Draper Storm Force® 230V Pressure Washer, 1400W, 105bar

The Draper Storm Force® PW1400/70SF is the most compact, lightest, and simplest pressure washer in the entire Draper lineup. At just 6.5kg – lighter than many handheld power tools – it's the pressure washer you pick up with one hand and take anywhere: from the front drive to the back garden, the garage to the allotment, the camping pitch to the marina. Plug into a standard mains socket, connect to a garden tap, and it's ready to clean.

Delivering 70 bar (1,015psi) of working pressure and up to 6.8 litres per minute from a 1,400W motor, it handles the everyday cleaning tasks that clutter up a to-do list – washing the car, rinsing down bikes after a muddy ride, cleaning garden furniture at the start of the season, blasting out wheelie bins, and clearing light grime from paths and patios. A total stop device protects the pump and motor, and the kit includes a turbo nozzle for maximum surface impact, a spray lance, detergent bottle, cleaning pin, and inlet filter. Uncomplicated, lightweight, capable – and ready to go.

Key Features & Benefits

Lightest Pressure Washer in the Draper Range – Just 6.5kg

At 6.5kg, the PW1400/70SF is lighter than most cordless drill-driver combinations and the easiest machine to handle in the entire Draper pressure washer lineup. Carry it from the shed without breaking stride, lift it into the boot of a small car, and store it on a shelf in a flat or compact garage without it taking up meaningful space. For users who've been put off by the bulk and weight of traditional pressure washers, the PW1400/70SF removes the barrier entirely.

Total Stop Device – Always-On Motor Protection

When the trigger is released, the total stop device cuts the pump and motor immediately, eliminating water waste and the repeated pressure build-up that wears out machines running against a closed valve. The machine restarts the instant the trigger is squeezed. A practical, life-extending feature that raises the PW1400/70SF above most entry-level pressure washers of comparable size.

70 Bar Working Pressure – Right for Light Cleaning Tasks

At 70 bar (1,015psi) working pressure and 105 bar (1,523psi) maximum, the PW1400/70SF is optimised for light-to-medium domestic cleaning: cars, motorcycles, bikes, garden furniture, BBQs, wheelie bins, and light path and patio maintenance. The 6.8L/min maximum flow rate rinses cleanly and quickly across smaller surfaces and items.

Turbo Nozzle for Extra Impact

The included turbo (rotary) nozzle spins a concentrated jet rapidly to combine concentrated impact with broader coverage – the most effective nozzle in the kit for removing stubborn deposits on hard surfaces and getting more cleaning power from 70 bar than a straight jet would deliver alone. Switch to the spray lance for gentler rinsing on vehicle paintwork.

Detergent Bottle – Chemical Assistance for Better Results

The detergent bottle applies vehicle shampoo, bike cleaner, or patio treatment at low pressure before rinsing at full pressure. Pre-treating soiled surfaces with a cleaning product before pressure washing consistently delivers better results than water alone, particularly on vehicles and garden furniture.

Compact and Straightforward – No Complications

The PW1400/70SF is a machine without unnecessary complexity. No integrated hose reel, no multiple nozzle systems to learn, no heavy housing to lug around. Carry it, connect it, use it, store it. The 3-metre hose combined with the 5-metre cable gives a practical working radius for most small-to-medium domestic cleaning tasks.

Who Is the Draper Storm Force® PW1400/70SF For?

Car & Motorcycle Owners – A quick, light, effective wash between professional valeting sessions. At 6.5kg, carry it from the garage, connect to the outside tap, rinse the car down in minutes, and store it away again. 70 bar is effective for vehicle rinsing without the surface risk of higher-pressure machines on sensitive paintwork.

Cyclists & Mountain Bikers – Blast mud from a bike after a trail ride without filling the bath or clogging the shower. The turbo nozzle clears packed mud from frames, forks, and drivetrains quickly, and 6.5kg means carrying the machine to wherever the bike is isn't an issue.

Garden Furniture & Seasonal Cleaning – Revive garden chairs, tables, parasol bases, and planters at the start of the season. Quickly clean the BBQ, the outdoor play equipment, and the greenhouse staging without hauling out a heavy machine for a 15-minute job.

Students & First-Time Buyers – An affordable, capable starting point for someone who's never owned a pressure washer. Does the common tasks well, stores easily, and represents good value for light use.

Allotment Holders & Campers – Light enough to take to the allotment in a bag or pack in a car for camping and touring, powered by a standard mains hook-up or outdoor socket wherever available.

Bin & General Cleaning – A 70 bar pressure washer makes short work of wheelie bins, recycling boxes, outdoor steps, and garden paths between deeper cleans. Quick out, quick in.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the PW1400/70SF compare to the Draper PW1600/90D? The PW1600/90D (1,600W, 90 bar working, 7.1L/min max, 8kg, 5m hose) offers more pressure, more flow, and a longer hose for a modest weight premium. The PW1400/70SF (1,400W, 70 bar working, 6.8L/min max, 6.5kg, 3m hose) is lighter, smaller, and simpler – the right choice for light vehicle and garden cleaning tasks where minimum weight and compact storage are the priority. If you'll be cleaning large areas, stubborn patio staining, or regularly tackling heavier dirt, step up to the PW1600/90D; for cars, bikes, furniture, and bins, the PW1400/70SF does the job with less weight and fuss.

Is 70 bar enough to clean a patio? For light to moderate patio maintenance – removing surface algae, rinsing away dust and grime, freshening up paving that's not heavily stained – yes. For heavily soiled patios with thick moss, deep staining, or years of neglect, the PW1600/90D (90 bar) or PW2200/110D (110 bar) with a patio cleaner attachment will deliver more thorough results more efficiently. The PW1400/70SF is better suited to maintaining a clean patio than restoring a heavily neglected one.

Is it safe to use on car paintwork? 70 bar is appropriate for vehicle rinsing. Always use the spray lance rather than the turbo nozzle on painted panels, maintain a distance of at least 30–50cm from the surface, and use the detergent bottle for shampooing before rinsing. Avoid directing any nozzle at very close range to rubber seals, plastic trim, or painted surfaces. For ceramic coated or show vehicle finishes, use a wide spray angle and greater distance.

What does the Storm Force® branding mean? Storm Force® is a Draper product range designation for competitively priced tools and equipment designed for reliable domestic and light trade performance. Storm Force® products share Draper's quality control and warranty coverage while offering an accessible entry point into the range.

Does it need a tap and power socket? Yes – a standard garden tap for water supply and a 230V mains socket for power. Connect to an outdoor-rated RCD-protected circuit. The 5m cable provides practical reach from a standard outdoor socket; use a heavy-duty extension lead for greater distance.
