Product Information

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 Which model from which brand you go for depends on several things when it comes to making your choice: 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.

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 Feature Longer hose of 8m is available – the longest available in this review and a higher flow rate of 450 litres per hour.

How we tested these pressure washersIf 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 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.' 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)

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 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. Depending on the model a Bosch pressure washer is generally better than the equivalent Karcher model. She's one of Ideal Home's expert reviewers, and tested the Stihl RE 120 PLUS Pressure Washer at her home in Devon to give us her verdict on whether it's a star buy. FAQs How do I choose a pressure washer for my home? A lot more expensive than the Easy Aquatak 100 and the hose is 1m shorter than the 3rd model outlined belowIncludes the innovative 3-in-1 nozzle with fan, rotary and pencil jet to ensure better cleaning output. 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. Unlike your standard garden hose, pressure washers deliver serious power. They use a strong, concentrated jet of water to obliterate dirt in no time.

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. 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.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. 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. In the UK Karcher is one of the leading brands when it comes to electric pressure washers, however, next to them you will also find models from other brands such as Bosch and Nilfisk. We have a massive model number database, so you can rest assured that each and every one of our Bosch Pressure Washer Spare Parts are compatible with your Bosch appliance. All our Bosch Pressure Washer Spare Parts are also competitively priced and never compromise on quality. 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. Broadly, you need to be thinking about what kind of surface you'll be using it on, how regularly it needs cleaning, and how dirty the area is, to begin with.
