Mainly used to clean a motorcycle – after a ride – he just pulls it out and uses it – no hassle
Not really a ‘pressure’ washer. It is okay for washing the car as I live in a flat and have no access to a hosepipe. It wouldn’t be any good for anything stubborn as the pressure is not enough. Does the job I bought it for. iQuite heavy when full and carried down two flights of stairs.
This is a great piece of kit to aid washing things away from a water source. We are in a water meter so filling with clean rain water was my objective. My main use is for washing my car and find the 1st pressure setting perfect for the brush attachment and then the higher pressure for rinsing off. None of the settings are too abrasive for the paint work. The unit holds all the attachments saving storage. The battery lasts for 2 uses and keeps you up to date with how it’s lasting. It charges up quite quickly as well.
After 2 months of using it, I can say it is quite worth the money. I previously had a Karcher portable OC3 model but it wasn’t as powerful as the Bosch and the capacity was much smaller. Yes the Bosch can be heavy if you fill it in completely but the pressure and the capacity are enough for the small jobs I bought if for : car and bike cleaning, gutter washing and patio cleaning. I use it almost every week.
So far so good then but my only worries is the built quality. The plastic feel cheap and not very well adjusted, but maybe it’s just an impression and this thing will last. I will update my review in a few months time if anything bad happens to it.
One battery (2.5mah) lasts for 5 re fills of 15ltr.
Washed 1 mountain bike (covered in mud) and 2 cars on one battery and 5 refills.
Brought for Mountain Bike to wash before loading into car and will do that perfectly on one fill of tank.
Fantastic.
Generally very pleased. BUT – The hose is very difficult to remove after use. The outlet nozzle is vulnerable to knocks. Being plastic, it could easily be broken especially when the hose is attached
Our water pressure is too low for a power washer attachment. This has solved our problem. Well designed; 15 lt water capacity is adequate for my needs particularly if I use the lower pressures (which are good). A satisfied custome
I think this is a terrific machine. Interestingly, after I received my pressure washer, Amazon reduced the price by 60. I cannot help but feel a little hard done by.
Furthermore, I do wish that someone would tell Amazon that I have received this item if only to make my account look a little neater.
This is not a pressure washer for high pressure cleaning of cars or patios: an 18V battery in a mobile washer can’t be that. However, for small jobs in areas where it is hard or inconvenient to get a hose to it is very useful. I have found it most useful for cleaning bird crap off garden furniture and cars, and washing muck off outside doors and windows. The washer is sufficiently pressurised that with its brush attachment it is easy to clean these, and getting the hose to them would be difficult.
I’ve marked 4 stars for portability because filled with water it is quite heavy which would be fine but when wheeling it over rough areas the cap for the water tank can pop off which needs watching; and 4 stars for value for money because it is more expensive than some comparable products (but I’m reasonably loyal to Bosch and assume it will last).
Very well made and very easy to use. I was a little disappointed with the overall output power. It won’t blast insects off the front of a vehicle. But lots of uses and extremely portable. Great battery life.
Really pleased with this little unit, arrived well packaged. On time. Quite powerful for a battery powered unit. Managed to rinse the while off my car with water to spare and half a battery left too. Don’t understand the negative feedback. Good for what it is. Would buy again.
Great product and does what it says on the tin. The dowside being the cost of the Fontus, its expensive for what it is. The battery although good for three full tanks of water seems to discharge itself so needs charging before use if not used for a week +. Charge time though is very quick.
