Bosch 06008A7273 37-13 AQT Combi Kit High Pressure Washer - Green

Think I've become a wee bit of a Bosch groupie! Hadn't ever owned a pressure washer before, but when I decided that I had umpteen jobs around the home/garden needing attention, 'brand loyalty' kicked in. (I've several Bosch appliances and whilst the initial prices often appear higher than competitors, I've been very, very satisfied with after care service and superb manufacture of my other Bosch products - they last incredibly well)I read every article I could find about the various machines available, their pluses and minuses. Prices of similar machines across various manufacturers seemed to be only separated by small pounds or pennies. I selected the Bosch AQT 37-13 Plus as it had a couple of useful accessories packaged in one single deal (ie not separate/costly add-ons).I've now used it four or five times for several hours. My huge algae and stain covered patio is now returned to new, pale golden condition, brick paved drive is clean with no growth of moss or grass/weeds in the grouting, and the weather boarding at the front of the house is sparkly white again. Will get to work soon on the greenhouse and garden paving, and when I've discovered how the car wash brush attaches, I might even treat the car!Great machine Bosch, and best price from Amazon. Greatly recommended.

Decided that after my second Karcher K2 packed in (oil leaks and overheating and cutting out) I would try the Bosch. Only just put it together and seems well constructed and sturdy so hopefully will work as well!It is not advertised but the unit comes with an adaptor so that you can use your old machines accessories. Unfortunately mine came with an Aquatak adaptor not a Karcher so guess will have to order one. So my neighbour who I promised to give my old Karcher accessories is going to be out of luck lol.For those of you thinking of getting a Karcher K2 I would suggest you store it upside down when not in use as this will at least stop oil leaking from the crank casing of the water pump as the pump is fitted 'Upside down'. I have twice had to dismantle it and top up with oil but have had enough, hence the new Bosch. By the way it is also 130 bar as opposed to the K2 110 bar.

Bought this to replace a Karcher K2.94. Not quite as powerful on paper but performs just as well on the patio, the car and the motorbike in reality. It seems a lot noisier than the Karcher though (my wife says it's a "higher pitched" noise)... and it screeches to a halt on release of the trigger... which makes it sound like it won't last long - although it seems to be doing that less now I've used a it a few times (or maybe I'm just getting used to it, I'm not sure).The attachments don't 'attach' as easy as you'd expect at first... but when they do, they're secure and leak-free. I quite like it's compact dimensions (folding handle helps a lot here) and it appears to have a range of handy accessories available (the extension hose - which I also purchased - is very useful and recommended... and the 'suction nozzle' and particularly the 'drain cleaner' work reasonably well). Another available feature I was also impressed with the sound of, is that it's also supposedly capable of using water from a contained source such as a pond, bottle container or a rainwater butt... albeit if the reviews are to be believed, with mixed results... but a useful feature nevertheless.In addition to the lance and three-mode nozzle, the Combi Kit additionally includes a universal soft-bristle cleaning brush, detergent spray bottle, 90° angled high pressure nozzle and a patio cleaning head... however, it's worth noting that the advertised picture shows the 'Deluxe' patio cleaning attachment... but mine came with the 'basic' version (can't imagine a lot of difference in terms of performance between the two but you never know).The only downside is that you can't get a 'lance extension' as a spare or accessory part... even though one comes with the suction nozzle accessory. Bosch have told me they don't do spares for their accessories... so if I want an additional lance extension, I'd have to buy another suction nozzle tool. Seems quite ridiculous... but there you go.Other than that, all in all, I recommend it.

Only used it twice. The first time to wash the car and the second time to test cleaning the block paved drive. On both occasions I received excellent results. The tested patch on the drive is gleaming - so clean. It now means that the rest of the drive needs cleaning - quickly. The car looks like new. So easy to use, there are three settings on the spray - just turn the nozzle to adjust. Everything snaps together - simple to assemble - instructions not even needed. This is a wonderful piece of kit. Well worth the money.

i had been looking at other models until i read the reviews on this model which swayed me to buy it. very nice and compact built it up and then out into the yard to wash the car i work on a building site and the car looked like it had been in a rally across field soon cleaned the muck off, next was on to the yard which has only been cleaned with a stiff brush for the last 29 years ,Boy was i impressed i now have a new yard could not believe how much grime was on it now looks like new.followed the pictures on how to build it which was quite good,wiped down after use and now back in the box until i have done another week on site .will post again after i have given the machine plenty of use as this review is on first use.
