Is it for bikes? If so get the cheapest one you can find - its pressure will be lower which will stop you trashing your bearings and forks, but it'll still clean a tread.

I have a tiny Bosch one

Works perfectly well and looks like a little truck. Ace.

How about for £10?

[EDIT: just read that it's not for bikes, you'll probably want something more powerful then]

I've used one of these for ages and it does the job fine.

I've tried a plant sprayer for cleaning bikes.

Anyone want a free plant sprayer?

Rinse + Fenwicks + light brush + Rinse = clean bike.

I do like those DirtWorker things, but not worth the money IMO. It's only cleaning a bike, not that difficult to be honest.

Not difficult, but a ball-ache, and anything that makes it easier is a good thing in my book.

I gave up on the plant sprayer and bought a dirt worker at a Mountain Mayhem. Trying to clean lbs of clag with a tiny little squirt was pretty comical.

I use the pressure washer at home though. 5 mins, bam, job done. No chemicals required.

I've got a [url= http://www.nomad-direct.co.uk/index.php ]Nomad[/url] but bought before it was as expensive as it is now.

Had a problem with the charger and after an email a new one was sent next day. Great quality and a tank will wash the bike 4 times. Battery lasts for 3 tanks.

Expensive but very good quality and does a fine job.
I thought I bought mine for £150 ish but it's £189 now and I might think twice before getting one.

Most of the country is experiencing serious water shortages do you really NEED that clean a patio, will a stiff brush and a bucket not do?

These things do go through water at quite a rate.
