Yard Force 2200 PSI (Electric - Cold Water) Pressure Washer

There are a ton of pressure washers to pick from. You can pick from gas, electric or battery operated machines. Even psi is widely varied from machine to machine. However if you’re a homeowner looking for an all around quality machine that has some pretty cool bells and whistles, not to mention powerful, the Yard Force might be something right up your alley.

This is the first time I have had any experience with Yard Force. In fact, I had not heard of them until we went to GIE this year. This pressure washer caught our eye as it was very eye appealing, so we just had to get a closer look. We had the chance to try one of these out for ourselves and have to say this is a very cool pressure washer.

Yard Force DialFirst, this pressure washer, model YF2200BL, is designed with a brushless motor and puts out 2200 psi while working off 13 amps. One cool feature of this pressure washer is the pressure control adjustment. Just turn the dial to your desired output and you’re ready to go to work. You can adjust the pressure at 1,300, 1,600, 1,900 and 2,200 psi. The unit is fully protected with it’s cage and also has a folding handle. While most companies choose to include a junkie hose line, the Yard Force comes with a high quality 25′ hose. The power cord is nice and long coming in at 35′ with a pigtail GFCI.

The wand is a stainless steel wand with a 1/4″ quick connect tip. Just below the handle is where you can easily store and access different tips. You get four tips with the unit 15°, 40°, Soap plus BONUS Turbo nozzle. The unit has 12″ wheels which are a good size when trying to roll over your hose or cracks on the ground. This information I took from the website, but according to them this pressure washer operates at an 89% efficiency compared to a 190cc at a 22% inefficiency. Also the cost to operate is much less. The YF2200BL is $0.19 per hour versus $2.03 per hour for the 190cc engine.

All in all I really like this pressure washer. It’s powerful and easy to move around. They didn’t cheap out on the hose or length of the power cord, which is a huge plus. Now I am not familiar with this company, so I am not sure how well they are built and how they will last over time. I like the fact that it comes with a 3 year warranty in case I do experience a problem. The unit seems to be quality and I really wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this to a friend.

Wife used it to clean siding on the house. It worked just fine. I cleaned the frame on my pick-up so I can paint it.

Got it plugged it in. Leaks underneath when power washing and when I touched metal I got electrocuted. Keeps resetting the surge protector. I gave up with it. Never again!

I have been pressure washing every day. I'm 70 years old ant it is so easy to use. The pressure settings are wonderful, from low on up to high pressure.

I would recommend it to my closest friends and family. Being electric is good. No pulling a crank card that's so hard. Electric power you just press a button add spray. I love it. I give it a 100%.

This pressure washer is everything I hoped for when I switched to electric. Plenty of power, easy to use and no more gas smell.

This pressure washer really works great and is dependable.

Having no prior pressure washing experience, using this machine was very pleasant and easy. Assembly was minimal and simple, so I was off quickly to the task of cleaning a very neglected old concrete garage floor. I'd pre-soaked and spot scrubbed with concrete cleaner and an oil cleaning agent then followed with the pressure washer using just water.

The machine is fairly quiet and the power output seemed moderate, not what a gas unit would do, but powerful enough to remove some of the oil "slag" that had built up on the surface as well as some old paint drips. Years of dirt easily lifted, but the oil was only partially removed.

It is easy to wheel around. Cord storage is great. The folding handle makes for compact storage. The only functional disappointment is that it only has a hose for using detergent rather than an on-board container.

Overall, I am satisfied that I made the best purchase decision with this unit.

For homeowners, a gasoline engine that you use perhaps twice per year is simply troublesome. I just gave my gas powered washer away, as I was tired of the difficulties trying to start it. My patience for pull-start engines that don't start is not very good. Additionally, the pneumatic tires would typically be nearly deflated with each use.

In moving to electric, I knew was likely to be disappointed with the performance but at least the darn thing would start. After reviewing many of the electric units out there, I purchased this one. I am incredibly pleased. I really didn't notice a degradation in power. The performance is adequate for my purposes, mostly siding, deck, and equipment cleaning.

The caddy (?) is also top notch. The hose and cord storage solutions are sturdy and handy. The large tires make the thing easy to move and I need not worry about deflation. The ability to use the thing indoors is an added bonus as I intend to use it to clean areas of my basement, prior to painting.

There's no doubt that gasoline powered units can be the right solution for heavy and frequent users of power washers however, in my opinion, this unit is the perfect solution for most homeowners. The thing just runs, and runs well.

I have a torn rotator cuff and pull-starting those gas engines is just too much. Former electric washers were too hard to move around with those little wheels.

This is just what I wanted and the price was right.

Bought this one for work. Liked it so much, I will be buying one for my personal use.

If you have read my earlier reviews (Aug. 15th and 22nd) I had problems with my first pressure washer and mis- communications with customer service.
Now an update:
I did send KJ a copy of my receipt Aug. 15. I sent it to him by fax and e-mail, just to be sure he got it.

When I call 8/22/16 at 10:00am Yard Force did call back after 3:00pm that day. What I found out from Daniel C. was KJ was new to the company. Daniel C. looked into my problem and told me a replacement unit was shipped out and should be delivered Wed. the 24th. and it was.
I boxed up the defective pressure washer and took it to the UPS Store to ship it back. That was done on Friday (8/26/16)

Saturday (8/27/16) first day trying the replacement pressure washer and everything was working just like the first one did. No problems so far. It did a great job of cleaning the veranda front porch, to also removing the dirt and spider webs as well at 1600psi.

Down side of replacement machine:
Wheels wobble like a use lawn mower. Not real bad but a little. Two loose nuts on the brackets that the electrical cord wraps around.

So, Yard Force did a good job of replacing my defective pressure washer. I hope this problem is now behind me and won't happen again?

Thank you Yard Force and Pressure Washer Direct for taking care of my problem.

There is one thing that I would recommend is to have quick connectors on the garden hose to the pressure washer and to have quick connectors on both ends of the pressure hose that connects to the pump at one end and the gun at the other.

With the quick connectors you can disconnect the spray gun from the hose, the hose from the machine, and the garden hose from the machine. The quick connectors keep the hoses from getting too tangled up. Also when done with the pressure washer, disconnect everything, then it is easy to use the Briggs & Stratton Pressure Washer Pump Saver after using it for the day. Also, it is easier to store the pressure washer with everything disconnected, even back into it's original box.

Pressure Washers Direct should have the quick disconnect connectors for the hose ( for both ends) in the accessories tab for hand picked accessories
