Makita has been going strong with its XGT line\u2013a cross-compatible 40V series that includes dozens of tools. Whether you’re a general contractor or an outdoor service provider, this line has something to offer. One tool in the fleet is the Makita XGT Pressure Washer (GWH01).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, if I’ve grabbed your attention so far, and you’re in the market for a new unit, then stick around. We’re going to dive into the performance and design features to help you decide if this is the model for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pressure Washers: Who Needs’em?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are generally two populations that come to mind when you think of a pressure washer. First, there are the DIYers who take pleasure in personally cleaning their homes, cars, etc. Then there are the Pros who make decent coin in the spring, blasting away last year’s muck, mold, and mildew from their clients’ properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But professional contractors who don’t focus on cleaning as a service still have uses for a pressure washer. We’re talking about finishing touches on building jobs, cleaning their trucks and heavy equipment, and the list goes on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the heart of the GWH01 is a brushless motor and two 40V (5.0Ah) XGT batteries. Together, they generate an output of 1,300 PSI and 1.5 GPM<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While those numbers aren’t bad for a cordless unit, the 1.5 GPM doesn’t quite make the commercial cut. That’s especially considering that 2 GPM is a rough minimum for Pro models. But, again, I would stress that this is still a viable option for Pros who aren’t necessarily in the business of pressure washing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It definitely has something to offer homeowners who are looking to clean patio furniture, fences, decks, vehicles, walkways, and siding. The applications are virtually limitless, and the power and overall features of this unit are respectable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
