Customer review: "Small and compact - good selection of accessories, no attachments are included for heavy floor cleaning scrubbing head etc. - but this wasn't important to me - easy to set up some slight assembly required for the handles and holders - screwdriver required. I use mine for the cars I feel this was value for money in comparison to other brands and prices."

Need a pressure washer but don't want to be lugging a massive one around the garden? This Bosch EasyAquatak 110 pressure washer is easily portable with enough power to tackle patios and garden furniture.

Customer review: "I used this to clean two very dirty patios with years of caked-on grime. It did an absolutely superb job. I've also used it for car cleaning and again it's been great. I bought the extension hose and I'm pleased I did. It means that I hardly ever have to move it whilst I'm using it. However, when you do need to it's very easy because it's so light and compact. It's also very good value. I'm absolutely delighted with this."

If you're looking for efficiency, this Nilfisk pressure washer allows ease of cleaning whilst incorporating power and value. It has an optimised engine and six-metre hose for easy handling, as well as additional pocket storage. Reviewers love that it's smaller but just as powerful as other pressure washers.

Customer review: "Had a previous version which lasted 6 years and was constantly used detailing cars. This new version is more powerful and smaller. The new hose rubber is much improved and does not twist up and is so simple to roll up and put into the front hose compartment. Wheels make it nice and easy to move around. Really lightweight and the power control allows my foam gun to work more effectively being able to turn the power down. Great value."

This Mac Allister pressure washer has more pressure and power for that heavy-duty washing you may need to do outside in your garden. It has a two-year guarantee as well as an anti-tangle hose and two wheels for easy pull-in. A great value choice for a high-pressure washer.

Customer review: "I bought this jet wash to tidy the concrete outside my house, it made light work of getting up all the old moss and dirt, I tried it out on my car and van with the snow foam attachment and was surprised how well it did all these jobs, I can not recommend this enough, this is the best jet wash for around £100 hands down."

Ideal for cleaning your garden tools, this Ryobi is a powerful alternative to a garden hose with a lot less faff. The syphoning kit pulls water from any fresh water source and the 3-in-1 nozzle includes a turbo nozzle for tough cleaning. Whilst it's not the most powerful cordless pressure washer, it is an effective machine. Use the 15 degree fan spray for general cleaning, and a shower function for rinsing. The Ryobi can be used for up to 30 minutes on a single charge - but please note that a 5.0Ah battery is not included.

Customer review: "Dislike price apart from that brilliant. Used for cleaning wheelie bins used on high setting and done the job nicely. I used a folding bucket five litre topping up with two litre jug, battery - biggest 5 amp. Also managed to clean off green algae from the windows."

One of the top choices on Amazon, this WORX cordless Hydroshot washer is perfect if you don't have access to mains water and power or just want something easy to work around the garden. It has five different pressure settings, meaning you can use it across a range of materials, and you can draw the water from any freshwater source with the 6m hose, including a pool, lake, or bucket.

Customer review: "I bought this for cleaning my aviary, for which a Karcher would be much too powerful, but tried it out on my little patio first just to see what it could do - wow! It shifted 15 years of muck and moss with relative ease."

This Titan cordless handheld pressure washer makes hard-to-reach tasks easier, including cleaning bikes, patio furniture, those pesky corners of buildings, and even watering plants. The six-metre suction hose allows water to be drawn from any water source and has a 90-minute charge time.

Customer review: "Good quality and easy to use. Needed for light duties and this is perfect. More powerful than a hose pipe but not a replacement for a normal jet wash."

If you're after a washer that packs a punch, the DEWALT has been rated one of the most powerful on the market as it has 34 bar power, almost doubling some of its competitors. It is not just the power that makes it stand out, but it is also small and lightweight. ‎

Customer review: "I was delighted by this product. I cleaned years of dirt from my rooftop pavers, cleaned some dirt from my hot tub, and cleaned storage cabinets. My sail boat is next. But, it goes though batteries fast. Even so, I am glad I bought this."
