Anyone used or seen this.... Love the look of it, curious to know if anyone has one (I've seen other models but never this karcher one)

That was my initial thought, however if the power is right it may be enough to get the worst of the much off.

A mate has a home made 20ltr one that will use all the water doing one bike (because of the flow) yet my mate has a 17ltr that will do loads of washes as the flow is alot less.

I'd rather have one of these.

I see your point regarding flow vs pressure (a pressure washer uses a lot less water than a hose), but a) more pressure is worse for seals and b) any less flow than a normal 17l mobi/other and you will be there for hours.

It might work OK with a second 5l water bottle on standby to refill.

My Nomad is 14 litres I think - usually OK for a couple of bikes unless it's really claggy.

Could probably get away with 5 litres for a single bike if you don't mind giving it a brush off first.
