Makita DHW180 vs. The Competition

When choosing a cordless power washer, most users compare the Makita DHW180 against the Worx Hydroshot WG620E. Here is why the Makita remains the premium choice for serious users:

Feature	Makita DHW180 LXT	Standard Product
Build Quality	Professional-grade (XPT Technology)	Entry-level / Domestic
Battery Ecosystem	Compatible with 270+ LXT® Tools	Limited PowerShare Range
Max Runtime	Up to 83 mins (with 5.0Ah)	Approx. 15–20 mins
Water Source	Tap, Bucket, or Plastic Bottle	Tap or Bucket
Durability	High (Dust & Splash Resistant)	Standard

Why Makita Wins: While the Worx is a popular hobbyist tool, the Makita DHW180 is built to the standards of the LXT® platform. It offers significantly longer runtimes on low-power modes and superior weather sealing (XPT), making it more reliable for trade environments or frequent outdoor use.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Makita DHW180 clean a driveway?
A: The DHW180 is a "power washer" designed for light-to-medium cleaning.14 While it is perfect for cars, bikes, and garden furniture, for heavy-duty driveway grime, we recommend a mains-powered Makita pressure washer like the HW111.

Q: Do I need a hose connection to use it?
A: No! One of the best features of the DHW180 is its self-priming function.15 You can submerge the included 6m suction hose into any clean water source (like a bucket or water butt) and it will draw the water automatically.

Q: How long does the battery last?
A: With a standard 5.0Ah battery, you get approximately 30 minutes of continuous use on High mode.16 If you switch to Low mode for lighter rinsing, the battery can last over an hour.17

Q: Is it compatible with other Makita batteries?
A: It is fully compatible with all Makita 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion batteries (1.5Ah to 6.0Ah). It is not compatible with G-Series or CXT® batteries.
