LWQ Pressure Washer, Power Washer with 4 Quick Connect Nozzles, High Pressure Cleaning Machine with Foam Cannon for Cars/Fences/Driveways/Patios/Home Cleaning

What I used it for

I spent a few weekends putting the LWQ S5 pressure washer through typical homeowner chores: cleaning a stained concrete driveway, a mildew-speckled fence, patio furniture that winters outdoors, and two vehicles. I also tried feeding it from both a hose bib and a large bucket to see how portable it really is.

Design and setup

The S5 is compact for a rolling electric washer, and the two-wheel chassis with a broad, anti-tip base makes it easy to move and park without wobble. Assembly is straightforward: attach the handle, connect the hose and wand, click in a nozzle, and you’re ready to go. Onboard storage for the nozzles and power cord actually works; I didn’t end up with stray accessories rolling around the garage.

Build quality is mixed in a sensible way. The quick-connect nozzles are metal and feel robust, and the fittings on the gun and wand are solid. The body panels are lightweight plastic—fine for home use, but you’ll want to avoid tossing it in and out of a truck. The footprint is small enough to tuck into a corner shelf when you’re done.

One setup tip that matters: purge air from both the inlet and high-pressure hoses before you switch on the machine. I open the trigger at low pressure with water connected until flow is steady, then power the unit. Doing this consistently gave me a stable, full-pressure spray with minimal sputter.

Nozzles and foam cannon

You get the four standard quick-connect tips—0°, 15°, 25°, and 40°—which cover most cleaning. Here’s how they shook out for me:

• 0°: For pinpoint work on stubborn spots. I used it sparingly on oil marks and thick moss. Keep the tip moving and at a safe distance to avoid etching softer materials.
• 15°: My go-to for concrete and heavily soiled hard surfaces. Good bite without being too aggressive.
• 25°: Useful all-rounder for decks, fence boards, and patio stones.
• 40°: Gentle option for rinsing cars, outdoor cushions, and painted surfaces.

The included foam cannon is better than the throwaway bottles many washers ship with. It produces a consistent blanket of suds and, importantly, the detergent never runs through the pump. That design protects the internals if you choose a harsher cleaner. I still stuck to vehicle soap for the car and a mild outdoor detergent for siding—bleach may be compatible with the bottle, but it’s risky for landscaping and finishes.

Performance on real jobs

The S5 is spec’d at up to 2.5 GPM, and while the manufacturer doesn’t list PSI, the real-world feel is solid for an electric unit in this size class. It won’t replace a contractor-grade gas washer for stripping paint or chewing through heavy-scale concrete, but it tackled residential grime well.

• Driveway: Using the 15° tip, I cut through winter grime and algae with deliberate, overlapping passes. Old oil spots required pretreatment and either a closer 15° pass or a quick hit with the 0°. Expect a couple of slow passes on stubborn areas if you want a uniform look.
• Fence and deck: With the 25° tip, I lifted gray weathering and surface mildew without shredding softwood fibers. Keep your distance consistent and avoid the temptation to over-clean knots and end grain.
• Patio furniture: The 40° tip cleaned plastic and coated metal chairs quickly without leaving tiger stripes.
• Car wash: Foam first, let it dwell, then rinse with the 40°. The flow helps move suds and road film efficiently, and the pressure felt safe over badges and seals.

Pressure delivery stayed steady; I didn’t experience hunting or pulsing once the hoses were bled. Cleaning time compared favorably to other homeowner electrics I’ve used—more flow means fewer passes on wide areas like concrete.

Water source flexibility

Being able to draw from a bucket is a real advantage if your outdoor spigot is inconvenient or if you’re cleaning away from a pressurized tap. I tested with a large contractor pail. The machine primed after I purged the lines, and performance was usable. Two pointers:

• Keep the intake fully submerged and the line as short and straight as possible.
• Expect priming to take a moment; once it’s moving water, the spray stabilizes.

For routine use, the faucet is simpler. Still, the bucket option turns this into a flexible wash station for a driveway without a hose bib, a boat slip, or a job around the side of a property.

Mobility, ergonomics, and noise

The two-wheel layout is practical. It rolls over expansion joints and gravel without drama, and the wide base resists tipping when you pull on the hose. The wand is light enough for long sessions, and the trigger throw isn’t fatiguing. The hose has some coil memory and isn’t the most supple; it softens in warm weather but can be stubborn on a cold morning.

Noise is notably lower than any small gas unit I’ve used. It’s still a power tool, but conversation-level loud, and I didn’t feel like I was broadcasting my Saturday chores to the block.

Hose and compatibility notes

The included high-pressure hose connects to the gun with a threaded fitting, and to the pump with a push-style quick-connect. That combination works fine out of the box, but it does mean generic third-party replacement hoses may not be plug-and-play. If you plan to upgrade to a longer or more flexible hose, verify the pump-side connector style or budget for an adapter. I also wouldn’t complain about a longer stock hose; working around a car sometimes required repositioning the unit more than I’d prefer.

Maintenance and care

A few habits will keep this washer performing well:

• Purge air in the lines before powering on to avoid cavitation and sputter.
• If you use detergent, flush the foam cannon and wand with clean water after each session.
• Don’t run the pump dry; confirm water flow before switching on.
• Store the unit drained and indoors if you see freezing temperatures.
• Inspect O-rings on quick-connects periodically and keep a few spares on hand.

These basics take minutes and pay off in consistent pressure and longer seal life.

Where it fits

The S5 lands squarely in the homeowner sweet spot: strong enough to refresh concrete and siding, gentle enough (with the right nozzle) for vehicles and outdoor fabrics, and small enough to live in a garage without demanding a shelf of its own. If your projects include stripping paint, blasting thick scale, or running all day on job sites, you’ll want a higher-PSI, pro-grade machine. For periodic residential cleaning and weekend projects, this is a capable, easy-going tool.

Pros

• Solid cleaning performance for residential tasks
• Four metal quick-connect nozzles and a useful foam cannon
• Detergent never passes through the pump
• Can draw from a faucet or a bucket
• Stable, easy-rolling chassis with sensible onboard storage
• Quieter than gas alternatives

Cons

• Pump-side hose connection limits third-party hose compatibility
• Stock hose could be longer and is somewhat stiff
• Plastic body panels feel more “homeowner” than “contractor”

Recommendation

I recommend the LWQ S5 for homeowners who want an easy-to-use, compact electric pressure washer that can handle driveways, patios, fencing, and vehicles without the noise or maintenance overhead of a gas unit. It’s thoughtfully equipped—the four nozzles cover most tasks, the foam cannon is genuinely useful, and the ability to pull from a bucket expands where you can work. The main caveat is the hose system: if you expect to upgrade to a longer or more flexible hose, plan for the proprietary pump-side connection. With that in mind, the S5 delivers reliable, steady cleaning power in a small, well-organized package that makes outdoor maintenance faster and more satisfying.
