SOARFLY 3800W pressure washer review: best budget

The SOARFLY 3800W is our Best Budget pick on one narrow basis: it is the most-rated pressure washer on Shopee PH, with close to 11,000 owner ratings at 4.9, and it costs around ₱1,900 as of August 7, 2026. The spec sheet, though, needs taking apart.

Does the 3800W claim hold up?

No, and the arithmetic is simple enough to do yourself.

At 220V, drawing 3800W means pulling about 17 amps. A standard Philippine household outlet is not wired to deliver that continuously. Every branded machine in this roundup that publishes a real figure sits between 1200W and 2000W, including the ones that hit 150 and 160 bar.

So the number on the box is not a measurement. It is a marketing figure, and once you know that, the rest of the listing has to be read the same way.

No pressure rating is published at all, in bar or PSI. That is the number that actually determines what a pressure washer can clean, and its absence means you cannot compare this machine to anything. No flow rate either, no motor type, no pump construction.

So why is it in this roundup?

Because 11,000 people bought it and rated it 4.9, and pretending that away would be dishonest too.

What that rating tells you is real but limited: buyers at this price are satisfied. It sprays water hard enough to wash a car, it arrives as a complete kit with gun and hose, and for a household that has never owned a pressure washer it is a large upgrade on a hose and a bucket.

What it does not tell you is how it compares with a documented machine. A 4.9 average from buyers who paid around ₱1,900 and expected little is not the same signal as a 4.9 from buyers comparing against 130 bar.

There is also no published warranty and no local service channel. When the pump goes, the machine goes.

Is it sulit?

Around ₱1,900 as of August 7, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee. It is among the cheapest mains-powered washers on the platform.

Washing weekly, that is roughly ₱37 per wash across a year, on a one-year assumption we cannot back with a warranty because none exists.

Here is the honest framing. Spend about ₱1,000 more and the Greenfield Compact 90 Bar gives you a published pressure rating, a self-priming pump and a real brand. That is the upgrade we would push most people toward. This one is for a genuinely tight budget where the alternative is no pressure washer at all.

Who should buy it

Buy this if your budget is firm, you want a big step up from a hose and balde, and you accept that you are buying an undocumented machine with no warranty. It’s the right choice for a first, cheap, disposable washer.

If you can stretch, buy something that publishes a pressure rating.

Alternatives to consider

Able to stretch a little? The Greenfield Compact 90 Bar publishes its pressure, self-primes from a drum, and comes from an established PH brand. Want cordless freedom at an even lower price? The SOARFLY 688VF runs off a bucket, though it is equally undocumented.
