As with any household, outdoor cleaning is the toughest and most neglected aspect of cleaning.

You get oil spills, dirt, debris, mud, dirty water and all sorts of gunk on your car.<\/p>\n<p>Now, while a bucket of detergent water and a little elbow grease might have done the trick in the old times, it\u2019s the 21st century for Pete\u2019s sake. Today, we have an entire host of technologies whose main purpose is to make life easier. When it comes to outdoor cleaning and washing your car, nothing beats the awesome power of a pressure washer.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s my honest and comprehensive review of the Hilka RAC-HP221 RAC Pressure Washer.<\/p>\n<h2>Hilka Pressure Washer review<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-353\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gardendad.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Hilka-RAC-HP221-RAC-Pressure-Washer.jpg\" alt=\"hilka rac-hp221 rac pressure washer\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gardendad.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Hilka-RAC-HP221-RAC-Pressure-Washer.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.gardendad.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Hilka-RAC-HP221-RAC-Pressure-Washer-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.gardendad.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Hilka-RAC-HP221-RAC-Pressure-Washer-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gardendad.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Hilka-RAC-HP221-RAC-Pressure-Washer-70x70.jpg 70w, https:\/\/www.gardendad.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Hilka-RAC-HP221-RAC-Pressure-Washer-84x84.jpg 84w, https:\/\/www.gardendad.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Hilka-RAC-HP221-RAC-Pressure-Washer-237x237.jpg 237w, https:\/\/www.gardendad.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Hilka-RAC-HP221-RAC-Pressure-Washer-370x370.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.gardendad.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Hilka-RAC-HP221-RAC-Pressure-Washer-224x224.jpg 224w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2gaOBf2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>&gt; Click to check\u00a0today&#8217;s price<\/strong><\/a><\/h4>\n<h2>What are you buying?<\/h2>\n<p>Designed for all domestic outdoor cleaning tasks, the Hilka RAC-HP221 RAC Pressure Washer is a lightweight and super compact pressure washer that offers great cleaning performance. The machine excels in areas that involve jet washing vehicles, bikes, motor homes, patios, walls and even stonework that can stand up to the pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Boasting of an eye-catching black and orange exterior, it\u2019s hard to miss the unit. This particular machine incorporates a very powerful 2000 Watt motor that generates approximately 150 bars of pressure. It doesn\u2019t matter what type of stain you got there; that is enough pressure to even pull the paint off some walls. All this adds up to about 6.7 litres per minute to ensure that the targeted area gets a good hose down.<\/p>\n<h4>Key features summary<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Size: 63.8 x 38 x 29 cm<\/li>\n<li>Power: AC, 2,000W<\/li>\n<li>Flow rate: 402\u00a0L\/hour<\/li>\n<li>Max pressure: 150 bar<\/li>\n<li>Cord length: 5m<\/li>\n<li>Weight: 12 Kg<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How easy is it to use?<\/h2>\n<p>Like most of the other products from Hilka, the RAC pressure washer is really easy to use. User friendliness starts with mobility; and that\u2019s exactly what this unit offers.<\/p>\n<p>Even at 12 Kilograms, the Hilka Pressure Washer is surprisingly compact, light and very easy to move around. This is all made possible by a wheeled chassis that allows for easy manoeuvring as you clean. So whether you are hosing away the driveway or cleaning your cars, you should be able to move around with utmost ease.<\/p>\n<p>Another feature that makes the Hilka pressure washer so user-friendly is the immense number of accessories included by the manufacturer. There is literally a different tool for a different job. I was particularly intrigued by the soap dispensing bottle that lets you apply soap as you clean.<\/p>\n<p>This came in handy for me since the dirt and grime on some of my sensitive surfaces would not have come off if it wasn\u2019t for this feature. While the Hilka pressure washer is highly mobile, we always welcome a long hose that can withstand pressure. This unit comes with 5 meters of hose and an additional 5 meters on the power cable to give homeowners more leeway.<\/p>\n<h2>What\u00a0accessories are included?<\/h2>\n<p>Upon buying this pressure washer from Hilka, you can expect to find the following items in the box:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hilka RAC-HP221 RAC Pressure Washer<\/li>\n<li>Fixed brush<\/li>\n<li>Patio cleaner<\/li>\n<li>Rotary brush<\/li>\n<li>Turbo lance<\/li>\n<li>High-pressure lance<\/li>\n<li>Soap dispensing bottle<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Pros<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Perfect for domestic outdoor use.<\/li>\n<li>Numerous attachments for different tasks.<\/li>\n<li>2000 watts of power on motor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Cons<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>The Hilka RAC-HP221 RAC Pressure Washer barely has any setbacks, but some customers claim it\u2019s a bit tough to put together.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Food for thought<\/h2>\n<p>A word of caution to all those who use the Hilka RAC-HP221 Pressure Washer. Once you put in the detergent, there is really no easy way to empty it out if you want a soap free spray. The detergent level only drops to minimum after extensive use and will not empty out any further. If you absolutely need to clean without the detergent, the only way to empty the unit is to tip the entire unit upside down and drain it out.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>Lightweight, compact, versatile and highly affordable, the Hilka RAC-HP221 RAC Pressure Washer is ideal for medium and large households. The various attachments make outdoor cleaning a breeze and also help to effectively clean the type of surface it was meant for. If you are looking for the ultimate solution to domestic outdoor cleaning, then why not give the RAC-HP221 RAC Pressure Washer by Hilka a spin today?<\/p>\n<p>If you want to see what else from the pressure washer world I also recommend, check my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gardendad.co.uk\/best-pressure-washer-reviews\/\">best pressure washer reviews<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Where to buy?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Amazon UK:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2gaOBf2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>&gt; CLICK TO CHECK TODAY&#8217;S PRICE<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While having a big house and a nice car is great, trouble usually starts when it comes to cleaning and maintaining your stuff.
