Design and features
The Lemolify Cordless Pressure Washer comes in a convenient storage case to keep all the components together, that’s about the size of a typical carry case you’d see for a drill or similar smaller power tool. The whole unit including the case weighs under 6 pounds.
Crack the case to find all of the pieces and parts you need for operation. I should note that there are a few slots and spaces for specific items, but the rest is kind of loosely stuffed in there. Things tend to fall out on opening.
The setup is a very straightforward affair. Your pressure washer has a single control — that trigger handle — for operation.
Attachments get inserted into on the end of the barrel, aligning the tab with the attachment to insert, then giving it a twist to lock it into place.
There’s a soap dispenser attachment, shown below without the soap bottle. You’ll see more of that in the review below.
The main piece of business is your power washer wand, which has 6 different spray modes that are available with a twist of the sprayer head. The options are a 0, 15, 25 and 40 degree sprays, a foam option for the soap dispenser, and a shower option for low-power rinsing.
One of the interesting bits in the design of this unit is that has two different options for connecting to a water source. Two hose connectors are included in the kit.
You’ll connect the grey 17′ water hose included in the kit to the connector.
That then gets connected to the underside of the pressure washer.
You can install that second connector in place of the filter to the other end of the hose to connect to your outdoor faucet if you prefer to use it like a traditional power washer. If you want 100% mobility, however, you can install the filter pod on the other end of the hose instead…
… then you’ll drop that end into a bucket of water (or other water source). When you’re up and running, the water gets drawn from the bucket.
While this enables you to set up the power washer anywhere, a smaller bucket like mine will need to be refilled every few minutes. Whichever option you choose, the max output on the pressure washer is 652 PSI.
The power washer comes with a pair of rechargeable batteries, which is a good thing because we found that the battery is good for about 15-20 minutes with steady use. It takes a few hours to get a full charge on each battery.
If you want to use the soap dispenser, you’ll add that attachment, fill the bottle with your formula of choice, and then use the foam setting to spray the area like we did with a deck cleaning here.
The build on the Lemolify Cordless Pressure washer feels pretty good for a light-duty device. There aren’t many moving parts to deal with, and all the heavy plastic components feel like they’ll last a while.
Performance
Light duty performance is the sweet spot for the Lemolify Cordless Pressure Washer. We spent a bit of time using it around the house on stuff like my outdoor storage boxes, and it blasts the winter muck & grime like a champ. You can see some of the before & after in the shot below.
The lightweight nature of the unit (about four pounds) coupled with the cordless operation leads to a nimble device that’s easy to handle for big and small hands.
The thinner, lightweight hose included with the kit is easy to maneuver. You’re not fighting with an additional power cable as you work your way around corners and crevices.
The ability to run without attaching to a faucet has some interesting use cases. You’re a condo or apartment owner, for example, who wants to wash your car or patio furniture. Rinsing down a boat or patio deck. Cleaning something that’s out of range of your hoses on your property (like a sidewalk, fence, or mailbox). Just keep in mind that a smaller bucket will get drained pretty quickly.
The important thing to keep in mind here is that it is not super powerful. My son attempted to use it to take off some more severe winter staining on our back deck, and you can see that it barely made a dent in the gunk. I’d pull out the full-sized power washer for stuff like this. The relatively short battery life also limits the size of the jobs you can accomplish.
We saw similar performance on stone and paver patios. It will take the top layer of gunk off, but deep cleaning is not its thing on those kinds of surfaces.
Final thoughts
I really like the Lemolify Cordless Pressure Washer as an alternative to a bigger pressure washer for light duty work. It’s lightweight, nimble, and easy to store. Just remember that it’s not made for high-powered activity, and don’t expect long battery life for bigger jobs.
What I like about Lemolify Cordless Pressure Washer
- Very portable & easy to store
- Lightweight and easy to manage
- Operation without a hose gives you creative options for use
What needs to be improved?
- Battery life is short (15-20 minutes per battery), so it’s not ideal for larger jobs
