Product Information

Basic machines come with one lance – a long tube with a nozzle at the end. A fixed lance can’t be adjusted, though you can move it nearer or further away from the area you’re trying to clean. You can also buy models with a variable pressure lance, where you can twist the nozzle at the end to alter the power of the spray – rather like a hosepipe attachment. This lets you create either a powerful narrow jet of water or a gentler, broad spray. When buying a pressure washer no matter what the budget you want something that is well built, reliable and that will last. For both makes it doesn’t matter if you have an entry-level model or the most expensive in the range, the general build and quality of parts reminds the same from what we can tell. So in terms of price, the more expensive doesn’t mean better quality and longer-lasting pressure washer in parts. For fences, dirty cars and cleaning grime off paving slabs, look for a model with 120 bars of pressure. Anything above this is best reserved for complete garden overhauls and other industrial outdoor tasks. Flow rate Thanks to their concentrated water jets, pressure washers will save you valuable hours on the most heavy-duty tasks, as well as being incredibly satisfying to use on dirt and grime. Whichever model you look at, the specification is close and similar. When it comes to value the Bosch pressure washers do have a little bit more, either they are slightly higher in pressure compared to the similar Karcher model, or they also tend to have a longer hose or an extra attachment thrown in too. Karcher models such as the K4, K5 and K7 all have a well built and designed water-cooled motor, which the Bosch models do not. They also now have a LED trigger gun in their ‘Full Control’ range which is new for 2016.

If you’ve ever tried to take on a muddy patio with just a brush and some elbow grease, you’ll know that some garden jobs just need a little extra investment.Which model from which brand you go for depends on several things when it comes to making your choice:

Both companies include 2-3 year warranty on their pressure washers and with Karcher premium models the warranty included can be up to 5 years which is worth the extra investment.
