Portable Pressure Washer – 70 Bar, 1200W, Dual-Voltage Home Cleaning Machine
The portable pressure washer in this range is a compact 1200 W carbon-brush machine rated at 70 bar with 5.5 L/min of flow, peaking at 100 bar and 6.5 L/min, and built for both 220-240 V and 120-127 V supplies at 50 or 60 Hz.
This is one of the few domestic units in the catalogue with a fully published specification, which makes it a useful reference point for the whole single-phase family. At 70 bar (about 1015 psi) and 5.5 L/min, hydraulic power is roughly 70 x 5.5 / 600 = 0.64 kW, consistent with a 1200 W input after motor and pump losses. The numbers describe a light-duty portable washer, not a commercial machine.
Technical Specifications
| Parameter | Value | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Rated pressure | 70 bar | Published in the product description |
| Maximum pressure | 100 bar | Peak value, not the continuous rating |
| Rated flow | 5.5 L/min | Published in the product description |
| Maximum flow | 6.5 L/min | Peak value |
| Motor power | 1200 W | Published |
| Motor type | Carbon brush motor | Published |
| Voltage / frequency | AC 220-240 V 50/60 Hz; AC 120-127 V 50/60 Hz | Dual-voltage versions, confirm the version supplied |
| Estimated hydraulic power | About 0.64 kW at rated duty | Calculated as bar x L/min / 600 |
All values above come from the published product description. Hose length, nozzle set, weight, dimensions, ingress rating and duty cycle are not stated, so they are not invented. The 100 bar / 6.5 L/min figures are maxima; use the 70 bar / 5.5 L/min rated pair when estimating real cleaning speed.
Where a 70 Bar Portable Washer Works Best
Car, Motorcycle and Bicycle Washing
5.5 L/min is enough for a controlled rinse of one vehicle at a time. Pre-soak the panel, wash with a mitt, then rinse with a fan nozzle. The 70 bar rated pressure is gentle on paint and trim when used at a normal working distance, which is an advantage on older vehicles and matt finishes.
Balconies, Camping Gear and Small Outdoor Areas
The compact format and dual-voltage support suit balconies, holiday homes, caravans, camping equipment and pet areas. 70 bar clears loose mud and dust from plastic, metal and sealed paving without the surface risk of a turbo nozzle.
Travel and Mixed-Voltage Sites
Because the description lists both 220-240 V and 120-127 V versions at 50/60 Hz, the same model family can be specified for different regions. Confirm exactly which voltage variant ships with the order; the frequency rating alone does not define the plug or the cable.
Reading 70 Bar / 5.5 L/min Against the Rest of the Range
Pressure lifts soil, flow carries it away. At 70 bar and 5.5 L/min this washer delivers roughly 0.64 kW of hydraulic power, so it is deliberately positioned below a 100 bar / 480 L/h (8 L/min) machine such as the KQ-1008S, which works out near 1.3 kW. That difference shows up as rinse time, not as a dramatic change in how clean the surface can eventually become.
Compared with models that publish only motor watts – the 850 W, 1800 W and 2200 W domestic washers – this unit gives a complete, checkable specification. 1800W / 75 bar car washer and 2200W domestic power washer and KQ-1008S with a 100 bar rated table can be compared directly once their pump data is obtained.
A carbon-brush motor is a light-duty, serviceable design. It keeps cost and weight down, but brush wear is a consumable item; for daily multi-hour operation a brushless induction machine with a published duty cycle is the more appropriate choice.
| Duty | Power / pressure class | Equipment |
|---|---|---|
| Occasional light rinsing | 850 W class, pressure not published | 850W domestic car washer |
| Portable washing with a full published spec | 70 bar / 5.5 L/min / 1200 W | This machine |
| Weekend car and patio washing | 1800 W / 75 bar max | 1800W car washer |
| Faster rinsing at a documented duty | 100 bar / 480 L/h | KQ-1008S washer |
Operating and Maintenance Notes
- Verify the voltage variant before first use; the two voltage ranges are not interchangeable on one unit.
- Use the 70 bar / 5.5 L/min rated pair for planning. Peak figures are short-term limits, not continuous duty.
- Keep the inlet filter clean and never throttle the suction line; carbon-brush motors also need dry, ventilated operation.
- Release trigger pressure before nozzle changes and store the pump, hose and gun drained in frost-free conditions.
- Inspect carbon brushes periodically as a wear item and replace them as a pair when worn.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this washer on a 110 V supply?
The description lists an AC 120-127 V 50/60 Hz version in addition to the 220-240 V version. Confirm which variant is supplied before connecting; do not assume one unit accepts both ranges.
Is 100 bar the working pressure?
No. 100 bar is the published maximum. The rated working pressure is 70 bar at 5.5 L/min, and that is the pair to use for real cleaning estimates.
How long can it run continuously?
No duty cycle is published. Treat it as an intermittent domestic washer; carbon-brush motors are not intended for all-day commercial duty.
Can it remove oil or algae without detergent?
Loose soil rinses off; bonded oil, algae and road film need a suitable detergent and contact time. No detergent approval is published, so confirm compatibility with the factory.
