CHISU High Pressure Washer SU-186 - 1280W Electric Car Washer with 66 Bar Pressure

Actually, we've been moving these units for about three years now, and most people don't realize how much that 1280W motor matters until they're trying to blast dried mud off wheel wells or patio slabs—it's not the biggest machine on the market, but it's got enough grunt for routine home and car work without tripping a typical 10-amp breaker.

The 66 bar rated pressure is what it is, which is roughly 957 psi, and while that won't strip paint like a 2000 psi unit, what it does is handle bird droppings, road film, and light moss pretty effectively without gouging soft surfaces like car trim or wooden fences. Flow rate sits at 6.8 liters per minute, so it's not wasting water like some budget units that push 10L/min but have no real pressure behind it, and the fan-shaped nozzle gives you good balance between coverage and scrubbing force. One thing that catches people off guard is the weight—9kg sounds light, but once you add the hose and the wand, it's about what you'd expect form a decent mid-range unit, so wheel it, don't carry it.

It has CE, CB, ETL, RoHS, and UR certifications, which basically means you're not going to get flagged by customs in most western markets, and the RoHS compliance tells you there's no nasty lead or cadmium in the wiring or seals. We usually have stock on these, but check lead time on the carton units—they ship 2 pieces per master carton, and if you need a full pallet, give or take 20 days or so from order.

Not suited for commerical detailing shops running eight hours a day, that's the honest truth—the motor's designed for intermittent use, maybe 30-40 minutes of continuous running before you should let it cool. Also, it's cold water only, so if you're looking to dissolve years of greasy buildup on an engine block without some degreaser, you'll want a hot water unit instead.

One detail most buyers don't think to ask but should is the inlet filter—there's a little mesh screen inside the water intake fitting that needs cleaning every few uses, especially if your tap water has sediment, because once that clogs, teh pump cavitates and you'll lose presure fast. We've seen guys send them back thinking the motor died when it's just a chunk of sand blocking the filter, so keep that in mind.

Anyway, the HS code is 8424899990 if you're doing the paperwork yourself, and the carton dimensoins are 41 by 40.5 by 39 cm, which stacks nicely on a euro pallet if you're ordering multiple cartons.
