BikeMaster Parts Washer

I states specifically in manual to use water base solutions and a minimum of 4 gallons. Most of us want to use mineral spirits but for safety concerns I decided to try a water base product. The two possible choices that didn’t break the bank that I found were; wd40 degreaser for 9.99 a gallon or a 5gal container at tractor supply for $43. I chose the WD-40 degreaser because it specifically states it will prevent flash rusting. Because Lowe’s only had three gallons I ordered forth on amazon, before it came I tried unit and it worked great on the three alone. (Not sure how 5gal will even fit, it looks full on 3). I used it so far to final clean cv joints and it breaks grease down well. Unit is built well with drain plug soo if left open fluid can be sealed from evaporation. Size is ideal I think for most people when you consider the sink was otherwise used. The unit closes and latches on a Vw jetta drivers side axle even so your typical smaller parts will work with this nicely. I used bigger units but if space and budget are concerns and you have a taste for quality this is the best option I could find

First off, the unit itself is very solid, and well put together. With that being said you have to use water based cleaning solutions because it is all plastic. I chose simple green crystal for my cleaner. Water based cleaners work better when heated, so i added a GRILLME 1000w heater with temperature controller. I also added a 1/4” 1/4 turn ball valve to limit flow, it tends to splash a bit when the flow is wide open. After those simple mods it cleans everything you want. From motor cycle parts, tools, firearms, you name it with absolute ease. I have about $200 invested in the whole thing with mods. And all it required was a phillips screw driver and a 3/8 drill bit. I did use the parts washer before i made the mods and it still worked very well when using hot tap water. As the water cooled the cleaner became less effective and require more work to clean parts.

The pump broke after five minutes of use. I have tried to get credit from Amazon. I explained to them that I cannot ship it back because it’s had solvent in it cleaner. It’s going to leak out all over the package. I haven’t received no response from Amazon I’ve tried contacting them via chat via email. Terrible customer service. Do not buy this product. It broke after five minutes.

Works good for water based cleaners, which is not an option for me. Filled with mineral spirits. The next day the pumps rubber bushings had swelled up enough to lock up the pump. Replaced the ruber bushings with hard plastic bushings and has worked fine since.

I purchased this parts washer to use in my garage. I like to work on my motorcycles and cars myself and was getting tired of cleaning parts in buckets. The Bikemaster Parts Washer works very well. The construction appears to be very sturdy and the pump operates quietly and smoothly. I have used if for a few hours so far and have been very happy with the results. I especially like that I can close the lid when I'm done and everything is contained. If I have one minor complaint, its that the pump is quite powerful and often times I found that I was splashing cleaning fluid outside of the container. This is more of a user problem than a product issue but I figure that I would mention it. Overall, I think this is a great product and I would definitely recommend it.

Been using it every day for 2 weeks now and it's awesome, specially for the price. I work on motorcycles, mostly dirt bikes, and it does a great job cleaning parts. I use Totally Awesome as my cleaner, can get it just about anywhere. Only complaint is that it is pretty small and I have a hard to me cleaning longer parts such as fork legs and swingarms. For a small garage tho it's amazing !!!

This parts washer was better than expected. I honestly thought it would be a lot smaller. It works great and is made of quality material. The only improvement suggestion I could make is maybe change the carton it's shipped in. Mine arrived with the box kinda messed up. There was no apparent damage but something was loose inside the tank . I unscrewed the access to pump and found a piece had separated from pump assembly. I reconnected loose piece and reassembled. It took a whole 5 minutes. Works great! Thank for the great product!

I liked the unit at first and used it immediately. I filled it with several gallons of Crown PSC 1000 (Petroleum Distillate). The flow from the pump was really fast and splashed all over the place. I had to clamp it to restrict the flow. A week later, after not being used, I tried to fire it up and the pump just hmmmed. Also the oring seal on the inside drain had swollen, unusable. I pulled the pump and tore it apart, it was made very inexpensively. The rubber inside the motor had swollen too causing too much friction on the impeller... it was binding. I ground the rubber down and it was running free again. As for the oring, I ordered a new one (generic part no. 233) and fitted it on the plug. Oring 233 ID 2-7/8", OD 3-1/8" and approx thickness of 1/8" fits well. We will see what needs replaced or upgraded next. I do hope I can keep it running for years to come but feel it is a 5 year piece of equipment. At least it let's me know I can possibly build my own next time I have to replace it.

Good product and it store easy
