BoschHigh Pressure Washer UniversalAquatak 135 (1900 W, 135 Bar Pressure, 450 l/h Flow Rate, with 3-in-1 Nozzle, Detergent Nozzle, and Carrying Handle in Carton Packaging)

I'm absolutely delighted with this pressure washer. I used it to clean the red bricks around my drive yesterday and they now look brand new. It is easy to use and move around. Storing it is much better than with others I have used as the handle folds down so the machine fits back into its box.

Excellent unit - well designed - compact and folds up easily - Three pressure "settings" which cover most applications - all accessories have a place to store on unit so less chance of losing them.! Easy to dose with detergent (if car cleaning) (uses detergent very quickly..!). Only gripes (small ones!) - storing plug and pressure pipe is not easy, especially if the pressure pipe is cold - not that flexible - both very small issues - not deal breakers.! Great value.

It worked well cleaning a decked porch. However, I ordered the larger of three versions which is indeed very strong and can occasionally damage wood if not carefully used. Nothing too serious really, but one of the smaller versions would supposedly have worked as well.It needs a lot of power and water. It did blow the 10A fuse of the otherwise unused circuit I first put it on (at 1900 Watt it should have stayed slightly below that point). One water hose did not stand the high pressure at the input plug and repeatedly detached within seconds; another one connected fine without problems for the 2 hours I used the machine. Because I needed to use an extension lead to get power form a 20A circuit (make sure you have a lead rated high enough) and water from the other end of the small garden the setup wasn't ideal with cables/hoses in the way most of the time and a certain risk of water reaching the extension lead plug. Everything worked out in the end with good results, but it was more tricky than expected.It's a high quality device and if proper supply points are available and the power it provides is needed, it's certainly worth the money.

Really good and multiple heads gives options to blast quickly or use the narrow head for mire stubborn stains.Easy to assemble , light to manoeuvre.

Great machine with good cleaning power the pressure is very good as well and very compact and not too heavy.

I had my last Bosch pressure cleaner for about 20 years . This new one is so much lighter in weight works just as well so I hope it will last as long. Very pleased with price and ease of use.

I rarely write reviews but this one deserves one:Once you get the machine running, it does the job well. However, I noticed that the machine started making a strange noise as if something was faulty. On top of that it started smelling burnt/as if something was melting which cannot be a good sign. I've used many high pressure washers before and know how they work. Also, the machine, whenever you want to store it, keeps leaking everywhere.I would not recommend this item. Almost all of my home appliances are BOSCH items and this one has been a huge disappointment

Having had cheaper pressure washers before and them not lasting long (motors packing up, lances leaking which cost as much or more to replace than buying a new unit), I thought I would go with a more well known brand. After having a bad experience with Karcher I was looking at Bosch or Nilfisk. This one was on offer from Amazon (half price) so I plumped for it. Bargain.The unit comes with a 3 in 1 head which gives you a pencil jet (thin & powerful), Rotating jet which is like the pencil but it moves around in a circular motion and the standard fan (this is the least powerful to be gentler on items like your car). This head is extremely handy as you have no changing of heads for the different types, you just twist the end into the selected jet position.You also get a detergent dispensing bottle/jet - the jet on this is of a fan type as well. I used this attachment with some Autoglym polar blast pre-wash snow foam and it foamed pretty good. The bottle in my opinion is rather small and is used up in the space of a minutes use. There is no control to make the mixing faster or slower which would have been nice. Over all I was happy with the performance though, the bottle lasted (just) to cover my 4x4 in foam.The power cords is about 5m in length, the wand hose is 7m in length which is decent for a pressure washer. The lance is in 3 parts which store in clips on either site. They fit together by a push and twist connection. I found the 3 in 1 head quite stiff to push on but it does go and I suppose it is more likely to prevent leaks than if it was a little more loose.One part I am not a big fan of is the connectors for the pressure hose. They are push fit which is fair enough but when you have finished using the washer you have a tab that you need to push to the side to release the connection. If there is any water pressure at all in the pipe then these tabs are extremely hard to push to release the connection. I had to use something to lever the tab to release the pipe connector. Next time I will make sure that I empty as much of the air/water from the pipe before trying to disconnect the pipe!One feature that may be of use to some is the 'self priming' facility. To use this you need to buy the self priming kit, it does not come with this as standard. It allows you to use non mains water supplies like a water butt, bucket etc to supply the water. The kit is essentially a pipe with a filter & back flow suppressor that you connect to the machine and submerge the other end into your water source. I doubt I would ever need/use this but you never know and I can see the usefulness for some situations where a mains tap is not available.It also actually compacts down quite small. The handle moves down (like a lot of washers) but it also folds back so the total height is the height of the main body.A word of advice: Bosch have two fitting types for their accessories and buying them is a minefield. There are 'AQT' fittings and 'Aquatek'. Although this is an Aquatek model do not get Aquatek accessories. This washer takes the newer AQT type fittings (they are the same as Black & Decker pressure washer connections). I bought a show foam gun from a local shop so I was able to take my lance in to check the fitting. The Aquatek will not engage fully as there is a collar stopping the accessory going all the way in. The Black & Decker/AQT fitting worked perfectly.If you register on the Bosch website within 28 days you also receive a full 3 year Bosch guarantee.The downsides I see are small overall which is why I gave it 5 stars and recommended.
