Makita 1740PSI High Pressure Water Cleaner (HW1200)

The Makita 1740PSI High Pressure Water Cleaner (HW1200) is an exceptionally lightweight and portable cleaning solution designed for versatile outdoor maintenance. Powered by an efficient 1,800W (1.8kW) Series Motor, it delivers a capable maximum pressure of 1740PSI (120 bar) and a maximum water flow rate of 420 Litres per hour. This makes it highly effective for rinsing down muddy vehicles, blasting dirt off garden tools, and restoring the look of outdoor patios without the bulk of a heavy commercial machine.

Engineered for practicality, the HW1200 is built with a self-priming function, meaning it can draw water directly from a static source—such as a bucket or water tank—providing ultimate flexibility when a pressurized mains tap is out of reach. To ensure delicate surfaces aren't damaged, it features an adjustable pressure function, allowing you to easily dial back the intensity. Despite its capable output, the use of a Series motor keeps the overall weight down to just 11.0kg, and a low-noise design ensures it won't cause excessive disturbance in residential neighborhoods.

Ideal For:

  • Home & Garden Maintenance: Perfect for washing down patios, decks, garden furniture, and pathways around the house.
  • Vehicle Washing: The adjustable pressure function allows for safe, effective cleaning of cars, motorcycles, and bicycles without stripping paint.
  • Remote Cleaning Jobs: The self-priming function allows the unit to draw water from rain barrels or buckets, making it ideal for use far away from standard water taps.

Key Features:

  • Adjustable Pressure: Easily control the output force to suit delicate washing tasks or aggressive dirt removal.
  • Self-Priming Function: Highly versatile water supply options; it can connect to a tap or draw water directly from a static bucket.
  • Lightweight Series Motor: The 1,800W Makita W-series motor drastically reduces the overall weight (11.0kg) for effortless transportation.
  • Low Noise Operation: Designed to minimize operating volume, making it suitable for use in quiet residential areas.
  • Hot Water Capable: Safely accepts an inlet water temperature of up to 40°C to assist in breaking down light grease and grime.

What is the maximum pressure output of the HW1200?

This model provides a maximum pressure of 1740 PSI (120 bar) and a continuous working pressure of 1450 PSI (100 bar).

What is the self-priming function?

The self-priming function allows the pressure washer to draw water directly from an unpressurized source, like a bucket or a water tank, rather than needing to be connected to a mains tap.

Can I adjust the pressure for washing my car?

Yes. The HW1200 features an adjustable pressure function, allowing you to lower the output force so you can safely wash delicate vehicle paintwork without causing damage.

How heavy is this pressure washer?

It is very lightweight and portable. Because it uses a Makita W-Series motor rather than a heavy induction motor, the entire unit weighs just 11.0kg.

How long is the included hose?

The HW1200 comes equipped with a long 10-metre high-pressure hose, providing plenty of reach around vehicles and patios.

Is this a cordless pressure washer?

No, it is a 240V corded electric machine and includes a 5.0-metre power supply cord.

Can I run hot water through the machine?

You can use warm water, but it must not exceed a maximum inlet temperature of 40°C.

What is the difference between this and the HW1300?

The HW1300 is slightly more powerful (1885 PSI), features a 2-speed High/Low selection switch, and includes a built-in hose reel. The HW1200 is simpler, slightly lighter, and features variable adjustable pressure without the hose reel.

Is the machine loud?

No, it features a Low Noise design specifically engineered to minimize disturbance, making it ideal for residential use.

What warranty comes with this Makita pressure washer?

The Makita HW1200 is backed by a standard 2-Year warranty.
