The Best Parts Washers (Review and Buying Guide) in 2020

First in our selection of hand-picked products is OEMTOOLS’ 20 Gallon Mobile Parts Washer. This bright-green beauty will stand out in any cluttered garage or workplace and won’t lose its color anytime soon due to its durable powder-coated steel construction. The washboard is four and a half inches deep, and after purchasing this product you’ll never have to mop up spillages again.

Manufacturers have thought of everything, including a fusible link to reduce fire hazards and a removable drain pan to ensure the transportation of liquid is simple and results in fewer spillages. And although DIYers and workers alike may believe that such a bulky product would be impossible to transport anywhere, the four-inch indestructible casters will see to that. If you’re want to give your car the makeover it deserves, OEMTOOLS’ Parts Washer paves the pathway to success.

Oriflo’s Flow-Thru Parts Washer Brush is a product other manufacturers fear because it’s so darn good. The company claims that its brush was the original flow-thru parts cleaning brush on the automotive market — brought out in the 1980s by the Parts Brush Division of Paint Brush Corporation. This means that the last 40 years have been spent perfecting its already impeccable design.

One way in which Oriflo improved its model is by designing its brushes with Trialoy — a superior filament that withstands corrosion after using petroleum and water-based cleaning solvents. Even the tube is incredibly sturdy due to the nitrile rubber’s resistance to petroleum solvents. And with the extra perk of a bullet-shaped tip on the hose, it’s hard not to give in to temptation and splash the cash.

Although the three separate levels may look intimidating, Goplus’ product promises that it won’t bite. Manufactured from high-strength carbon steel with a red powder-coat finish, you can count on the long-lasting durability of this model. Its 20-gallon water capacity implies that this model is designed to wash medium to larger sized parts. And with a high flow pump rate of 5.28 gallons per minute, the grime will run right off.

What’s more, Goplus designed its product with safety at its heart. As well as the lid closing automatically in the case of a fire thanks to the fusible link, a considered switch water shield also shows that this model has been made with safety in mind. And to protect against injured backs, the four swivel casters allow the parts washer to be wheeled to wherever you need it.

This compact-steel cabinet is ideal for cleaning the delicate car parts we always end up neglecting for the frame itself.

Able to hold a respectable 3.5 gallons of liquid, Torin’s product is deep-seated as well as portable. Yet what buyers love the most is the pump: exuding a generous 110 volts, this feature recycles at 1/2 gallon per minute. Likewise, you can vouch that Torin’s model will be kicking around your garage for years to come since it’s UL and CSA approved. All in all, the Torin way of life is affordable and adaptable.

We reckon you could dose the kit in corrosive properties and it still wouldn’t deteriorate (don’t try this at home folks). So, if your family is nagging you for smelling out the whole house when cleaning your bike parts in the sink, it’s a perfect and affordable solution to your problems.

The JEGS bright yellow parts washer makes you happy just by looking at it. We’re not sure if this has got something to do with its bright powder-coated yellow construction or the fact that it’s as durable as a product gets. This is thanks to its welded steel construction and resistance to water-based degreasers, which keep JEGS’s model looking fresh.

What’s more, this product has the capacity to hold 20 gallons of liquid and 12 gallons of solvent, so it can successfully wash larger products without any hassle. And it can do so very well with a max pump output of 2.64 to 3.17 gallons per minute. If you want to give your car a makeover then buying this parts washer is the way to go.    

Little Giant’s Submersible Parts Washer Pump is an innovative product created to facilitate cleanliness. It does so by releasing a strong output to flush away harmful solvent properties. With a whopping 1/40 of horsepower while releasing 300 gallons per hour, it will completely shatter all expectations while putting all old submersible washer pumps to shame. Likewise, its user’s safety expectations are met through the six-inch plug-less power cord that’s extremely practical and reliable to use.

Users speak about how the filtered fluid passing through the oil filter always comes out the flexible nozzle squeaky clean.  That’s why we’re not at all surprised that Little Giant’s sought-after design is warranted against defective materials and workmanship for a whole year after purchase — the company is well aware of just how desirable its product is.

Additionally, its removable work shelf never fails to impress users by allowing them to wash larger vehicle parts without any hassle. Plus, it ensures that cleaning the part cleaner itself couldn’t be easier.

The unit is completely UL approved, which is not a surprise given the implemented fusible link that greatly reduces fire hazards. Yet what we find most compelling about this model is the magnetic pump that can be attached wherever its user sees fit. Available at a great price, it’s yours for the taking.

We’ve decided to go out with a bang and save Black Bull’s Parts Washer for last. This product has been created specifically for DIYers who are on the move and need a parts washer that will fit into their busy lifestyle. Although this five-gallon parts washer only has room for a 3.5-gallon solvent capacity, it features a sprightly pump that is able to output up to a whopping 210 gallons per hour with a 22 gallons per hour flow rate.
