Makita HW132

Advantages: Awesome model, power, quality, Makita!

Disadvantages: It is difficult to find a tail for a foam nozzle, but I did it!

Comment: I use the second season of this car wash, it is gorgeous, but it is worth noting that my car wash was not made in China, but in Italy. Standard foam generators leaves much to be desired, and I bought a foamy nozzle with a tail, but this tail, it would be better if it didn’t exist at all, and I bought a new brass tail on the well-known Chinese website, so it’s perfect and absolutely like your own And this deficiency is solved with a bang. I've heard that this car wash is unstable if it is made in China, but I assure you that my (not from China) did not show a single "glitch" for 2 years.

Advantages: Price, pump.

Disadvantages: Poor gun design, poor service, no good foam nozzles.

Comment: After 3 days, the jet width switch stopped working normally. I handed over the guarantee, returned the money, I thought that the marriage, with whom it does not happen, bought the same. After 3 days, the jet switch stopped working normally, i.e. does not switch at all, you are turning it, but the jet does not change, did not carry it back, shook it with tape so that no one spits, set up the jet at an average level. The quality of the nozzle leaves much to be desired).
After 2 months of use, the handle of winding the hose broke, after 3 months - the sealing ring in the gun inside was torn, the benefit is that the gun can be easily disassembled and there was a ring of the required diameter, changed. But then worse: a pistol began to flow again after a couple of weeks, dismantled, a crack on the plastic tube (quite possibly due to a blow, as I saw that the pistol was “put” a couple of times on the asphalt from 30 cm height). I realized that the warranty case does not shine for me, so I turned to the service center of my city and ordered a pistol. He waited for the pistol in 6 months. A year later it took to replace some spring in the pump, because car wash refused to work. Replaced within 10 days. At the moment, while serving normally.

Advantages: Relative cheapness, decent pressure, easy operation, long hose.

Disadvantages: I worked less than 1 year (once a week - one car) and died ... or almost died. It will work for 15 seconds and cut down for three minutes and so constantly ... With the additional nozzles, the problem is almost not found.

Comment: I didn’t expect such a dirty trick from Makita ... The Chinese have been working for a neighbor for the fifth year and aren’t buzzing)))

Advantages: - The reeled up, rubber, flexible hose with a mobile connection on the gun. The device weighs 19 kg. - It stands rooted to the spot, clean in the sidelines, and does not try to fall. At the same time, the hose length is 8 meters - there is enough to wash the passenger car around without moving the car wash.
- Good washing power.
- I hope - the quality of the device.
- Behind an organizer for nozzles and a pocket for a wire. Very comfortably.

Disadvantages: - The Chinese assembly is visible at a glance through the casting of body parts. On the box and on the car wash it is written, made in China.The instructions say that "we entrusted the production to the Italian factory, with the reputation of the manufacturer with high-quality products." 140 bar is written on the box, and in the specifications it is signed that this is the peak power. Working 120 bar.
- It was necessary to lubricate the handle on the handle and its lithol in the places of friction on the body, otherwise friction "on the dry" of two plastic surfaces - rapid wear.
- Connector for water connection sticks to the side, it is plastic. A fine filter of transparent (which is convenient for condition monitoring) plastic is wound onto it. As a result, this noodle sticks out even stronger. The real chance to break about the garage doorway. I think to put a corner, and take aside.
- From Bosch nozzles do not fit. And I have a corner attachment from it, very convenient for hard-to-reach places. Makita has no such. I think how to make an adapter ... or maybe they come from Kercher?
- Car shampoo a couple of caps poured into a barrel for him and diluted with water. Does not take his wash. What she needs, I do not know.

Comment: - Confused by the recommendations of the plant: "water inlet pressure from 0.1 to 1 bar." This is up to 1 atmosphere. At my dacha, the pump presses 1.5-2. I wonder what will happen to the car wash.
- Wash the machine well. But without the use of active foam, do not expect a perfect result. Either it is necessary to wash the entire machine with a sink, and walk with a sponge or brush, just to "move" the plaque and rinse again. I have a silver and white car. If you simply wash them with a sink, then at a not very clean time of the year, it will completely come down without additional efforts. By the way, until autumn my wife’s car was polished with an American, deep penetration polish. Polished with rags, and the car washes much easier, and almost no raids. In short, the blowing agent does not think to buy.
- Connect the sink with a hose of no more than 5 meters and always bleed the air before turning on the sink. The filter shows its presence. Otherwise, the pump will work periodically "dry" and ... well, you understand.
