Draper 230V Pressure Washer, 1600W, 135bar

The Draper PW1600/90D is the most compact and lightest pressure washer in the entire Draper range – and the most accessible entry point into effective mains pressure washing. At just 8kg with a carry handle and large wheels, it lifts, carries, and stores more easily than almost any comparable machine on the market, yet delivers 90 bar (1,305psi) of working pressure and up to 7.1 litres per minute – more than enough to clean patios, cars, caravans, garden furniture, fencing, and a wide range of outdoor surfaces thoroughly and quickly.

A total stop device protects the pump and motor when the trigger is released, a 5-metre hose provides practical working reach, and the kit includes a turbo nozzle, spray lance, fixed brush, detergent bottle, cleaning pin, and inlet filter ready to use straight from the box. For homeowners who want a capable, easy-to-use pressure washer they can store in a kitchen cupboard and pull out for the car or the patio without any effort, the PW1600/90D is the ideal choice.

Key Features & Benefits

The Lightest in the Draper Range – Just 8kg

At 8kg, the PW1600/90D is 3kg lighter than the already-compact PW2200/110D and the lightest pressure washer Draper makes. Pick it up with one hand, carry it anywhere in the garden, bring it out of storage in seconds, and put it away just as easily. For homeowners with limited storage space, those who find heavier machines awkward, or anyone who wants a pressure washer that genuinely doesn't feel like a burden to use, the weight of the PW1600/90D is transformative.

90 Bar Working Pressure – Effective for All Domestic Tasks

At 90 bar (1,305psi) working pressure and 135 bar (1,958psi) maximum, the PW1600/90D cleans effectively across the full range of domestic applications. Patios, block paving, concrete paths, garden walls, wooden decking, garden furniture, wheelie bins, cars, caravans, and outdoor equipment all respond well to 90 bar pressure – significantly more powerful than a garden hose and capable of removing moss, algae, dirt, and surface staining efficiently.

Total Stop Device – Protects Motor and Pump

When the trigger is released, the total stop device cuts the pump and motor automatically, stopping water flow and eliminating the repeated pressure spikes that wear out machines prematurely. It saves water during natural pauses in cleaning and extends the working life of the pump and motor meaningfully compared to machines without this feature. A key specification to look for in any pressure washer, even at the entry level.

Turbo Nozzle for Maximum Surface Impact

The included turbo (rotary) nozzle spins a concentrated jet in a rapid circle, delivering concentrated impact across a wider area than a straight jet. It's the most effective tool in the kit for shifting stubborn moss, algae, and compacted grime from paving and hard surfaces, and significantly speeds up cleaning of large areas like driveways and patios at this pressure level.

Complete Kit Ready to Use

Supplied with a spray lance, fixed brush for scrubbing with water flow, detergent bottle for applying cleaning products at low pressure, turbo nozzle, cleaning pin, and inlet filter – a full, practical kit covering every common domestic pressure washing task without additional purchases.

Carry Handle and Large Wheels

A carry handle and large wheels make positioning and moving the PW1600/90D across garden surfaces effortless, even at 8kg. Roll it across the patio, lift it over a step, carry it to the front drive – all without strain.

5m Hose and 5m Cable

A 5-metre hose and 5-metre cable together provide a 10-metre working radius from a tap and power socket, covering most domestic garden layouts. Use an outdoor-rated extension lead for greater reach where needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the PW1600/90D compare to the Draper PW2200/110D? The PW2200/110D (2,200W, 110 bar working, 8.2L/min max, 11kg, integrated hose reel) offers more pressure, higher flow, and a tidy integrated hose reel at a modest weight premium. The PW1600/90D (1,600W, 90 bar working, 7.1L/min max, 8kg) is lighter, more affordable, and simpler in operation – the right choice for occasional domestic use and for buyers who prioritise minimum weight and easy storage above maximum pressure. Both have total stop and a turbo nozzle. For frequent use or larger areas, step up to the PW2200/110D; for light domestic use, the PW1600/90D is entirely capable.

Is 90 bar enough to clean a patio or driveway? Yes for most domestic surfaces. 90 bar effectively removes moss, algae, light staining, and general grime from block paving, concrete, stone, and tiled surfaces, particularly with the turbo nozzle. Heavily stained or deeply ingrained surfaces may benefit from pre-treatment with a patio cleaner applied via the detergent bottle before pressure rinsing. For very heavily soiled commercial surfaces, the higher-pressure models in the range offer more power.

Can I wash my car with it? Yes – 90 bar is well suited to vehicle washing, providing enough pressure to rinse away road grime, mud, and light contamination without the risk of paint damage from excessive pressure. Use the spray lance with a wide fan angle on painted panels and maintain a distance of 30–50cm. Use the detergent bottle for shampooing before rinsing. Avoid directing the turbo nozzle at close range onto painted surfaces.

Why doesn't the PW1600/90D have an integrated hose reel? The integrated hose reel found on the PW2200/110D and PW2500I/130D adds weight and bulk. On an 8kg machine, the trade-off is in favour of minimum weight and compact dimensions. The 5m hose is adequate for most domestic tasks; a separate hose connector or hose guide keeps it manageable in use.

Does it need a mains water supply and power socket? Yes – a standard garden tap for water and a 230V outdoor-rated socket for power. Both are required. Connect via an RCD-protected outdoor socket for safety; use a heavy-duty extension lead if additional reach is needed.
