Product Information

While budget brands are more likely to fit this price-tag, some mid-range manufacturers also offer a basic model: A lot more expensive than the Easy Aquatak 100 and the hose is 1m shorter than the 3rd model outlined below Once you've assembled the Bosch Universal Aquatak 135 pressure washer, you need to make sure that it's on level ground to ensure that it works correctly. Placing it on a paved area such as your patio, rather than on the lawn at the edge of the patio is the best option. When registered, Bosch offers a 5-day repair service where they will collect, repair and service your pressure washer and return it to you within 5 working days – now that’s a great service (but location dependant) Handling. Looked at comfort, weight, balance and grip, including features like a safety button, the runtime, and noise.

We tested a range of pressure washers and pressure cleaners, putting them through their paces on a range of surfaces. They were assessed according to the following criteria with equal marks attributed to each: Finally, consider how water will drain away when you’re working and remember not to use a pressure washer in freezing temperatures. This review will cover the Bosch 1200W EasyAquatak 100 Pressure Washer, the Bosch Universal Aquatak 135 Compact Press Washer and also the Bosch 2100W AQT 4514 Pressure Washer and we will go through the main features that they have to offer plus the pros and also the cons associated for each. Hopefully by the end of this review you will have a better idea which model can best suit you own set of requirements and needs. However, there are many differences between Karcher and Bosch pressure washers. Below, you’ll learn more about these differences so you can find the right pressure washer for you. Differences Between Karcher and Bosch Pressure Washers Motor Power The compact design of the pressure washer means it fits neatly into a corner of our garden shed and it doesn't take up much space. Handy when the shed feels like its bursting at the seams with garden tools, garden furniture cushions, the best pizza oven and a mass of children's garden toys.The handle folds down so it takes up less room and there’s also on-board storage for the power cable, lance and sprayer so it's easy to store everything together in one spot.Includes a superior range of accessories to work with such as the pressure adjustable lance and the dirt-blaster lance. In our video guide, we outline all of the above points and demonstrate how to use a pressure washer on both vulnerable, easily damaged surfaces and larger areas, such as paths and patios.

As both pressure washers offer similar performance here is how we would decide between the two models: It easily washed any of the mud splatter off the surfaces, and I was careful not to aim the jet at any of the window or door seals in case it caused any water ingress. The Bosch also has a longer hose at 8 metres, the K4’s is 6 metre and you would have to step up to the more expensive K5 to get an 8m hose in the Karcher range. If you have larger areas to cover then the Bosch might be more suitable.

The LCD display might seem like a minor perk, but it can make a huge difference. The display ensures that you’ve got the right amount of power and detergent at all times. It really removes the guesswork from the equation. Weight When it comes to motor power, generally this increases with how much you spend any move up the model range (it will also give you more pressure and water flow). Karcher and Bosch motor power outputs are generally the same for each comparable model, although Bosch tries to get ahead by providing an extra 0.1kW, not that you’ll notice this. I'll be upfront here and say that our patio has certainly seen better days! It's on the list to be replaced when we extend our house in the coming months, so the pavers are quite old and we haven't been the best at keeping on top of cleaning them. The paving is a chequerboard design of alternating red and yellow-toned slabs so having them covered with a slight layer of dirt actually helps to mask this awful colour combination! In the past we've used the good old-fashioned method of scrubbing the patio with a broom and water to give it a refresh after winter. The Karcher K4 has a ‘Full Control” trigger spray but this only shows you what you have adjusted the lance setting to (you probably know as you have just done it). The Bosch has a simpler “3-in-1” trigger that adjusts between fan, rotary and pencil spray. Both pressure washers pretty much do the same thing but we think the lance set-up on the Karcher is a neater solution.
