really? They're good enough to wash bikes?!

I like my original Dirtworker (aka Nomad), but a m8 has a mobi one, not a lot between them, though Nomad/Dirtworker backup support is very good.
As in my DW is several years old, the nozzle broke, they happily supplied a new type that fit my 'old' system. That the kind of support I want from a company, also you get lot of ppl saying they got spares FOC, which is nice.

I just got one of these........

I've had my Dirtworker for at least 2 years now & it's still working fine.

I have seen plenty of praise for the customer service, but haven't had cause to use it.

For me, I don't need a battery powered version so struggle to see the point. If I want to use it in the back garden or for rinsing the car off while washing it, then I use an extension lead & the 12v power supply for my camping fridge.

Yes, spot on..

I bought one of these on Goog's reccomendation... seems spot on IMHO...Fill it with Hot water, and away you go..

Sorted.

Teetosugars/goog - is the pressure adequate - on dry mud?

If you use a decent cleaning product it should be 😉

Mobiwasher here - good bit of kit.
Those garden squirters don't shift the crap i ride in!

about £40 total and 25L, now has a std cig plug fitted.

Merlin are doing V15s for £80 including a muc-off twinpack, which isn't an amazing deal but it's about as good as I could find for a new self-contained 12V power washer

Big Bloke; How have you found that Laser unit? I was just looking at one of them.

I've had Mobi and then Dirtworker. DW is the better of the two (still going, Mobi isn't)

Karcher sell cheap pressure washers in Australia.
Im sure you would be able to find them where you live.
I use one to clean my mountain bike, works a treat. I can even use it to clean my car.

I have a brand new Dirtworker still in its box if anyone is interested?

Quickly yep there available cheap over here but you don't usually get power/water tap available outside a shared property do you (well definitely not @ my old flat), hense the request for a 'portable' unit. Also IIRC Karcher (now?) use plastic parts in their pumps which don't have a great life expectancy

i had one, it was awful. Replaced with a dirtworker.

I'd go for a dirtworker as well. I did have another one before, can't rmember its make, but the connections were very poor and would come off in use. Also don't take too much notice of the rated pressures, something similar to paper 'lumens' and 'actual' lumens. In life the two washers I've had were very similar in power, although there should have been a difference between them if I looked at the quoted paper pressures.

I use a garden spray. Wet the bike, run a brush over it, rinse clean. It won't spray the mud off as well as a powered one but use a brush as well and its fine

Same circumstances. Mobi washer v17 here. Works fine but the battery and charger have packed up so I am just on car adapter. Its ok but a bit of a pain. They sent me a new charger but that just blew as well so guess something internal is dead. CBA. I am thinking of this

I found them brilliant on trail centres for washing me, camelbak and bike and gear down. Expensive I know but with the amount I ride essential.
