As above really, are they any good? don't have access hose pipe so seems like an option.

Don't they only have a 4 litre water tank? thats 2 bottles of coke, won't clean much with that.
To much money for what you get with poor water capacity!

I've used one of these and it seems very good for the job twist head gives you different spray patterns and on its max lance pressure you can have it going in your palm and it just tickles! So should be ok for full sus bearings bottom bracketsetc, and also comes with a long and shorter lance so is pretty good for the car boot. Amazon have a better deal on them if you search.
Also you can get a 20lt water carrier for about £10 off eBay so a bit cheaper as a set up and more versertile

This plus a 20ltr was can and your good to go
I get 4-5 bikes washed with this
I've got one of the cordless Nomads and am happy to report it's a fine piece of kit. Enough pressure to get the clag off, not enough to do bearings any harm.
Yes I have the OC3 and it's one of the best things I've bought. The battery lasts ages so you can refill over and over. If you're smart you can wash the whole bike and your legs/face on one tank but refilling is easy and quick if you want to be more thorough. The spray pattern makes it very efficient for cleaning as it maximises pressure while keeping water use to a minimum.
The OC3 is also TINY compared to what you'd think. Go check one out in Halfords you'll be amazed. The hose packs away neatly in the base too.
Yes it's pricey, but I've yet to see a better solution that doesn't compromise on one of the good things about this device. You can have a bigger water tank if you want a bigger and heavier device (I don't) you can have more power with a shorter run time or bigger device.
Overall I'd recommend one. They also have an add on hose that can draw water from any source which is cool.
Well made pc of kit but flawed by the small tank
I can,t clean more than the wheels on the capacity and stopping to top up is a ball ache .
I live in calderdale and its just not man enough .
Bett than a ahnd pump but nowhere near a mobi v17
The hydroshot is class and well worth a look but god its loud so not ideal at 10 pm after a night ride
Not bring able to run the Karcher off a car 12v socket bugs me.... have to remember to fill it AND charge it
Got the Worx one from Argos at the begining of the season to stick in the camper and its done loads of bikes as well as some sludgy waterproofs and bits of the camper. Had to recharge it once. Bought a camping bucket to stick the hose in and have also used it from the river in Millau. Great bit of kit
@honourablegeorge it's not hard, just plug it in when you get home each time. Modern batteries are ok with being topped up so no issues leaving it connected between uses. The charger cuts off when fully charged too. As for the water, if you can't clean a whole bike with 4 litres in this washer you're doing something really wrong. Did you put the nozzle on the end big bud? Without that I'd agree it's hopeless but with it I've had no issues.
Quite tempted by the Worx one for... well... work use! I was thinking of getting a new petrol pressure washer, but wondering if one of these may just do the job with less hassle.
And I could use it on the bikes 🙂
I was wondering about one but decided the tank looked small. Possibly I was mistaken.
I ended up with a refurbished Aqua2go pro off that eBay. It's been great, it is quite heavy when full but no way round that really with that much water. I can clean the car with it and still have water left over, so maybe the karcher would have been fine...
I placed the order for the Worx's one this morning, should be with me tomorrow - I'll put an update here after the first use!
Until now I used to use one of this arm-pumped yellow things. It was quite good for making the bike wet, but not powerful enough to remove any muck from frame and tyres/wheels. And during yesterday's bike clean the bottom of the tank cracked, resulting with high pressure water splashing all around the car park (my usual bike cleaning place)...
