Amazon shoppers 'washing car more' with Bosch pressure washer now £104 less
It's officially the time of year to start cleaning up the garden ahead of summer gatherings and barbecues. One way to give your garden a glow up is to invest in a multipurpose pressure washer. And right now, Bosch's Cordless Outdoor Pressure Washer Fontus has had its price cut by a whopping 37 per cent on Amazon, slashing over £100 off its RRP. The 18v gadget allows easy, portable and versatile pressure washing, and is now just £179.99, cut from its original price of £284. This cordless washer is both small and flexible, with an in-built water tank, as well as functionality to tap into mains water for uninterrupted usage. Its extendable handle, sturdy wheels, and accessory storage make for an incredible investment. Its performance and accessories mean it could be a great buy for those who might want to take the Bosch Pressure Washer to events or jobs outside their property, as well as the deep end of the garden to water neglected plants, reports The Express. And its portability also makes this particular washer perfect for lending to a friend or neighbour in need. Bosch has become a reliable and trustworthy brand name over the past few years. While some may know the brand for coffee machines, hobs, or ovens, this pressure washer has hugely impressed its buyers. However, people browsing alternative pressure washers might opt for B&Q's Karcher range, getting a cheaper, corded pressure washer in the process, for as little as £69. Argos also currently has a Spear & Jackson Pressure Washer with Smart Control on sale right now. The Argos product was originally £200, and is now a more reasonable £133.34. It boasts a digital smart control trigger gun, transportation handle and wheels, as well as a power control gun. On top of that, it has a flow rate of 450 litres per hour. But shoppers are ecstatic about the Bosch model, which has a 4.1 rating but is only at its discounted rate for a limited time. One recent shopper called the portable pressure washer 'fantastic'. They said: "It's more than capable and so easy to use. Love the on board water tank." Someone else said: "A stronger jet wash action than version 1 and they seem to have improved the battery hatch as it seems to shut with an improved clunk! Ideal for washing motorcycles and cars. Easy to use if you have no tap near where you park." But a less impressed shopper said: "I'm really surprised. I have had several of Bosch's different tools for many years and have always been very satisfied. I ordered this with the same expectations of quality. "But when I first got it, the hose was leaking, and the spool handle opened too easily. I returned it and got a new one. Now the bracket was broken on one of the accessories (the brush) that you get with it." However, another Amazon shopper pointed out how easy the pressure washer has made their life now and gave the product a full five-star rating. They said: "The reason I bought this is that car washing at my house without a hose at the front of the house (where the car sits on the driveway) was really inconvenient. I'm washing my car more often now." The Bosch's Cordless Outdoor Pressure Washer Fontus Bosch can be bought at its discounted rate HERE.
