. However, it did make me hungry.
Pardon my ignorance, but what do the "lavosh style" fittings look like exactly? Also, why are there no relevant results on a Google search? Possible typo?
@DoctorCalculon: sorry got auto corrected. It's called a 'lavor' style connector, good to know if you want to use an aftermarket foam cannon, or want to switch to a full quick connect handle system.
On further analysis the gernis more "professional" line (the one with 5 +2 years warranty) are the ones that are only 73psi below the max psi
Would anyone know the water outlet connection for the Gerni 5300? Typically the old Gerni's had an uncommon M21 thread with 14mm internal diameter, is this still the case or have they finally gone with a standard M22 thread?
It's not a threaded connection, it's a push in connection
Thanks for the info. That's a bit of effort to look at all the manuals to find the info.
By the way, how did you get the RACPWS140K for $99? I bought it for $129 on the weekend and this is a automotive kit with 7m hose, foam bottle and straight brush. I can see the exact pressure washer by itself (RPW140-G) with 5m hose for $99
So what's the verdict guys, any good?

Only 8 upvotes. So, I guess this one is not a hot buy after all.
Not sure this is a “deal” but that looks like a well spec’d machine as are most DeWalt tools. Wish I’d waited a month!
