    I assume there’s no issues using a waterbutt as the water source for this?

    Nope, you can use anything. The hose comes with a filter attached.

    How powerful are these?  Would they clear heavy clag and mud from a motocross bike?

    ^^ yeah, they are ‘almost’ as powerful as a jet wash…

    I’m SO impressed with mine. This bundle has the foam sprayer too, so real easy to wash the car with it.

    Ge the 1 hour charger. The main charger that was bundled with mine takes about 4/5 hours.

    Would probably work on fresh mud. It’s not so good on old dried on dirt, the main draw is the portability.

    I got one a couple of months ago. Battery lasts just over 2 standard buckets, but the battery takes an age to charge with the standard charger.

    It’s really decent though and the foamer you get works ace with bike cleaner  in it!

    Brilliant bit of kit.

    It comes with a small battery and a slow charger.  I reckon a generic 3AH  (Creebeast on ebay) battery is a better investment than the fast charger

    That could be handy. Ta.

    You still need to charge it and will take yonks won’t it?

    I’d have both.

    The one i bought a year ago has teh battery with the LED indicator, and lasts EASILY 25 litres… easily….

    But, i also have a few other Worx bits with 2 fast chargers and 3 batteries, so all is good!!

    Had this on my wishlist for a while thinking my current Mobi washer wouldn’t last*, but it’s still going strong…

    Aso they really are good then?

    No comparison to those Mobi things of which I’ve owned 2 or 3.

    I’m into my second winter with the Hydroshot.

    I’m assuming they’re clearing out the old 20v versions. Is the 40v one available yet?

    Been using the 20v one for a while now and it’s great. I could wash three manky bikes at least out of a single battery charge. The ability to throw the hose into any water source is brilliant. Many a river used to clean off post ride. Power is great. A lot better than the self contained units I’ve owned in the past

    are they any good at power washing the patio and driveway?  I have a couple of WORX battery powered tools but I am not sure on the true power of the hydroshot.

    If you already have the batteries, the body-only is £62 on Amazon.. plus 9% Quidco cashback (Black Friday items).

    No, they’re ideal for bikewashing as they’re more powerful and effective than a hose (whilst using less water) but not so powerful they’ll rip off the paint or blow the grease out of your bearings.

    For you patio you want a cheap mains powered one

    Got a mobi v17 and a hydroshot

    The hydroshot will do two 25 lite drums for me before recharging and that’s plenty

    It’s more powerful but not too powerful for bikes which is a good thing .register it and you get 3 years warranty

    Massive downside is I can’t use it after night rides as the noise at 11pm after a ride isn’t ideal its very noisy compared to the mobi so I use that for the car for night rides and use the hydrodhot for home use .

    The mobi is less hassle
