18V Cordless High Pressure Washer, 6 to 23 Bar, 120L/h

This is a washer for where there is no tap and no socket. It draws from a bucket, a jerrican, a drum or a tank, runs off an 18V battery, and cleans a motorbike, a boda, a bicycle, garden tools, a dusty windscreen, muddy boots or a dog. On a shamba, at a gate, on a site or at the back of a vehicle, it does the job a mains washer cannot reach.

Be clear about what 23 bar means. A mains machine works at 100 bar or more, and this one runs between 6 and 23 bar at 120 litres an hour, so it is a strong rinse rather than a stripping jet. That is exactly right for its jobs. It shifts mud, dust and loose dirt without blasting grease out of a chain, water past a seal or paint off a panel. The nozzle rotates through 360 degrees for awkward angles, and there are high and low pressure modes plus a soap bottle for washing rather than only rinsing. At 1.4kg it is carried in one hand with the hose in a bucket.
