Yili was founded in Shanghai, has a history of more than 30 years, initially started with commercial cleaning machines, and then turned to the household field, at present, the domestic car washing machine market share ranks first, is the most representative Chinese car washing machine brand. In 2018, Yili also proposed a cleaning plan for two landmarks, the Jade Buddha Temple in Shanghai and the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang. Among the domestic car washing machine manufacturers, Yili has the marketing and distribution capabilities of "seeing all the mountains at a glance".
As a domestic brand, Yili did not put too much energy into competing with international veteran manufacturers such as karcher and AR in the high-end market of more than 1,500 yuan, but chose to focus on the market below 1,000 yuan, and finally became the leader in the price range with excellent cost performance. There are many models of Yili's household car washing machines, which can be divided into three levels of 90Bar, 100-110Bar and 120Bar according to the discharge pressure, covering the use scenarios from light to strong cleaning. Within the same power, the differentiation between Yili models is low, often only one or two accessories or a few functional differences, consumers can choose according to their own situation.
The official Chinese name of Q3721 is "light cavalry", and lightness is naturally its characteristic. With a net weight of 4Kg, a power of 1200W and a maximum discharge pressure of 90Bar, the "Hussar" has a passing cleaning capability under its compact size. However, there are not many standard accessories for this model, foam pots, extension pipelines, and self-priming filters need to be purchased additionally, fortunately, the price is not high, and the price of a full set is 450 yuan, which is an ideal choice for consumers with dust and rain stains on the body.
Q4420 is the car wash machine with the largest price span at Yili. The 1000W low-profile version of this model is priced at 360 yuan, and with the rise in power and the number of accessories, the 1300W full-profile version is priced at more than 1000 yuan. Considering that the maximum discharge pressure of the 1000W version is only 75Bar, the comprehensive performance is far less than that of Q3721, we only recommend the Q4420 high-end version of 470 yuan. This version has a pressure of 105 Bar, a maximum flow rate of 390 L/H, and is equipped with two gun barrels, a foam pot and a 10-meter-long water outlet pipe, plus 100 yuan to get a steering gun and brush, which is more convenient for cleaning tires, underbody, roof and other parts. The Q4420 has a wide range of accessories, which is suitable for users with strong hands-on ability and want to clean every corner of the body.
The frequency of car wash is less than once every two weeks, and if the car wash site is far away from the water source and power supply, it is recommended to choose Q5660. With a power of 1800W and a maximum pressure of 140 Bar, this model can easily rinse all kinds of stubborn stains with the standard lotus nozzle and hub brush. Compared with other models with lower positioning in Yili, the Q5660, priced at 930 yuan, is more rigorous in design. The inlet nut is added with 120 mesh industrial gauze, which forms a filtration structure together with the outer metal ring to more effectively filter out large particles of impurities in the water source, and the safety lock equipped on the handle can avoid accidental injury caused by excessive water pressure. Due to the use of induction motors and a total length of nearly 20 meters of pipelines, the gross weight of the car washing machine is close to 16Kg, fortunately, it is equipped with rollers and handrails, and there is a pipe reel in the upper part of the fuselage, which is very convenient for movement and storage.
and Q5660 belong to the same 900 yuan price as YE01. As can be seen from the name, Yili wanted to launch it on the market as a representative innovative model, so it added a vacuum function to the car wash. Although Yili itself also has experience in manufacturing vacuum cleaners, adding the vacuum function to the car washing machine is more of a snake to add, and the actual effect is not too big. Due to the need to control costs, the maximum pressure of this model is compressed to 110 bar, and the number of standard accessories is very small, which is obviously different from the Q5660, so it is not recommended to start.
Some people believe that using a pressure washer on a car body can damage the paint. It is true that the use of high-pressure water guns to spray the car body at close range may cause the paint to peel off, but PressureWasherPower, a foreign professional car washing machine website, pointed out that it is only possible to damage the paint if the vehicle is sprayed at a distance of less than 12 inches (about 30.5cm) using a 2500PSI (about 170 Bar) washing machine. Since the injection pressure of most household car washes in the Chinese market will not exceed 150 Bar, as long as the body is not sprayed at close range, the car wash will not cause the paint to peel off.
