Nilfisk Premium 180 High Pressure Washer (2900 W)

If you are tired of weak, plastic pressure washers that take hours to clean a small driveway and break down after two seasons, the Nilfisk Premium 180 is the upgrade you’ve been looking for. This machine is an absolute beast. It feels and performs like a commercial-grade tool wrapped in a consumer body. Here is my honest experience after putting it to work: 👍 THE PROS: Incredible Cleaning Power: With 180 bar pressure and a massive 610L/h water flow, it strips away years of black lichen, deep moss, and algae from stone and masonry effortlessly. It outclasses mid-range competitors by a mile. Built Like a Tank: Weighing nearly 27kg, this unit is solid. It features a long-lasting brushless induction motor and an aluminum pump head, meaning it won't crack or overheat under heavy use. It stays planted and won't tip over when you pull the hose. Premium Steel-Armoured Hose: The 10-meter SuperFlex hose is brilliant. Unlike cheap plastic hoses that twist and kink constantly, this steel-braided hose stays flexible and rolls perfectly onto the integrated storage reel. Adjustable Pressure Control: There is a handy dial right on the front of the machine to turn down the pressure. This is essential because at 100% power, it can easily blast the mortar right out of your patio joints or chip car paint! 👎 THE CONS: It’s Heavy: Because of the heavy metal internal components, it is quite heavy to lift into a car boot or carry up steps. Fortunately, the rugged wheels and telescopic handle make it easy to roll around on flat ground. Power Hungry: Drawing 2900W, it requires a lot of electricity. Do not use this with thin or coiled extension leads, as it will trip your home's circuit breakers. Plug it directly into a main wall socket for best results. Accessory Fitment: Note that the Premium series uses a heavy-duty bayonet connection. It is not natively compatible with standard Nilfisk "Click & Clean" accessories from their smaller entry-level models. 💡 Final Verdict: The Nilfisk Premium 180 is definitely overkill if you only want to rinse off a small car once a month. But if you have large driveways, massive patios, brick walls, or large vehicles (like vans or boats) to clean regularly, this machine will save you hours of work. It is expensive, but it is built to last for years. Highly recommended!

Terrific power wash. This is my second Nilfisk unit after my original stopped working due to a pump failure after many years of good service. The 180 Bar pressure washer was an upgrade and the extra power is very noticeable and worth the additional cost. Everything is heavy duty and just that much better, especially the reinforced rubber hose rather than the plastic one which is a massive improvement along with an easier to use hose reel. Had to use it today to clear a foul drain and my old attachment worked fine with the new unit which was a bonus. Not used all the features yet, but five stars from me.

Update after very little use the lance and the spray nozzle have become faulty you have great difficulty getting the spray nozzle out of the lance I have applied silicone grease to the spray nozzle no difference. I contacted Nilfisk customer service because the machine is still under warranty a complete waste of time I am now left with a machine that is unusable unless I spend more money on a new lance and spray nozzles . Nilfisk are not the company they used to be Do Not buy pressure washer, well made everything has a feeling of quality,it comes virtually fully assembled its compact I know it’s expensive but I tried the k brand the k brand is a toy compared to this In my opinion if you want a functional pressure washer that will last years buy this my old Nilfisk lasted 10 years. It is heavy but moves with ease Recommend

A well made machine am still exploring its capabilities-could be 5 star

Great machine

I have used it several times in the last few weeks and I have found it easy to use and very powerful, exactly what I expected. It seems well made and not too noisy and completely priced.

The difference between this and other cheaper power washers I've had is night and day. It actually feels sturdy and built to last. No more Power Washing Simulator for me, the real thing is just too satisfying. We've used it for all kinds of jobs and it's brilliant.

Well, it worked well in the beginning and then the power started to drop off and the power washer made a strange noise. As I was still in the warranty period I contacted Nilfisk and had a fairly unpleasant experience and Amazon had to step in. Not what you expect from a quality brand and at this high price point. So would I recommend it? No.
