Scorching Clean With No Cords: The Top-Tier Battery-Powered High-Pressure Cleaners Tested
Cordless High-Pressure Cleaner with Rechargeable Battery Under Evaluation
Get ready to scrub away dirt, grime, and filth from your terrace, pathways, and garden objects without the hassle of power outlets! A recent test conducted by the magazine "Man's World" (July 2025 issue) in collaboration with TÜV Rheinland reveals that battery-operated high-pressure cleaners can deliver comparable performance to their corded counterparts.
Here's a roundup of the top picks from the test. Remember, selecting the perfect device depends on the tasks you'd like to accomplish and their specific areas of application.
Top Performers
- Ego Power+ (56V HPW2000E) - Scored 1.6, average price: 1,460 Euro
- Makita (40V, HW001GZ) - Scored 1.8, average price: 890 Euro
- Stihl (REA 100 PLUS) - Scored 1.9, average price: 540 Euro
Budget-Friendly Options
- Stanley Fatmax (V20, SFMCPW1500) - Scored 2.2, average price: 600 Euro (with battery and charger included)
- Bosch (Universal Aquatac 36V-100) - Scored 2.4, average price: 440 Euro
The seven tested devices varied significantly in price - the cheapest model cost around 130 Euro, while the priciest one retailed for approximately 1,580 Euro. All prices stated correspond to the high-pressure cleaner, including battery and charger.
Aim For the Right Target: Consider Your Needs
Cleaning applications ranging from algae-ridden limestone slabs, algae-laden concrete composite paving stones, to removing lichen from paving stones varied greatly in results. The love for the almighty water pressure might be a strong inclination, but it's essential to consider the model's adjustment options and intended use.
Some models in the review caused wood to splinter due to the use of a point jet. However, others offered adjustability from point to flat jet, making them the best choice for wood cleaning.
If transporting the device frequently is a concern, choose a lightweight and compact model - the weight range among the tested devices ranged from 1.6 kg to 22.5 kg.
