This a pre-order as all resellers sold out the first batch quickly.
Be a biggest of boys with this semi-commercial grade electric pressure washer.
This is the unit and soap cannon only. They also sell hoses if you need one.
Delivery is showing $42 to my QLD postcode. I’m close enough to collect though.
I’ve always had great customer service.
Is this compatible with my Ryobi one batteries?
I wouldn't recommend washing your Ryobi batteries with this. The water will probably get inside and they will rust.
(It's mains powered)
I have this and it is fantastic. Amazingly quiet, and very high flow rate compared to cheap electric pressure washers.
Strangely though this is marketed as a car-cleaning pressure washer - and the cheap electric pressure washers are more than enough for that job.
I'm not sure why anyone would spend the extra cash on this for car-cleaning duties.
Ahhh… that would also be me :P
Cheap pressure washers deliver 4.5-6 litres per minute. When washing cars you don't need a crazy pressure but higher flow rate (ideally 8-10l/min) for the best results with snow foam etc.
Way overkill for my home use (but still cool) but would be an absolute no brainer for any side-gig detailers etc.
Also can't overstate how quiet this unit is compared to cheap electric or petrol units.
The majority of washers that I quickly checked in the $2-300 price range seem to deliver 7-8LPM. This does 9.2, so I wonder if the difference is actually significant at all?
I personally think snow foam is a big con and takes more time than its worth. And when rinsing, I actually use a regular tap instead of the pressure hose so that the water sheets off and there's less to dry.
@atlas: I spent months researching before I bought mine.
Anything sub $500 generally only lists their max flow, not the rated flow rate. Take something like the Gerni that you probably looked at that would've been in the 7-8 range max flow, but the actual rated flow rate is something like 5-5.5 lpm.
This BigBoi unit is 9.5 max with a tuned flow rate of 9.2lpm at 1450psi.
5.5 vs 9.2 is a MASSIVE difference for both detailing applications and general cleaning (although sometimes in general cleaning you'd also want higher pressure).
Also consider although this washer doesn't have the deck / power head accessories a Karcher may have - if you are buying it for your car you would probably spend $70-110 on a foam canon as well, which is included in the kit.
Other things are like the length of the pressure hose, 13m on this unit vs 6-8m on the cheaper ones meaning you can wash the whole car (or 2) without moving the actual pressure washer.
Finally, consumer grade pressure washers are notorious for only lasting a couple of years. We have no idea how long this new model will be since it is unlike anything I have seen on the market, but being marketed as a professional unit, I am hoping it will significantly outlast anything from Bunnings.
Not much of a demonstration video - soaping a clean car and washing that off.
How does it compare to the AVA washers?
AVA units have a proprietary connector. These are often hard to find. Great warranty though. The Bigboi uses industry standard quick connects.
I had the same question too - the stubby gun on the AVA and the 2 heads look brilliant too!
On a different note, is there any pressure washer on the market (electric) that can have variable PSI ?

Seems like an overly expensive pressure washer
