Brilliant bit of kit... MUCH better than a mobi washer etc..
Reduced to £106 for the whole shebang..
Couple it with a 25L container for about £6 from ebay and you're laughing!!

Cheers, got a strimmer with a couple of batteries during the summer and I've been waiting for these coming down again 👍

What you gonna use it for, your bikes never get dirty!
I assume there's no issues using a waterbutt as the water source for this?
Nope, you can use anything. The hose comes with a filter attached.
jimbubleyou - should be fine, the pickup hose has a filter on the end.
🙂 early xmas pressie then...

Cars, motorbike and windys. Didn't even think about the bike😬
How powerful are these? Would they clear heavy clag and mud from a motocross bike?
^^ yeah, they are 'almost' as powerful as a jet wash...
I'm SO impressed with mine. This bundle has the foam sprayer too, so real easy to wash the car with it.

Ge the 1 hour charger. The main charger that was bundled with mine takes about 4/5 hours.
Would probably work on fresh mud. It's not so good on old dried on dirt, the main draw is the portability.
I got one a couple of months ago. Battery lasts just over 2 standard buckets, but the battery takes an age to charge with the standard charger.
It's really decent though and the foamer you get works ace with bike cleaner in it!
Brilliant bit of kit.
It comes with a small battery and a slow charger. I reckon a generic 3AH (Creebeast on ebay) battery is a better investment than the fast charger
I saw some of these reduced to £85 in B&Q last week
Been close to buying one of these a few times now! I’m going to resist again to prove to myself I do have will power!...who am I kidding

That could be handy. Ta.
You still need to charge it and will take yonks won't it?
I'd have both.

The one i bought a year ago has teh battery with the LED indicator, and lasts EASILY 25 litres... easily....
But, i also have a few other Worx bits with 2 fast chargers and 3 batteries, so all is good!!

Had this on my wishlist for a while thinking my current Mobi washer wouldn't last*, but it's still going strong...
Aso they really are good then?
*jinxed that, haven't I
No comparison to those Mobi things of which I've owned 2 or 3.
I'm into my second winter with the Hydroshot.
I'm assuming they're clearing out the old 20v versions. Is the 40v one available yet?
Been using the 20v one for a while now and it's great. I could wash three manky bikes at least out of a single battery charge. The ability to throw the hose into any water source is brilliant. Many a river used to clean off post ride. Power is great. A lot better than the self contained units I've owned in the past
rone, BoardinBob - thanks, good to know. Still on the wishlist then.
*not so stealth ad*
I've got one for sale if anyone wants one...:-)
Just used mine today to rinse off the caravan after washing brilliant piece of kit
Are the batteries cross compatible with any other brands?
are they any good at power washing the patio and driveway? I have a couple of WORX battery powered tools but I am not sure on the true power of the hydroshot.
If you already have the batteries, the body-only is £62 on Amazon.. plus 9% Quidco cashback (Black Friday items).
are they any good at power washing the patio and driveway?
No, they're ideal for bikewashing as they're more powerful and effective than a hose (whilst using less water) but not so powerful they'll rip off the paint or blow the grease out of your bearings.
For you patio you want a cheap mains powered one
Got a mobi v17 and a hydroshot
The hydroshot will do two 25 lite drums for me before recharging and that's plenty
It's more powerful but not too powerful for bikes which is a good thing .register it and you get 3 years warranty
Massive downside is I can't use it after night rides as the noise at 11pm after a ride isn't ideal its very noisy compared to the mobi so I use that for the car for night rides and use the hydrodhot for home use .
The mobi is less hassle
On Amazon for £86. Basic kit.
Argh, just spent my £50 credit on a new camera. Bugger 🙁
