Which pressure washer for most economical water consumption?

Sure and good luck with the bearings... see you in the Workshop section when they need replacing...christiandransfield said:
I used it to clean my bike yesterday. It used less water, was much quicker, and got mud etc out of every nook and cranny that I wouldn’t have been able to get to without a toothbrush etc. Much easier.ugo.santalucia said:Yet another pointless gadget. Bucket and sponge is the best way to wash a bike and it's the most water efficient too

To be honest mate, the pressure isn’t very high at all, so if that happens, it’ll be down to poor quality bearing seals, not this little pressure washer. The pressure level isn’t much more than me taking a mouthful of water and spitting it out 😂ugo.santalucia said:Sure and good luck with the bearings... see you in the Workshop section when they need replacing...

So like a hosepipe then............?1

No, nothing like it.shortfall said:So like a hosepipe then............?
There are no adaptors on any of the house’s taps, to be able to connect a hosepipe properly, and the pressure isn’t very high anyway, so this little pressure washer is great for the job instead 👍0 -
Which is exactly like a hosepipe with the spray nozzle barely open. You can’t have it both ways. Either it is higher pressure than a hose pipe, or it’s not. If it’s as you say it would appear an unnecessary gadget as a hand pump sprayer would give you the portability or the hosepipe if at home.christiandransfield said:The pressure level isn’t much more than me taking a mouthful of water and spitting it out 😂

It’s not an unnecessary gadget, because I don’t have a hosepipe, and it used less water than if I use a bucket. Go and troll somebody else’s post mate 👍pilot_pete said:

These are readily available at any garden centre or homeware shop, for much less than the cost of a portable pressure washer..christiandransfield said:There are no adaptors on any of the house’s taps, to be able to connect a hosepipe properly,

Not sure if you're trolling or not - but the 'hozelock' style adaptors simply screw/unscrew onto the tap - so take them with you when you move. Also available as as clamp-on style, as PB has posted above...christiandransfield said:

Jesus. Give it a rest. The type of tap here isn’t one that one can just screw or clamp one of those adaptors onto, sadly.imposter2.0 said:

If any moderators are watching this, please just delete the thread. One of the members here was nice enough to recommend the pressure washer that I eventually bought. The others seem to want to just rub me for not having taken their advice 🤷♂️0

Give what a rest? Making sense of your lack of clarity? First you 'didn't have any adaptors' - and now it seems the taps you have won't take adaptors anyway. It's almost like you're making this up as you go...christiandransfield said:

This has turned into crime of the century. The pressure washer cost the op £50 (about £40 more than buying hoses /connectors). They get positive reviews online and look like they do a good job cleaning a bike. They're portable, frugal with water consumption and won't ruin bearings any more than a hose. What's the problem?
Many on here wouldn't hesitate spending more than £50 on cycling apparel/ tools/ components.0 -
I don't think anybody here cares about the price. The main issue is the OP's tortuous logic...masjer said:This has turned into crime of the century.

I may new here, but methinks OP is overthinking this. Bucket and that yummy washing up liquid that will keep his hands soft and mild should suffice.Not a Giro Hero!1

I now have something I can use at home (frugal with water), which is light, and without the need to buy any hoses and adaptors etc, and which I can use to hose my MTB down after muddy rides in places I’ve had to drive to, so my car doesn’t get sh*t high in mud.
Feel free to post more undermining, arrogant, know-it-all comments on this thread, but I’m unfollowing it. A big thanks to the posted who recommended the pressure washer.1 -
Now see, if you had simply included that important piece of info in your OP the responses would have been very different.christiandransfield said:...and which I can use to hose my MTB down after muddy rides in places I’ve had to drive to, so my car doesn’t get sh*t high in mud.
