00:00Hi everyone, Jeff from Outdoors in the Low Countries.

00:27In this video we are going to unbox and test this high pressure water cleaner from Güde,

00:32the GHD 225. With hardware stores here in the Low Countries, this Güde high pressure washer

00:39is also sold under a local brand, Waterland HD 22M5MD. The maximum pressure of this water

00:47cleaner is 225 bar or 3260 PSI and the working pressure is 150 bar. The per material is brass

00:57and the engine power is 3.2 kW. And the water delivery is 540 liters per hour.

01:04Now this water cleaning is being sold by a local hardware store here in the neighborhood,

01:08so let's have a look at it, what's inside the box and how well does it perform.

01:21So it comes with the manual, a pistol, the elongation of the pistol,

01:25the connector for the water coupling, some holder materials. At the back side

01:35you can see different types of nozzles and a reservoir for soap. Also some brackets to wind

01:40your mains cable around it and a nice way to store your water hose. So let's now mount the

01:45holder for the gun. The top side with a click connection. The bottom side uses a screw with

01:54a crosshead. The quick connect for the water supply.

02:04You need a 22 millimeter wrench in order to screw the main tube onto the gun.

02:12Now inside the gun you see there's a shaft to take out the particles in the water supply

02:15that will protect your nozzles from getting blocked, so that's a very good thing.

02:20So let's now connect the gun to the high pressure water hose.

02:24And the system is ready to go. So at the front side you'll find the on-off knob

02:29as well as the knob that controls the amount of soap that's being taken up by the soap dispenser.

02:36Two brackets where you can wind your mains cable around and the hose reel with a trigger hose.

02:40And there's also a safety pole on the gun, so in this case you cannot enable the switch.

02:45At the back side you see four different type of nozzles that you can connect to with your

02:49quick connect of the gun. So the color of the nozzle indicates what the angle is of the

02:54water beam that comes out. The red nozzle is the one with the zero degree beam angle,

03:00so it gives the highest pressure. And it can be used to clean high areas or areas hard to reach.

03:05And this nozzle should only be used on areas that can withstand this high pressure, like metal or

03:11concrete. And this nozzle should not be used on wood. The yellow nozzle has a 15 degrees spray

03:17pattern for intense cleaning of larger areas. It still has quite a high pressure and it should be

03:23used to clean brick, concrete and other hard surfaces with stubborn stains. The white nozzle

03:29has a 40 degrees spray pattern and it's less powerful and it can be used for a wide area

03:36of cleaning jobs. And the black nozzle has a 65 degrees spray pattern and can be used to apply

03:42special chemicals and cleaning solutions and detergents. And it is the weakest pressure

03:47stream of the nozzles. So it's a handy feature and can be easily used to take a nozzle, connect it

03:58and it is mounted. And when you're finished, take it out, put it back in place and you're

04:04put it back in place so you don't lose it. At the back side of the manual you can see there's

04:10a cleaning pin that can be used to clean out the nozzle in the case there's debris inside

04:15and make sure it's flowing again. So in the shop they also sold these turbo heads.

04:19I think this is for the rotary cleaning that you see in many high pressure water systems.

04:25So I also took this one. This one is not standard delivered,

04:29but I think it's good to have it anyway. So let's test it.

04:35So the length of both the mains cable as well as the water supply hose to its gun is about five

04:38meters. So the water supply is now being connected. System is still off. So let's

04:43now first bleed the system so that all the remaining air is outside.

05:04Okay, so let's now turn on the system.

05:16So let's test the different type of nozzles. First the rotary cleaner.

05:23The red beam.

05:23Yellow.

05:36White.

05:40And the black one.

05:44The nice thing is that you can turn the angle on the gun while cleaning.

05:54Here you see an old chair and we always use a high pressure water cleaner

05:58to clean it. So let's now try it with this device.

06:02So

06:22this is the turbo cleaner. I think it does a very good job.

06:26So let's now also try the other ones, see what the difference is.

06:33So this is the red one. It should not be used to wood. So let's try it then.

06:51So it has a very strong beam as you could see.

06:54And of course it's not good for the wood because you open up the fibers.

06:58But yeah, for metal and concrete it's a strong thing.

07:04The yellow one.

07:24The white one.

07:28So

07:37and also this one still has a very good cleaning performance.

07:51So let's compare it with yellow again.

08:21Let's see if we can take these spots with the yellow one.

08:31It did.

08:38So

08:45now let's also find out while the pressure washer is cleaning the bricks.

08:57So it is a very powerful beam and you have to be careful

09:00not to remove the sand in between. So let's also use yellow.

09:08So

09:15now yellow gives a very nice result indeed. The white one.

09:34Still quite good cleaning. A little bit less powerful but still good.

09:38And the turbo nozzle.

09:57That went quite well. So the test has shown that the pressure cleaner

10:00shows very good cleaning results. I like the quick connect systems with the different nozzles

10:05which you can easily change. And it gives good performance.

10:08So I also would like to compare it with two other high pressure washers that I have.

10:12The lever wash and the kercher. But that's something for another video.

10:16So thanks for watching and see you next time.

10:35Bye.
