Two big retailers wanted the brand. Their plan was simple: put the same washer on a shelf and charge $500. Maddy would rather sell direct than make Aussie families pay the markup.

It started with a wasted Saturday

Drag out the hose. Find the extension lead. Hunt for a power point. Clean the car. Then pack everything away.

Maddy Connors from Melbourne had done it more times than she could count.

“By the time it was all set up I'd lost half my Saturday. And forget about cleaning the ute at the campsite or the boat at the ramp.”Maddy Connors, founder

She wanted no cord, no tap and no power point. It still had to have real pressure.

The cordless washers she tried were weak, flimsy or died after a single wash. Then she found one with a real 48V lithium battery that could pull water from a bucket or click onto a garden hose.

A bucket of water was the whole setup. No extension lead across the driveway. No power point needed.

She started selling it to Aussie families and word spread. It became the #1 cordless pressure washer in Australia, with 108,500+ sold and 4.9 stars from 2,358 reviews. It has sold out 3 times in the last 4 months.

Then the big retailers came knocking

In the last month alone, two big Australian retailers and hardware chains made offers. They wanted to buy the brand outright or put it on their shelves.

On paper it was the easy option. Then Maddy saw the catch.

They wanted to sell it for $500. Same machine. Their shelf. Their markup.

Aussie families would have paid the difference.

Maddy said no. She built PressureAus for busy Aussie families, not to sit on a shelf at a price many would not pay.

That is why you will not find it in a store. It is only sold direct online, with free shipping to your door.

5 reasons the old setup stayed in the shed

1. You do not need a tap

Drop the filter hose into a bucket or water tank. If a tap is handy, connect your garden hose instead.

2. No power lead near the water

No extension lead across a wet driveway and no searching for a power point. The washer runs on its rechargeable 48V battery.

3. Cordless does not mean weak

Choose 500, 1000 or up to 1800 PSI. Use a lower setting for the car and the top setting for pavers or stubborn grime.

4. Enough battery for real washing

Expect around 18 minutes of non-stop spraying or 30+ minutes of normal stop-start washing.

5. Everything packs into one case

The washer, 48V battery, charger, 6-in-1 nozzle, foam cannon, hose and water filter pack into the hard carry case.

Quick answers before you buy

Do I need a tap or power point?

No. Use a bucket or water tank, or connect a garden hose. The 48V battery means no power point is needed.

Is it strong enough?

It has 3 settings: 500, 1000 and up to 1800 PSI. The top setting is for driveways, pavers and stubborn grime.

How long does the battery last?

Around 18 minutes non-stop or 30+ minutes with normal stop-start washing.

How long does it take to charge?

A full charge takes 4 to 8 hours.

Why is it not in hardware stores?

Maddy turned the retailers down. A store wanted to sell it for $500. PressureAus is only sold direct online.

How long does delivery take?

Shipping is free Australia-wide. Orders usually arrive in 10 to 15 days because the lithium battery goes through extra safety checks.

What if I do not like it?

You are covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee.
