Wilks-USA TX750i Petrol Power Pressure Washer 8.0HP 4 Stroke Engine 3950 psi / 272 Bar Pump Jet Wash for Patio Car Driveway & Garden with 5 Quick Connect Nozzles

Have always wanted a washer but was never sure of the quality / power of electric washers. Also, the thought of electricity and pools of water always worries me. I've got a petrol mower and strimmer so I'm comfortable with 'gas' tools. My patio hadn't been cleaned in best part of 20 yrs and was in quite a state to be honest. I asked for quotes on FB marketplace to have someone clean it so I could weigh up buying against hiring against getting someone in.Searched for weeks and the Wilks brand kept coming up (on amazon and e b a y) with mostly decent reviews. Most negatives seemed to be based around getting a petrol engine to start. Theres plenty of reviews advsing basic commonsense tips and being familiar with small petrol engines I wasn't put off. Thought that if I'm investing then I may as well pay a few quid and get a decent one. The Wilks TX750i is used professionally by a guy on youtube id seen so thought it will probably be reliable.Was just about to buy at full price (£379) but noticed the "Used-very good condition ' for £221.99' and thought 'blow it! Its a punt' and Id already considered buying a washer off ebay second hand for that anyway so hit the buy button. Its got a 12 month guarrantee so knew I'd have that to fall back on. Flapped a bit  wondering if Id made a big mistake getting a 'discounted' item but toughed it out. Paid the tenner for express delivery.It came a day earlier than I was expecting by courier (good job i was in or the neighbourswould have been peeved) . Guy took it to the garden for me. Nice chap. The box says "used-very good condition'. There was some very slight scratches in a couple of places but it looked brand new to me. Theres a tick sheet to say all parts are present. It was well packaged. While unboxing i really couldn't tell that it wasnt brand new. For just over half price I was expecting it to be battered. It wasn't. It reckon mine had just had a damaged original box or something.Read the reviews and online advice. (Theres u tube unboxing videos from some scottish guy. Boring but helpful. ( like this review :) Assembled it in about 20 mins (few screws for the fittings, wheels, hose reel etc). Id read it would need oil so bought some already. Oiled it (seems to take loads), put petrol in (about 3 quids worth) the tank and followed the instructions: connect water, slide choke etc. Turn fuel line to on, Turn electric circuit on. Typical petrol engine tool stuff. First pull and it didnt catch. Theres a feel you get for rip starting petrol tools like lawnmowers etc: take the tension then pull like a top. It burst to life. Seemed hesitant  but upping the rev slide fixed it.Its loud. Sound like farm equipment. Or like a petrol mower. If you've ever been to a hand car wash you'll be familiar. Its powerful. I need 2 hands on the wand to steady it. Its got a turbo nozzle. I did a 28m sq patio in about 30 mins or so. Looks like new. If I do it 2 more times then its paid for itself. So, its only been used twice now for about an hour and its going strong. I really like it, glad I bought it and well worth the money. Its got 30m of hose. Cant see ill ever need that but I've got it just in case.Negatives: 1) Petrol cap seal doesn't seal properly and a small seepage of petrol seems to happen on top of the tank. Gasket may need to be thicker and the rim it sits on is ridged and doesn't make a great seal. I'm going to contact them for advice.2) The oil level mark and oil hole position are a ruddy pain to fill up and check. If there's not enough then it won't start but its a bit trial and error.3) Hose sleeve scratches and chafes very easily when dragging around on concrete tiles. Mentally putting £20 aside for a new one in future.Overall: seems well made and sturdy, powerful, seems very thirsty. I've used more than about a fivers worth so far. Maybe need to use the choke better. I can imagine its gets through quite a bit if you were to use it all day for work etcRecommend: yes. If it lasts then Ill be very happy. Certainly recommend the 'used' options. I'm now asking friends if they need any jet washing done. Its loads of fun TBH.Will try a car washing with it but guessing it might need a bigger area than my semi drive way.

From image 1 to image 2 in minutes... well made, easy to operate. Has a quality build feel compared to many pressure washers of similar offering. It's relatively quiet too. I particularly like the reel hose holder- bit fiddly to lock on the hose inside the reel, but no problem really. You will have to position the reel on the handles carefully to ensure the winding handle doesn't foul the plastic cross member- easily done though once assembled.The long hose is definitely a bonus in that you can leave the machine at a safe distance from where you are working, plus you do not need to keep moving it as you progress.You will also find it starts very easily from hot as well as cold.I can't fault it really, but a minor point might be the hose I suggest you pull from the back so there is no chance of it coming into contact with the hot exhaust, but this means it can pull the machine off balance if you pull it too quickly. The extra hose and gutter lance will be useful too, and with it being powerful enough to draw from a barrel, it means it is very maneuverable for us on our caravan site- back of the trailer with water barrel- perfect!

The media could not be loaded. Had to amend my review after initially writing it was a great machine. Unfortunately the fuel tank has broken at one of its mounting points tearing the outer skin. I've contacted union mart for a replacement, but months later I'm still waiting for them to help me. I still think the unit is quite powerful, but build quality and backup leave a lot to be desired.as of the 2nd June 2023 the pump has now failed and had to be replaced by a independent service company... And to put the cherry on the cake the washer now won't start. Pipes are perished (both fuel and air) After my initial review praising it... I now have to say it's a bundle of crap. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!My long awaited wilks TX750I arrived today. I ordered it direct from amazon. A little slow on the delivery side, but that was more to do with the courier (TNT) than union mart. Box arrived in perfect order. All parts correct and accounted for. The assembly is pretty straight forward (instructions are abit ropey, but if you've half a brain you'll figure it out)several bolts connect both the wheels and the hose reel. I would say the included tools are pretty feeble. If you have a few decent spanners and a star screwdriver you'll be fine. Pay particular attention to Useing the plumbers tape for watertight joints. Measure out exactly the required amount of oil (550ml 10w40).please don't use the wife's good measuring jug like I did 😂. Fuel her up, and if like me you followed the instructions to the letter, it'll burst into life on the second or third pull.(total build time for me was about an hour taking my time) Once it's warmed up it happily ticks over. The power of the jet is quite significant you'll defo need both hands on the lance. I've tried the various nozels in a quick shake down of the unit, and I have to say I'm impressed both in the build, power and specs. All I need now is abit of decent weather to get stuck into the multitude of jobs around my house.. Can't wait 👍

Great powerwasher, oodles of power, easy to assemble, fantastic run time on a full tank. The only negative I have is the fuel cap, it could do with a better seal / rubber washer, it's not as tight as I would like it to be.

La macchina è arrivata integra nel suo robusto imballaggio qualche giorno prima della data prevista. Subito una brutta sorpresa quando il corriere mi ha notificato il pagamento delle spese doganali prima della consegna, non menzionate nell'ordine (la macchina proviene dall'UK, €128,63). Ho subito contattato il venditore attraverso la chat di Amazon facendo presente la cosa e lui mi ha subito risposto molto gentilmente che c'era stato sicuramente un disguido burocratico con le pratiche doganali e si è reso immediatamente disponibile a risolvere la situazione e a rimborsarmi la somma da me versata al corriere. Risolto il piccolo problema burocratico, devo dire che ho acquistato questa idropulitrice a scoppio perché vivendo in una casa singola con ampi spazi e giardino questa mi è sembrata la soluzione più idonea, molto più potente, professionale e versatile rispetto a quelle elettriche per le quali (soprattutto per quelle più prestazionali) occorre fare molta attenzione a che non siano in funzione altri elettrodomestici contemporaneamente altrimenti l'alimentazione può andare in blocco da sovraccarico. In questo breve periodo non ho potuto usare l'idropulitrice appieno in tutte le situazioni che mi sono prefigurato e magari per queste mi riserverò ulteriori e successive recensioni ma ho iniziato subito con l'auto (facile) per continuare con le finestre e persiane di casa fino alle pareti intonacate del vialetto ormai impregnate di schizzi di terra nella parte più vicina al terreno. Bé, nei tre casi devo dire di aver apprezzato la potenza del getto a pressione e per cui l'efficacia di rimozione dello sporco (anche senza detergente) soprattutto nel caso di vecchi depositi di anni su superfici porose. Poi, come dicevo, l'eccezionale versatilità nel poter eseguire lavori di pulizia veramente ovunque, a patto, ovviamente, della disponibilità di acqua, che peraltro può essere prelevata, grazie al kit apposito, anche da un bacino oltre che dalla rete. La fattura dei componenti della macchina appare molto buona e robusta e molto semplice la messa in funzione una volta appresa la semplice procedura. Devo ancora testarla nella pulizia del falciaerba e decespugliatore ed altri attrezzi da giardino oltre che per le condotte di scarico e drenaggio grazie anche alla dotazione del tubo ad alta pressione fino a 30 metri e dei relativi accessori come il nozzle per condotte.

Hochdruckreiniger läuft super und hat Power. Jederzeit würde ich dieses Gerät wieder kaufen.Ganz klare Empfehlung👍👍Nachtrag zur ersten Bewertung:Haben unser Ziegeldach von der Garage (60qm) gereinigt, alles an Schmutz, Flechten wurde entfernt. Das Dach sieht aus wie neu. Pflaster im Hof wurde danach auch noch gereinigt, auch hier sieht alles aus wie neu. Das Hochdruckreiniger ist echt der Hammer.Habe das Gerät mit zweimal nachtanken 5 Stunden im Dauerbetrieb am laufen gehabt.Möchte betonen und versichern das ich für meine Bewertung nichts an Geld oder ähnliches bekommen habe.

Excellent article. Nettoyer 3 terrasses utilisées plus de 4h d'affilée. Forte puissance (décapte le bois a pleine puissance) très satisfait.Seule chose est le lanceur qui est mâle placé avec l enrouleur mai une fois démonté 4 vis et tourner celui-ci de 1/4 tour problème réglé 👌Les 30m de flexible sont très agréable à ne pas déplacer le nettoyeur tous les 5mJe ne regrette pas cette article

Super produit mise a part des difficultés à le mettre en route à froid demarre puis cale.Une fois que l'on arrive à le mettre en route il est super .Bouchon du réservoir d'essence fuit le joint ne fait pas son job mise a part sa excellent mes pour le prix un peu déçu de ces 2 problèmes.

Il ne fonctionne pas du tout,problème de mise en marche !
