Is that compared to the brushless or the original one?

The original, non-brushless (brushful?) one.

I have the standard hydroshot. For washing the car it's pretty crap, garden hose sprays more water. it's nothing like a mains operated machine. For the bike, I don't think I'd want much more pressure to be honest.

It's now September and it's expired.

edit - sorry, didn't realise it was past midnight, I guess it was valid yesterday when you posted it, despite it being well into September.

CRC are refunding me on the Mobi, which is good. It also gave me the chance to take it apart and try to repair it. First was the hose between the pump and tank... Nope... then the connection between both.... Nope. I then noticed there's no rubber washer between the body/tank and the tap to the pump.... Nope... I then got my hand in the tank/body and removed the connector which is a little hose and a filter to the pump, i noticed when removing it that the o-ring there was split... So i've thrown a new o-ring on the inside too and i think that's solved it. It's been filled and hasn't leaked for the last hour... So i think that's a win. It doubt the Mobi will last forever though, they seem fairly flakey.. If i get 6 months out of it i'll call it a win.

I use the hydroshot with an adapter and DeWalt batteries,

Just had one of the new brushless v2.0 delivered intending to use it with a Makita battery but it's got a cage around the battery area, presumably to stop you doing exactly that. Any ideas?

It's to waterproof the battery, ipx5 rated.

Anyone tried one of the new brushless ones? Any good for the car\patio?  Don't really want to buy their batteries or a corded one.

Don't think I can remove the cover without compromising the battery fitment or cutting it up.

The old brushless one is decent for car washing, it's obviously not got the power of a mains jet wash though.

That new Nitro version has the same flow rate (220lpa) but 38 bar rated/56 bar max pressure Vs 22 bar rated/25 bar max of the standard brushless.

A proper pressure washer will be 100, 150, 180 bar max pressure, so the more pressure the better.
