Bosch Home and Garden 06008A7971 EasyAquatak 120 High-Pressure Washer, 1500 W, 1500 V, Green

So, bear with me on this one..... My 31 year old son finally left home last November (20) and took his Karcher with him. My wife had been wondering what to buy me for Xmas, so when I mentioned it, she said why don't you buy one and I'll give it to you. I looked at the Karchers, but they're pricey so having looked at what was on offer, I bought the Bosch. The 120 was on offer at less than the 110 and as I've had a lot of success with Bosch stuff in the past, I went for that one. I didn't get round to trying it out until today - filthy car and decent weather. Found it easy to put together (if slightly confused by the two nozzles). But when I had it all connected up, it just kept cutting out. Over and over again. I then proceeded to try four different hoses. Still the same. I tried it wthout the extension lead - no different. I was losing patience now. Put it all away and came back and read all the questions and answers. Neither they nor the trouble shooting guide in the instructions helped. I then read the instructions again. Convinced that the problem was me and not the Bosch, I got it all out again. You see, I'd missed the bit about pressing the trigger lock button on the gun handle..... With that unpressed, I had the stop/start business again. As soon as I fully released the trigger, we were off.... I felt like a complete idiot, but if you have a trigger lock (and why do you need one?) then completely lock the trigger with it, for crying out loud. With the lock on, the trigger still works, although there isn't much travel on it. So, at the risk of making myself out to be a complete prune, I've repeated my experience in case it helps anyone else. As a friend of mine often said, 'A moment's embarrassment is worth a lifetime of regret'.... ;-) It's a great cleaner, nice and powerful and, in my opinion, just as good as my son's Karcher was. In fact, the small size and ease of use probably gives it the edge, in my opinion. Edit. I used the pressure washer again today, just my second time and I'm really very pleased with it. It's powerful, has a decent long lead and the line between the pressure washer and the gun is surprisingly long. Easily cleaned my wife's car outside the house in the road. The only adverse comment I'd make is don't bother trying to snowfoam your car using the little supplied detergent bottle. it empties in about a minute. I bought a snowfoam lance and dedicated Bosch connector from eBay which fits perfectly and works really well.

I've had the opportunity to loan various versions of high-pressure washers over the years, but finally decided to purchase my own Bosch EasyAquatak 120. I must say, it has exceeded my expectations in every way. Compact and Powerful: This washer is brilliantly designed, combining a compact size with powerful performance. Despite its small footprint, it packs a punch with its 1500 W motor. Well Constructed: The build quality is impressive. Everything feels sturdy and well-made, ensuring durability and reliability. Versatile Jets: One tip from my experience: use the straight jet for cleaning sandstone surfaces. The rotary jet is better suited for paving or bricked patios. This washer made quick work of cleaning seven months' worth of gunk from my patio in just one afternoon. Overall, I'm very pleased with the Bosch EasyAquatak 120. It's a fantastic product that delivers on all fronts. Highly recommended!

good product but I should have purchased a bigger model

What a great buy , easy to assemble and use , the car has never been so clean , very pleased with my purchase

It’s a Bosch. Decided on the 120 bar as we have a boat a car and patio areas. Already cleaned the patio and brick work with ease. Very compact for how powerful it is and the noise isnt too bad. Looking forward to washing the car with it. We’ve ordered the special hose as an extra to take water from a water butt on our allotment and wash our canal boat.

I have to admit, I am very happy and surprised at the quality and performance of this pressure washer. Out of the box it was a cinch to set up. Once that was done I connected my water supply and tested for leaks - there were none, everything fitted together tightly. It isn't cumbersome and it's easy to carry with the integrated handle. I first used it to clean my 40 year-old well worn patio which hasn't been done for I don't know how many years, and even then it was done with buckets of water and brushes. It took ages which is why it's not been done since. This pressure washer did a wonderful job of it, and it took half an hour in total. I can't wait to try it on the car next week. It has two heads, a narrow spray head for things like patio cleaning, and a wide one which I will use on the car. It is so simple to use - connect it all up, plug it in, turn it on and then press one of the small buttons under the trigger handle and pull the trigger. It is surprisingly powerful for such a small unit. Not so powerful that you will need two hands of course, but It surprised me with the amount of gunk it easily shifted off the patio. Seeing the clean area after seeing years of black was a revelation. A bit noisy, but that is a small price to pay. It packs up for storage easily too, all the components including the pressure hose are stored on the unit, everything in one place. I love it.

Bought this one to replace a Karcha which had stopped working. Very impressed with this pressure washer and it only cost a fraction of the karcha if I had bought a direct replacement. Good powerful jet made easy work of my patio cleaning. Would definately recommend thisj product.

Had a couple of pressure washers over the years, 1st a small Karcher that had problems after very little use, replaced with a more substantial Nilfisk/Kew with wheels that lasted quite a few years before it developed problems, but repaired it a couple of times and persevered with it. My usage is general home stuff, washing cars, the odd path/wall etc. This time around I was unsure what to buy as the previous 2 pressure washers were not that good on the reliability front. I like good tools and considered buying a semi professional Kranzle pressure washer for about £350, but it is difficult to justify the cost vs use. I decided to give the lower end of the market one more try, hence the purchase of the Bosch Aquatak 120. It was delivered and initially I was dubious about the performance/durability as it was so light, I mean really light. Anyhow put it together (really easy) I like the quick disconnects on both the machine and Lance, also like how you can store all the bits on the machine I prefer to hang the hose up in big loops on a hook as it helps prevent curling /twisting during use. Like the variable nozzle, really convenient as it saves having to swap nozzles for different spray/concentration of jet. Mains cable is good length, would recommend 6m extension hose as an extra as this saves you having to move the machine around when washing car etc. Additive/shampoo bottle works well. Now to the performance....I was pleasantly surprised considering the compact size of the machine and after using it for a few jobs I am impressed and more than pleased with the its performance. I have used both to wash the car and clear grime and green stains off a wall, it did it very well. The overall package has been well thought out and is good value for money from a known brand. Accessories are also reasonably priced compared to others. Compared to my other machines, I prefer a machine without the wheels, it is easy to store, put it in the boot of a car, keep it on a shelf etc. Longevity...well we'll wait and see, any problems and I will update the review. Update 6 Months on, still impressed with this machine, pressure washed a block wall this week with the Turbo Nozzle to clean the green gunk etc off the wall prior to plastering. It worked really well, shifted the dirt easily, Took about about 40 mins to clean 21 sq metres of wall. Still can't believe how powerful it is considering how light the unit is. Also seems very efficient on the amount of water it uses. Only disappointment was that Amazon dropped it to £69 over the Black Friday sales, oh well, you win some you loses some.

Came broken
