Got mine yesterday, what a great piece of kit. I know people will come on here saying all you need is a bucket etc etc but its so well made, quiet, and just powerful enough to clean the bike, but not too powerful to get in the bearings.

A joy to use! I've been looking for other things to clean all day!

Totally agree - fabulous piece of kit. Got mine for £25 from Halfords earlier this year which makes it even more satisfying.

I live in a flat so tried to buy one of these last year but limited supplies was all sold out so bought a different 12v one with a bigger 22lr capacity ( not 14 like a dirtworker) enough for 4 very dirty bikes,

shopped around and only paid £50 new on ebay too + you can drop feed pipe into any bucket or stream if you run out, these are a great tools an often think of how i managed without one .

My experiences are exactly the same as the above.

An awesome bit of kit:
1. I paid £25 from Halfords which makes it a real bargain.
2. I live in a 2nd floor flat and I cannot understand how I made do before.

It was old stock and several members were scouring the stores pestering them with the stock code I posted up. The issue was computer whould say NO but then one would be lying tucked away in stock room or on display. It was all very hit or miss. I love my one too.
