Nilfisk E145.4 pressure washer review

- Опубликовано: 16 окт 2024
- The Nilfisk E145.4 pressure washer is a superb piece of kit for cleaning around the exterior of the home. The powerful 2100W induction motor provides 145Bar of pressure, which is powerful enough to blast away even the most stubborn dirt. By changing the nozzle you can also reduce the pressure and us this to clean vehicles or caravans etc. I bought this last year from a seller on ebay, I’m unsure where the cheapest place to get on is, so please check around. You can find more information on the Nilfisk website- : love.nilfisk.co.uk
Happy new year to everyone!
This is the first upload of 2019, I managed to get this edited over the Christmas period.
I’m still very busy, hence the lack of regular uploads.
All the best to everyone for the new year 😉
Ultimate Handyman hi I have c110.7. Is there a required hose length for water supply? Thank you
Nilfisk are so much better than karchers. My Nilfisk is 5 years old and still going strong, no broken motors like karcher.
Thanks for the comment 😉
Do the new brushes etc fit 2008 Poseidon 2-24 etc would you know ? ty
Proof that Lancashire is the garden of Eden, it’s Summer everyday. Good to see you back doing videos.
Thanks, I'm trying my best to get more videos filmed and edited ;-)
Thanks for the comment
Look better than the usual Karchers we buy and bin after 12 months, looks a solid job and on wheels too 👍
Yes, this is a great piece of kit
Thanks for the comment 😉
Many thanks for a great review with impressive demonstrations and no flannel. I think it's now a toss up now between this one and an AVA
Glad it was helpful!
I hope you get years of use, from whichever make you choose 👍
These are great pressure washers, bought the 110Bar version 6 years ago. Took a gamble when I saw the price of the yellow ones, so glad I did. Only gets used around once a year and I can never workout which nozzel is which. The patio cleaner works great, may buy the bigger version to replace the current one.
The nozzle's can be confusing. They could make them easier to identify by making one of them a different colour!
Thanks for the comment
Looks a good piece of kit Chez. It looks as if some thought has gone into the design. Good to see you back making videos!
Thanks Dave,
Yes it is a great piece of kit. I have two Nilfisk pressure washers now and they are both great.
Thanks for the comment
Hi do you think this would be suitable to use for a pressure washing business? Do you think it would do a good enough job?
No, I doubt it. Most professionals that I have seen, use petrol machines and have their own IBC filled with water 👍
Picked one of these up ,it's brilliant for car cleaning,well Impressed.
Yeah, this is a great piece of kit. I look forwards to using this when I clean the drive etc.
Thanks for the comment 👍
Used mine for the second year now. Still working without problems (hopefully this txt won't jinx it...)
I'm sure it will last for years. Just ensure it is not left in a position where it can freeze, as that normally finishes them off, as the water that is left in the washer can expand and cause irreparable damage.
Thanks for the comment
Happy new year to you. Nice to see you back👍👍. A nice jet wash video in January to remind us what a summer we had👍.
Thanks ;-)
Happy new year.
Yes, what a fantastic summer 👍
Thanks for the comment 😉
You made that video when the weather was better 😎 nice piece of kit ! I have a Stanley fatmax one which is very similar and has been very good indeed. Happy New year to you and your family
Yes, I filmed most of it in the fabulous summer, but never found time to edit it.
Happy new year ;-)
Thanks for the comment
I have the same washer, it’s packed up already, only used it 6 times
Mine is still going great, I've even let the girlfriend try to break it and she's not managed to yet. I watched her a few days back, trying to move the unit by pulling it with the hose, then unplugging it while it was still switched on!
Thanks for the comment 👍
Tim Shaw can l have her l will put it to good use
The 'instructions' seem to imply that you can lock the spray. What I take to be the locking mechanism doesn't hold. Am I doing something wrong?
I'm not 100% certain, but I think the locking part is to lock it, to prevent you from accidentally switching it on.
@@ultimatehandyman Thanks for that. I was hoping I could lock the spray on - it makes my hand ache after a while holding the trigger all the time.
@@raysmith114 Yeah, it's a pain! There is probably some health and safety regulations to stop them from making it, so that you can lock it on.
I think the first nozzle you used is the Tornado nozzle as it goes round and round fella. What I dont like about those ones with the Hose roll, is the hose roll. Do you know if you could use it without it being on the roll. I have a 110.3-5 and the hose on it didn't last very long at all and I ended up buying a quality hose that I have had a for a few years now. The cost of hose replacement for the 125/135/140/145 etc is putting me off buying a newer model.
To be honest when I first filmed the video I thought the same thing, but during editing I changed it. I spent the best part of an hour searching the net to see which nozzle was which and the general consensus was that the tornado nozzle was adjustable one and the power speed nozzle rotated, of course this could be incorrect.
Yes, you don't need to use the hose reel, I'm sure any Nilfisk hose will fit this machine.
Thanks for the comment
Hello there I’ve just bought one of these. Please can you tell me what connector use please to connect the washer to a hose
Normally it is a 3/4 inch BSP thread (if I remember rightly), so a standard tap connector like this will work-

My garden hose is Hozelock, so I already have the other connectors needed on my hosepipe. These are useful to get started- www.toolstation.com/hozelock-hose-fitting-starter-set/p90177
@@ultimatehandyman thanks for the reply buddy. Much appreciated
Thanks for the video. Does the washer handle with the lances attached have enough reach or do you have to bend down while cleaning the patio?
I'm about 5'10" and it is just right for me. If you find it too short, you might be able to get an extension piece for it.
Thanks for the comment 👍
Thanks for the reply. I'm 5'9" so it should be okay for me.
Please show what tap connectors do we need? I bought it yesterday but I cannot connect it to my garden water tap. Thanks
I use one of these, but I use Hozelock fittings on my hose pipe too-

This is not a strongest washer in the market, but its perform realy realy well. I dont know its came from the underrated specs, or Nilfisk use some special desinged nozle, but 150-160bar rated karcher modells not able to represent the same preformance i think.
This is my second Nilfisk now, I use the other one on smaller jobs. I'm happy with the performance of both of them (can't remember the other model number). I have used more powerful pressure washers, mainly petrol driven ones, but this is superb for use around the house.
Thanks for the comment
@@ultimatehandyman
I'm also intrested in a petrol one instead of electrical one beacuse of the powercord. But bigger nilfisk models are came with 15m lenght hose, and its not bulky as a petrol one and i can get wider range of useful accesories for the electrical ones.
The Professional Karcher range would be even more powerful than this, the home range the K5-K7 should match this performance. Remember to take into account the Operating Pressure, not the max pressure of the machine.
Where are you based
Give the cable half a twist when you coil it up or it will shag, and fail to work. Manufactures love it when you rap a cable like that as they charge you to fix it.
Thanks for the comment 👍
What should I use to clean a car ? Tornado or power speed? I'd like to make foam. Thanks in advance :)
Tornado would be best, the power speed is better for cleaning concrete/masonry etc. The names of the nozzles are a little confusing!
Thanks for the comment 👍
@@ultimatehandyman Hi, i would like to correct you, the one you call tornado is actually power speed, and the one you call power speed is tornado. 😅 @patricio if you want to make foam, buy a quality foam gun for nilfisk pressure washers. But do NOT buy nilfisk own foam gun, its very bad!
i thought the tornado nozzle was the first one you showed, hence the rotating jet..the power washer being the adjustable one ??
No, I don't think so. I think their names for the nozzles are very confusing. I even had to check myself, as the names for the nozzles do not make sense.
Thanks for the comment
@@ultimatehandyman thanks for the reply, yes you are correct, I too have been scouring the internet, i used to own one of these and couldn't remember which was which.. it seems its called the tornado nozzle as its only 20 degree spray nozzle . so looks like this V which i guess resemble a tornado somewhat..great video anyway thanks
@@danny-qs1lv They could have named the nozzles more clearly, but that aside their pressure washer and nozzles are great ;-)
Thanks for the comments
Quick question, on some websites that sell this they state it is "low noise" is that true? The Karcher one I've had for has always seemed pretty noisy so I'd like something that doesn't annoy the neighbours when I was the car every week :)
For a pressure washer, it is not noisy- but I have not measured it, or compared it to other brands!
Thanks for the comment 👍
is the hose already connected to the machine though the reel?
Yes, it is 👍
@@ultimatehandyman one more question can you replace the if you have a issues or its damaged?
@@garethdavies7564 I've not looked at it that closely, but it must be replaceable.
The hose should last years to be honest, they are normally very durable 👍
So when are you going to wash your van?
Well, I think I have had it about 11 years and probably washed it 5 times 😁
Washing vehicles is just a waste of time and money, unless you have a nice car. I tend to try and buy something that will cost me £1000 per year in depreciation (or less). My current van was about £7000 in 2008 (£636 per year- assuming it is worth £0 now). A good friend of mine told me that women and vehicles are the greatest asset reducing machines known to man 😆
Thanks for the comment
@@ultimatehandyman lmao 😂very true mate indeed they do reduce wealth. Both Can Be depreciating assets.
Absolutely 👍🏻
Great video, thanks. Good to see you posting videos again.
You are welcome. I have a lot of videos at the editing stage, which I'm trying to get finished. Hopefully I'll get back to uploading once a week.
Thanks for the comment 😉
Build quality plz?
It's very good. I have a few Nilfisk power tools and the build quality is superb. It should last for years ;-)
Thanks for the comment
Ultimate Handyman where are Nilfisk made?
That's not 145 bar of pressure, the operating pressure will be lower than that probably around 110-120 bar, the back of the machine will state the operating pressure, if you hook up a pressure gauge to the machine it may hit 145 bar when you turn it on for a second then it will go down to it's operating pressure when you start using it.
I just go off what the manufacturers say, I did not measure the pressure.
Thanks for the comment 👍
Thanks for this review. I´m looking for a new pressure washer, this video was very helpful. Best wishes from Germany
You are welcome
Thanks for the comment 👍
Great vid I am looking at purchasing one of these is the hose anti kink
I'm not sure to be honest. It is quite sturdy though, I can't remember it kinking when I was using it, but that does not mean that it's anti-kink.
Thanks for the comment 👍
@@ultimatehandyman many thanks for your help
I bought one of there 11 month ago it just went up in smoke lol, amazon sent a replacement under warranty that lasted about a second turned on buzzed and died nilfisk stepped up and are collecting it for repair tomorrow 🤦♂️
Mine has been superb. Good to see that Nilfisk have good service ;-)
Thanks for the comment 👍
@@ultimatehandyman forgot to mention amazon refunded the original purchase after the new replacement died 🤔 which was collected first thing this morning by nilfisk for inspection 🧐 i will have to wait a few days for the results
This vs Karcher K5 full Control? 🤔
Not sure, as I've not tested the K5
Thanks for the comment 👍
Good job.
Thanks for the comment
Nice. Thanks
You are welcome
Thanks for the comment
Nice machine. It´s hard to tell from a video, but it seems very quiet in operation.
It's about the same volume as most pressure washers. I reduced the volume when editing the video, so that it did not upset too many people.
Thanks for the comment
Jet washing in shorts! Terrible ;)
I have found that water pressure has more effect on performance than any brand though. Been in some houses where even the best struggle.
Yes, that was my mate- I always wear long trousers.
Thanks for the comment 😉
Thanks Handyman 👍🏾
You are welcome ;-)
Thanks for the comment 👍
👍🤓👍
Thanks for the comment Wayne 😉
The pressure isn't that important it's the water displacement, the more expensive the washer the more water they displace, the pressures are all around the same.
Thanks for the comment
The pressure is actually pretty important, and not so much the water displacement. Which will clean better? A bucket of water thrown on the green rocks (lots of water displacement), or the same amount of water being pushed out true a little hole at high pressure? And the higher the pressure, the more force there is behind that waterjet, the more dirt it will remove. Here's another example: go to your local carwash and try holding one of those high pressure hoses with one hand (and turn it on of course). One advice: make sure you have your full-face helmet on. :)
Cheers.
