00:00Hi everyone, Sjef from Outdoors in the Low Countries and in this video we are going to

00:03compare three different pressure washers, the Carragher 5.5 Jubilee, the Lever Wash

00:08LS21, an old system, but don't underestimate it, and the only blue one, the Güde GHD225,

00:15also known under a local brand in the Low Countries as Waterland.

00:18Let's also have a look at the specifications of these three systems.

00:23The Carragher 5.5 Jubilee has an engine power of 1.9 kW, a water operating pressure of 120

00:29bars, with a water flow of 6.7 liters a minute.

00:34The Lever Wash LS21 has an engine power of 2.1 kW, water operating pressure of 110 bars,

00:41with 6.9 liters a minute.

00:43And the strongest of the three is the Güde GHD225, also sold in the Low Countries under

00:48Waterland HD225MD, with an engine power of 3.2 kW, water operating pressure of 150 bars,

00:56with a water flow of 7.5 liters a minute.

00:59And we will compare these pressure washers on two different jobs, the first one is cleaning

01:03of a teak chair, and the second one is cleaning of clinkers.

01:06So let's do the test.

01:08So let's have a look at cleaning this teak chair, a typical job that we need to do for

01:13cleaning all the dirt.

01:14I am first going to use the rotating turbo nozzle, and then later on I will use the angle

01:19nozzle.

01:20So let's see which performs best at this.

01:22I will start with the Kärcher, then the Lever Wash, and the Güde at last.

01:48I did a first test with the rotating turbo nozzle.

01:53And to be honest, I don't think it did a very good job on it.

02:01So let's now take the other nozzle as well.

02:23So the Kärcher does the job, but I am not very impressed with the cleaning performance

02:29of this machine.

02:30It somehow seems like it is lacking some water pressure.

02:35So let's now move on to the next one, the Lever Wash LS21.

02:39Also here I will first start with the turbo nozzle.

02:41That's not good.

03:12So, this happens when you put a water hose like this, freeze in the winter, and sometimes

03:21it can get damaged, and the rupture with high pressure is the result.

03:26OK, so how can you fix it with some tape and a hose clamp to reinforce it?

03:33And it's now tight again, so let's continue the test.

03:42So it's clearly that the cleaning performance of the Lever Wash Turbo is much better than

03:58the Kärcher one.

03:59So let's now go to the other nozzle.

04:12So the Lever Wash clearly outperforms the Kärcher, both on the rotor nozzle as well

04:18as the normal nozzle.

04:19So let's now also test the last one, the QD QHD 225 or the Waterland HD 225, first with

04:27the turbo rotor and then with the normal nozzle.

04:42So for the turbo rotor I think that the Lever Wash and the QHD more or less have the same

04:51type of performance.

04:52Maybe the QHD is a little bit stronger because you can feel it a little bit better pushing

04:56back, but on the other hand, looking at the cleaning, I don't think there's a large difference

05:00there.

05:01Now I'm going to switch to the yellow nozzle and compare that one.

05:04With the yellow nozzle, the spray angle is 15 degrees.

05:11Now let's also find out while the pressure washer is cleaning the bricks.

05:42Now yellow gives a very nice result indeed.

05:47And the turbo nozzle.

06:02That went quite well.

06:05So let's now try the Kärcher as well.

06:12Way less powerful beam.

06:20Let's try the turbo rotor.

06:42The rotor beam cleaning goes relatively well, although you really feel you have much less

06:54output power compared to the QHD.

06:58So Lever Wash is next.

07:12Less powerful compared to the QHD, but surely much more powerful than the Kärcher.

07:18Now let's also switch towards the turbo.

07:21So after doing the test, I think the lowest performance is given by the Kärcher 5.5 UBLAE.

07:42To be honest, you really feel that the pressure of the water is much lower than of the other

07:47two systems, and in that sense also the cleaning performance is a little bit poorer than with

07:53the other two.

07:55And I must say that given the lower water pressure of this system, the cleaning performance

07:58of the rotor nozzle is actually not even that bad.

08:01So I think it's a good design of the rotor nozzle, but all in all, this system gives

08:06lower performance than the other two.

08:08And the second best performance is given by this grandpa, the LS2-1 from Lever Wash.

08:13An old system, but still a very good system.

08:16And especially the rotor nozzle is giving a very, very good performance.

08:19And since you really feel that the water pressure of this system is lower than with the Güde,

08:25the rotor nozzle performance is not even that different.

08:28So I think the design of the rotor nozzle is very good of the Lever Wash.

08:32Now the overall best performance, according to my opinion, is given by the blue system,

08:36the Güde GHD 225.

08:40It clearly has the highest water pressure, you can really feel it holding the gun, and

08:43also the cleaning performance is really good.

08:45The angled nozzles, with the different colors and the different angles, give a very, very

08:50good performance.

08:51I think that the rotor nozzle in that sense could be even improved, because the difference

08:55with the other systems isn't even that large, although it has a higher water pressure.

08:59So I think that the design of the turbo nozzle can be even better, but still it has also

09:04there a very good performance.

09:06And the whole concept of clickable nozzles I also really like on this system.

09:10So, for me, this is the winner of this test.

09:13So I hope you enjoyed the video about the comparison of these pressure washers.

09:17Thanks for watching and see you next time.
