Open Thread: FERREX 1600 PSI Electric Pressure Washer
This post contains affiliate links.
EDITOR’S NOTE: Updated for 2025.
I have vinyl siding on my home. For the most part, it’s fantastic: I don’t need to paint it or stain it or seal it or really do much else to it. About the only thing I need to do, sometimes, is clean it. Mold and dirt can sometimes start to grow on the vinyl, and when that happens I will sometimes enlist the help of a relative to blast it off with a pressure washer.
Aldi is no hardware store, but the grocer does sell some hardware products from time to time. That includes, occasionally, pressure washers.
Aldi has been selling pressure washers for a few years now. Prior to 2020, the grocer sold them under the WORKZONE label. Starting in 2020, Aldi has sold them under the FERREX label. Keep in mind that both WORKZONE and FERREX aren’t individual companies: they’re Aldi private labels.
Prior to 2024, Aldi sold the FERREX 1850 PSI Electric Pressure Washer. In 2024, Aldi instead began selling the FERREX 1600 PSI Electric Pressure Washer. We’ll take at look at that 1600 PSI version below.
What We Know:
The FERREX 1600 PSI Electric Pressure Washer is an Aldi Find, which means you can only find it in stores for a limited time. Each store gets one shipment, and after that sells out, you have to wait until next year to get it again. Aldi does not offer online ordering if this is out of stock at your local store.
In 2025, this cost $69.99. That’s $10 more than the $59.99 it sold for in 2024. However, that’s still less than most other pressure washers I can find.
In 2023 and back in 2021, the pressure washer sold for $99.99, but keep in mind it had a slightly higher PSI.
At 1600 PSI and 1.4 GPM, this is considered a light duty pressure washer.
The pressure washer in 2021 was made by Merotec USA, a subsidiary of a Chinese manufacturer named Sumec. Merotec is behind a number of FERREX-branded lawn care products. We don’t yet know who made the 2025 pressure washer.
In previous years, this has come with a three-year warranty, but Aldi has not yet published information about whether the 2025 pressure washer has a warranty.
According to Aldi, the 2025 pressure washer includes the following features:
- A carrying handle
- Max flow rate: 1.4 gallons per minute
- Max pressure: 1600 PSI
- Powerful 11 A motor
- Automatic stop/start function
- Quick-connect system
What We Don’t Know:
We haven’t test-driven this model, so we can’t speak to how easily it sets up, how well it cleans, or how durable it is.
Have you used this pressure washer? Let us know in the comments.
So we got this model and I used it to clean the house it works pretty good and today I wanted to clean my riding lawnmower and it start I plugged it in 4 different plugins from the garage to the house and nothing watch videos on YouTube and still nothing I’m sure I can’t get it replaced because I would get it again just not sure what’s up with it
Check for a re-set button.
I purchased aworkzone power washer late2019 model#wz55275 code#0311200/ it did a great job shame it broke after only useing 7times bottom plate on motor cracked at inlet will never buy their product again
so we bought one last year i was so happy i cleaned so much and the next day go to use it and nothing won’t start won’t spray we payed 70 bucks at Aldis i keep thinking it’s me and i’m not doing something right can’t take it back and now i’m stuck with a power washer i used for 2 hours
did you try resetting the GFCI switch on the plug itself?
we have one and the pressure is awesome however it doesnt seem to be sucking up the soap from the dispenser???? Feeling Frustrated
I am having the same issue with the soap. Thought it was just me.
I bought one of these for 100.00$ it operates and sets up very easily. I used to wash my truck and house. Worked very well. Supposedly you have to remove the adjustable tip of the lance to get the detergent to work. I like it for what it is and what it cost me. You do have to reset the electrical every time you use it. Safety feature I guess.
I bought this in Aldi about 2 years ago and it stopped working keeps tripping the gfi plug won’t start at all Called about getting it fixed and can’t do anything with out a receipt which I don’t have since it is two years ago so now stuck with a pressure washer that doesn’t work
If you can’t find the receipt look for a manufactures date on the product. If you find the manufactures date and if that puts it within the warranty. Get in touch with him again and send them a picture of the manufactures date. If they still give you a hard time get a hold of Aldi directly. Hello sidenote did you buy it on a credit card? If so dig through your credit card statements and see if you can find it on there.
Aldi is selling another pressure washer the week of April 10th, 2024, although it’s only 1600 PSI.
Bought the Ferrex at Aldi’s for $50. Did great on my patio and walkway. Wanted to do my garage floor with a floor attachment, so I bought a Karcher universal floor cleaner (another $50). Leaked at the attachment, and the Ferrex wouldn’t power the floor cleaner (not compatible). Now I can’t get the Karcher wand to detach from the Ferrex gun. Have to return the Karcher along with the Ferrex gun, making my Ferrex unusable. Wasted weekend. For $50 I got my patio, house, and walkway clean, but not my garage.
It said 5 year warranty. But where do I register for warranty and parts ?
Hi, Sean. You don’t have to register for warranties for Aldi products. If you have a problem with a product, you simply use the contact information that comes on the warranty sheet. Be sure to save your receipt as well.
I bought the Ferrex Pressure washer and have washed my vehicle 3 times so far with no issues. I asked about the return policy I was told that it’s basically forever. If I ever had an issue, I could return it. It has a 3 year warranty, but I wouldn’t bother with that, I’d just return it. I really like it a lot. I just wish I could find a compatible foam bottle to attach to it.
