The best mini washes 2022

Mini-washes have long ceased to be something necessary only for motorists and motorcyclists. Of course, many people buy them, wanting to save on the process of keeping the car clean, but the use of mini-washes in the household is not limited to this. For example, residents of the private sector will use them to clean dirt from house paths, garden tools, equipment, or walls of buildings. At construction sites, mini-washes are used to wash the wheels of trucks that drive onto the streets of the city. Simply put, it is desirable to have a sink wherever there is open ground and dirt, and there are still many such areas in our country.

On the modern market, you can find hundreds of models of mini-washers, for any budget and different tasks. It is important not to miscalculate with the choice of the desired machine. In order to help our readers decide on the choice of a mini-sink, we asked sales assistant of a hardware store Sergey Belov talk about the features of their work and make a list of the best mini washes in 2022.

With such a mini-wash, it will be problematic for you to wash a huge SUV from dried mud after a fishing trip, but it will come down to clean the body from a weekly layer of dust.

How to choose a minisink

It is curious, but in the CIS countries, many still call all mini-washes “Kerchers”. Such a habit has gone from the name of one of the most popular manufacturers of the best mini-sinks. It is clear that progress does not stand still, and over time, analogues of German cars appeared.

However, the general principle of operation of all mini-washes is the same. Through a low pressure hose and a filter, water enters the sink. The machine’s powerful motor generates tremendous pressure, which pushes the fluid further through the pump and high pressure hose. As a result, she breaks out through the gun, to which you can attach different nozzles.

Washing power

The pressure of the water jet in the minisink is created by the engine. In most of these devices, it is electric, but there are also gasoline models. The power of mini-washers is usually measured in units of pressure. For domestic use, conventional devices are enough for 100-150 bar. Anything more suitable for industrial work. Another important parameter is the amount of water that is consumed by the miniwash per hour of operation. For applied use in everyday life, there will be enough machines with a flow rate of 300-450 liters per hour.

The pump is an important mini-wash unit. It is through it that the water from the pump passes. In the most expensive models, it is made of bronze, in simpler ones, it is made of plastic or component metal.

Water intake in a minisink

Water for any mini-sinks is taken in two ways – from a tank (bucket, canister) or running water (from a tap through a hose). The second option will be ideal if you arrange a contactless car wash in stationary conditions. Modern models of miniwashes operate in two modes.

Additional nozzles for mini sinks

If desired and the availability of funds, even from the simplest mini-sink, you can make a universal device for cleaning surfaces. By default, complete with the machine, the manufacturer usually puts rotary (ideal for removing hardened dirt from rough surfaces) and fan (sprays water like a spray gun) nozzles. Manufacturers of the best mini-washers leave the opportunity to purchase nozzles with brushes, scrapers or a special foaming agent for car shampoo.

Important – each manufacturer may have its own, unique, connector for connecting nozzles. Before buying, be sure to check the price of nozzles and their availability in stores. To save money, you can order nozzles in Chinese online stores.

Hose and mains cable length

For safety reasons, you need to stay away from sockets during the washing process. Therefore, choose mini-sinks in which the length of the power wire is at least 4-5 meters. The same rules apply to the miniwash hose. Remember that it is difficult to bend it in good mini-washers – such a machine will last you longer.
