ORIGINALLY $149.95... NOW AS LOW AS $37.95 WHILE SUPPLIES LAST!



For those of you who are not already familiar with it, the NOMAD Portable Washer is a fantastic device. It operates off 12v power (12-18v range), has a 3 gallon tank, lots of power, a great nozzle, and a long hose. It's perfect for mobile detailing or washing your car in your own garage!



Until recently, there were two NOMAD models. Unfortunately, the low-end model has been discontinued and is being flushed out of stock. The good news is that these little gems can still be found for less than $40!!! The big unit is $250 list, often discount to $199.

Nomad H2O On-The-Go Portable Power Washer



I got mine off of Amazon for the same price and added a 110v AC to 12v DC adapter so I can run it off of wall power. This thing works amazing with HD TOTAL and HD FREE!

Better grab one of these things while you can!



:bolt



Works great with:



HD FREE

HD TOTAL



If you plan to use it in the garage, you will need a 12v adapter. The Nomad need an adapter rated at 5 AMPs or better:

If you need to make this thing 100% portable, add a car battery booster/starter pack with a 12v socket:

For about $125 you can have a totally flexible portable washer system that costs $200 to $250 if you purchase the big Nomad:

By the way, I've used the big unit and it's too heavy and bulky. Packing your own power make more sense to me.
 
At first I was thinking... hmm I don't need that, but then I figured out the perfect use. In the winter, my hose freezes up and doesn't thaw till spring. This will be great for rinsing and cleaning wheel wells before I use ONR. I can fill it up with some warm water and rinse away. In for 1.
 
That would be great for washing my car at my apartment as I dont have a hose and that could easily rinse away some soap, heck even if i have to fill it up 2x still be worth it.
 
Mine is on the way. Thanks for the heads up. Do you run any sort of dilution for this machine for Free or Total?
 
looks to be a cool unit . . . . how much power is behind it though? I have a pressure washer now and a foam gun so not sure where it would come in handy but that is awesome!



Second thought you could almost wash a car any place LoL

I put HD FREE Concentrate in mine at 20:1, not 10:1. It takes a pint of 20:1 solution to wash my Bronco properly with the sprayer, and almost none of it hits the ground.



HD TOTAL Concentrate can also be used at 20:1 for light wheel cleaning.
 
I got one awhile ago and did the same thing. It is great for apartment people. Make sure not to cheap out and get a quality adapter if you get the $40.00 unit.

what kind of quality adapter ? can u give me more detail , i got the one in vid
 
Ive had my eye on these since the company first sold out to a larger company. I forget all the particulars but this model was the prototype version that went to manufacturing and reselling. I had considered investing in them about 5 years ago but they had a minimum order which I wasnt comfortable with. I though they would be great for RV's and such! Which is why I just now bought one at this price. If I recall, back then they were going for about $179.00 retail. Wholesale was like $95.00. To think i just picked one up with an adapter delivered for a tad over $50.00

Scored!!

Gives me a chance to use it next weekend on my trailer which has been sitting for the last 10 months. NRWS to the rescue with this Nomad !! Followed up with some DG 951!

Or, better yet, I can try the HD Total!
 
For all of you who purchased the Nomad H2O pressure washer. Lets hear some feed back on it. Looks like a nice piece of equipment,especially for motorcycles and winter washing! If I keep looking at this thing,I'm going to order one real quick. The only one I saw was on Ebay for $179 plus shipping and tax!

You got it! I picked up two of these units. Gotta a feeling one or both will go bad

within a year. They remind of the portable jump starters i've had (junk).
 
I think it would work well for engine detailing. You could use distilled water to dodge water spots plus distilled water does not conduct electricity, less likely it would screw up something while rinsing the engine.
