<\/a><\/p>\nWhen Screwfix asked if we\u2019d like to try one of their new Titan TT185 models, I was interested but I wondered if it could better the Hydrashot as it was a high bar that had been set.<\/p>\n
Also, someone had sent me a very nasty Far Eastern device to test once and that was truly horrible.<\/p>\n
Titan is actually a sub-brand of Screwfix and my first impressions are very good. A quality package with with everything packed nicely within. I like the fact that Titan gives you a battery (5-amp; 18-volt at that) and a charger as some companies I note don\u2019t. To me, that\u2019s a bit like hotels that always used to include breakfast in their room rate but now charge extra for it!<\/p>\n
Unboxing it only enhanced my positive impressions. Quality components that also include a 6-metre hose and nozzle with five settings. A good start.<\/p>\n
In case you are unaware these handheld pressure washers are ideal if you live with a water meter and work out that running say a Kaercher K7 (brilliant though they are) for ten minutes will see about 100-litres of water being added to your next water bill. If you go to an event like a car show and you could do with giving your car a quick \u2018splash and go\u2019 they are brilliant, as if you can fill a bucket of water you can wash your car with the Titan device.<\/p>\n
They are never going to be able to rival your local jet wash or aforementioned Kaercher for water pressure but they will do a good job. With its 5-amp; 18-volt capability it has a decent amount of power for what it is rated at 22-bar with a flow capacity of 120-litres per hour.<\/p>\n I\u2019ll always use the Hydrashot 2 as my yardstick with these tests. Two things it doesn\u2019t have that the Hydrashot does have is an \u2018eco\u2019 button (thus reducing pressure and water flow) and also I don\u2019t think you can attach a 2-litre plastic bottle to it, if you don\u2019t have, say, a bucket to hand.<\/p>\n These handhelds are brilliant for clearing caked-on mud off your pushbike after a wet, muddy ride or even if you just want to clean the filthy wheels on your car. Nothing to plug in, nothing to wheel out, just literally pick up and go.<\/p>\n Criticisms? Not many really. Of the five settings on the spray nozzle, two were excellent actually, but three of them were – I found – virtually useless.<\/p>\n Overall, I\u2019d give it a strong 7.5 out of ten and I\u2019d happily pay \u00a3115 for it given what it can do (rather than what it can\u2019t) and the value for money (two-year guarantee included) on offer.<\/p>\n More from your local Screwfix store or by visiting www.screwfix.com<\/u><\/a>\u00a0ENDS.<\/strong><\/p>\n \n \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Handheld pressure washers are nothing new, of course.
