MAKITA RELEASES NEW 40V MAX XGT® PRESSURE WASHER

New washing solution gives users portability and longer run time

April 17, 2024, La Mirada, CA – Makita U.S.A., Inc., manufacturer of high-quality professional tools, power equipment, and accessories, has released the 40V max XGT® 1300 PSI 1.5 GPM Pressure Washer (GWH01). The GWH01 is ideal for cleaning patio furniture, gardening tools, automotive detailing, windows, decks, porches, fences, driveways, and much more. It’s powered by the same 40V max batteries that are compatible with over 125 XGT® equipment and tools.

“The 40V max XGT® Pressure Washer introduces a portable and powerful solution for a variety of high-pressure washing tasks,” said Tyler Brown, associate product manager for lifestyle and expansion, Makita U.S.A. Inc. “By offering an innovative, user-friendly option, Makita hopes to alter the approach to everyday cleaning by making homes and workspace maintenance more efficient.”

Power and Run Time

The Pressure Washer features three power levels for power and runtime management, with 1,300 PSI and 1.5 GPM on the high setting. There is a self-priming feature and siphoning hose that allows for remote cleaning from most fresh water sources or water tanks. The Pressure Washer features an auto-switching two-bay battery system that allows for longer run time. When one battery is depleted, the system automatically switches to the second battery to get more work done. With two 40V max XGT® 5.0Ah batteries on board, the pressure washer will deliver up to one hour of run time.

Convenience Features

Convenience features include a water-resistant battery enclosure for added protection. It also features a telescoping handle and 5.5” wheels for easy transportation. Convenient on-board accessory storage and tool-less attachment adjustment enable smooth transitions between tasks.
