Our in-house experts at the GHI assessed the pressure washers' performance on common outdoor cleaning tasks, using their high-power jet sprays to take on muddy patios, windows and cars. The testers noted how easy the pressure washer was to set up, use, manoeuvre and, of course, the time it took to get the job done. This is a lightweight, compact tool, and while it is perfect for smaller jobs (especially in larger gardens), it won't quite hit the mark if you need a heavy duty pressure washer for big patio cleaning jobs, for example. If you already own Worx products, you'll be happy to know that this tool is part of the Worx PowerShare system, so that you can use the battery across other garden tools. Our reviewer and garden expert Rhoda Parry found that the battery lasted for around 30 minutes of pressure washing, which is plenty enough for smaller jobs.

For both makes it doesn’t matter if you have an entry-level model or the most expensive in the range, the general build and quality of parts reminds the same from what we can tell.

Getting a grip on exactly what you want from your new pressure washer can be challenging, especially if this is the first time you'll be using one.

Hopefully by the end of this review you will have a better idea which model can best suit you own set of requirements and needs.Hello once again and welcome to this Bosch Pressure Washer Review which will cover 3 separate models as part of a brief compilation review so at least you have more than just one choice when it comes to making a final decision. Compilation If you're considering buying a pressure washer, but you're not sure you would get the return on investment that you need, then the short answer is that you can use your washer all across your outdoor space to great effect. Whichever model you look at, the specification is close and similar. When it comes to value the Bosch pressure washers do have a little bit more, either they are slightly higher in pressure compared to the similar Karcher model, or they also tend to have a longer hose or an extra attachment thrown in too. Karcher models such as the K4, K5 and K7 all have a well built and designed water-cooled motor, which the Bosch models do not. They also now have a LED trigger gun in their ‘Full Control’ range which is new for 2016.

Includes the innovative 3-in-1 nozzle with fan, rotary and pencil jet to ensure better cleaning output. Cleaning power is quite low so it will take a lot more time to get jobs done when compared to more expensive and more powerful models – if you are always in a rush and need jobs done exceptionally fast, then you should start looking elsewhere. When registered, Bosch offers a 5-day repair service where they will collect, repair and service your pressure washer and return it to you within 5 working days – now that’s a great service (but location dependant)

If you have a larger budget or are looking for something more powerful than the entry models then the new full control Karcher pressure washers are certainly worth considering. They are not cheap but good all-rounders. Useful articles Includes a superior range of accessories to work with such as the pressure adjustable lance and the dirt-blaster lance. The first thing you need to consider when investing in a pressure washer is which area or outdoor items you’re looking to clean. This will determine how much pressure – measured in bars – you need your washer to have.

Seriously lightweight coming in a just 3kg which makes it one of the lightest pressure washers available to work with. Look out for a pressure washer that provides both good pressure and a high water flow rate,' says Paul. It’s easy to get high pressure (like when you put your finger over the end of a hosepipe) but pressure and water flow together give the best cleaning effect.' For fences, dirty cars and cleaning grime off paving slabs, look for a model with 120 bars of pressure. Anything above this is best reserved for complete garden overhauls and other industrial outdoor tasks. Flow rate That’s where power washers come in. These efficient machines make light work of a deep clean, whether you’re sprucing up your patio and grill for BBQ season, giving your bike a much-needed wash after your latest cycling adventure, or giving your car a shiny new facelift. A short comparison table for the 3 different models is also outlined below which may also be of interest to you to help give you a better understanding FeatureDepending on the model a Bosch pressure washer is generally better than the equivalent Karcher model. Linda is a freelance interiors journalist specialising in interior design and home and garden tech. She is a serial renovator, currently on her fourth project, and has tested many home appliances, DIY tools, garden equipment and mattresses in the last 20+ years. The one test the STIHL RE 120 Pressure Washer fell down on was cleaning Linda's dark coloured car, with some smear marks being left over. This aside, the STIHL RE 120 Pressure Washer proved itself to be an unmissable pressure washer if you've got a long list of outdoor jobs to get on with, and a bigger budget. This versatile, compact pressure washer is not only budget-friendly, but also a total all-rounder. Ideal Home's Editor Heather Young has been testing the Karcher K2 out for some time now, saying that while it's 'small and compact, it doesn't compromise on power.' Unlike your standard garden hose, pressure washers deliver serious power. They use a strong, concentrated jet of water to obliterate dirt in no time.

The window and patio cleaning tests factored in whether the pressure washer left an attractive streak-free appearance, and during muddy car washing, they paid particular attention to whether the pressure washer was able to access all the nooks and crannies, including wheel arches and the underside of the car. Basic machines come with one lance – a long tube with a nozzle at the end. A fixed lance can’t be adjusted, though you can move it nearer or further away from the area you’re trying to clean. You can also buy models with a variable pressure lance, where you can twist the nozzle at the end to alter the power of the spray – rather like a hosepipe attachment. This lets you create either a powerful narrow jet of water or a gentler, broad spray. An outline of the accessories which are included for each are summarised again below: Bosch EasyAquatak 100 Pressure Washer 1200W Accessories Pet owners can also trust the K2 to help them get rid of pesky muddy paw prints across the garden, as well as for smartening up their car or garden furniture. For portability, look no further than the built-in wheels, five-metre cable and extendable handle. Read our full Stihl RE 120 PLUS Pressure Washer review for more information.
