When I was choosing a mini-wash for my car, I was surprised to learn that Makita also makes similar equipment. Since I professionally worked with their power tools, I could not help but pay attention to this. And when I got acquainted with the technical characteristics of these sinks, I completely realized that the selection process had come to an end. A good set of three nozzles, including a turbo nozzle, a jet nozzle and a swivel nozzle. Combined with the strong water pressure generated by the powerful 2kW pump, these nozzles are suitable for all occasions. The working pressure of this minisink is 120 bar and this is enough to wash anything from any gap. I once got a little carried away cleaning the paving slabs on the path (dirt from the garden was applied) and washed the sand out of the joints between the tiles with a strong jet of water. Then I had to repair it)) It washes the car perfectly, but it is also important not to overdo it and not to give a high-pressure jet to the paint and rubber from close distances. The body of the sink is made of high-quality durable plastic and its design is well thought out. It has a reel for collecting a long eight-meter high-pressure hose and a smart organizer for nozzles. The hose, by the way, is enough to completely bypass the car from any side, which is very convenient. Hefty price tag, but definitely worth it. Another annoying connector for connecting water, sticking out to the side. It is made of plastic and if it is well attached to the door jamb, then it is not a fact that it will survive. |
The Japanese company Makita has been specializing in the production of household and professional power tools for more than a dozen years, thanks to which it has shown large volumes of sales of its products around the world. The HW132 washing unit has high characteristics, as for a household appliance, and a considerable cost of $ 330, which put it in the category of top models of high-pressure mini-washers. Let's see if the Makita HW132 deserves the title of niche leader.
Ergonomics
The sink attracts attention with its ergonomic shape, small dimensions and well-thought-out arrangement of components. On the body in the assortment there are compartments for nozzles, brushes, a gun, a hose reel with a convenient handle for rotation. Wheels and a fixed handle make it convenient to transport the unit from place to place, but this is not always necessary, since 8 metres of hose is enough to bypass the car from all sides, clean up a vast area of the yard or terrace. At the same time, you don’t have to worry that the sink will fall — the weight of 15.5 kg gives the structure additional stability.
There are also disadvantages in ergonomics. If there is a reel for the high pressure hose, there is absolutely nowhere to put 5 metres of power cord. Another upsetting moment is the protruding connector for connecting water. A fine water filter is screwed onto it, which further increases the protrusion. The connector is plastic, it is easy to break it off by catching on a corner or a door jamb. On the other hand, an additional external filter extends the life of the internal one, so its presence is clearly not superfluous, but you should be doubly careful during operation so as not to break the connector.
How to use?
The sink is equipped with a durable aluminium alloy pump and is capable of supplying 420 liters of water per hour, which allows you to wash various objects with high quality, while saving engine life, thanks to the TTS (Total Stab System) system. It turns off the motor when the gun trigger is released.
Dirt can be cleaned from anywhere, thanks to a 140 bar pressure jet and convenient nozzles — fan and mud. An additional washing brush is useful for a more thorough washing of the car, siding. The effect will be more noticeable if you use warm water up to 50 °C and detergent. But there is no function of taking water from the tank, so the model is not suitable for summer residents who do not have a centralized water supply on the site.
Summarizing, we note the high performance, reliability of the HW132 washer and its cost-effectiveness. On the other hand, there are shortcomings, the presence of which, at a rather high price of the unit, makes its purchase not entirely expedient. The same Bosch Universal Aquatak 135, for example, costs less and weighs less, and there is a foam gun in the kit.
