Einhell TC-HP 90 Electric Pressure Washer 90 Bar 1200W

The Einhell TC-HP 90 is a compact electric pressure washer for light cleaning at home. It runs on a 1200W motor at 240V. Maximum pressure is 90 bar. That suits patios, garden furniture, cars and exterior walls that are only lightly dirty.

Flow rate peaks at 372 litres per hour. The 90 bar pressure is gentle enough for everyday grime. Will it shift old, baked-on dirt? Unlikely. For a quick rinse and a tidy up it works fast.

Handling is a strong point. You get a central carry handle and a low weight. The washer stows away in a small space. Nozzles and the gun have storage points on the body. The Quick-Couple system makes swapping accessories simple. The water inlet has an integral filter to catch debris.

Buy it if you want a small, simple machine for the shed. The box holds the gun, a 3m hose, a lance and point and wide nozzles. It takes water up to 40°C with a maximum inlet pressure of 7 bar.

Bar is the pressure at the nozzle. Litres per hour is how much water moves through. At 90 bar and 372 l/h this washer sits at the gentle end. That is enough to lift mud, dust and light grime from hard surfaces. It will not strip paint or damage soft wood the way a stronger machine can. The Quick-Couple system is a push connection, so nozzles and the gun swap without tools.

Never point the lance at people or animals. Keep the water below 40°C and the inlet pressure under 7 bar. Start on a test patch and keep the nozzle a little way from the surface. Unplug the machine before changing nozzles. Keep the mains lead dry and away from the spray. Release trapped pressure by squeezing the gun after switching off.
