After the demise of our outside tap that isn't going to be fixed any time soon, considering one of these. DW are £90 at Rutland Cycles (who seem to be the only stockist I could find), Nomad's quite a bit more even for the 12v ones.
Probably wouldn't bother with a battery one, so direct comparison between the two.
Any experience/recommendation? Thanks.
Had a Dirtworker and a Mobi, would go for the DW of those two (has lasted longer already and just feels nicer)
I could be wrong here, but aren't DW now owned by/part of Nomad?
(I've a DW by the way, and think it's great, but haven't used a Nomad so can't offer a comparison sorry)
Just to balance previous post, we had a Dirtworker, now on a Mobi, seems better so far..
Ron, this may explain why googling dirt worker (with safesearch on!) gets you to the nomad site. Not looked at Mobi, will now. Ta.
i got a little mobi washer from merlin, was well cheap, think they're still on offer.
Wiggle are doing them for £80. Looks a good deal and for a tenner you can get a mains attachment. Looks like the cheapest option, think I'll go for that, UK company as well... Ta.
Mobi is £76.45 from merlin at the mo
None in stock at merlin
Found one @ £79.99 inc postage from my LBS: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Mobi-V15-Mobile-Pressure-Washer-/270686031029?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3f06250cb5
i had a pressure washer and the hose connectors kept breaking (even the warranty one) was green , cant remember the make 🙁
Got a dirt woker when they were really cheap at halfords 25 quid or something two years ago still works great!
I have the v17 mobi washer, which is great but i had the same problem as jedi, the hose connector broke after a couple of weeks, i think it was due to the fact the excess water still inside the hose was frozen during the really cold spell...ordered a couple of extra ones but the washer itself is great 🙂
Why buy a bike spercific one that will cost more than a jetwash at B&Q
I'm getting one of these....

Going to rig up my own hose and gun, only need a 25lt container or bucket.
I debated both but ended up getting a hand pump pressure sprayer from a garden centre, for less than a tenner, works fine.

Because bike specific one wont destroy your bearing! simples.

Tried it and binned it 🙁 mobi washer just has the right amount of pressure to clean the bike and not do any damage to bearings//seals etc 😉 the v17 is cheaper now than what it was when I bought it

Those pump-in-a-bucket things are fine for home use but for carrying in the car a DW is much better as it holds it's own water . I carry another 20 litres in a jerry can too, so 35L total, can do many bikes.
+1. I just want an easy solution for cleaning the bikes. Without the hose, sorting mine and the two kids bikes was a proper PITA after a muddy ride. Bought one from Wiggle with a voucher so £75.
I shall also be using it on my mud-loving Labrador. At low pressure obviously!
