Are there any which use a water container to pull the water from (such as a water butt for example) or do they all have to have a hose connected to a water tap?
I only ask as I dont a water tap on the side of our flat.
How about one of these ? (thats if your thinking bike rather than using it on a car.

Yep it is for the bike bud. Do those get decent pressure in them? I was looking at one in the garden centre the other day but wasn't sure.
That kind of thing isn't bad, Find there is plenty of pressure to get the bike clean, it's just not quick. Get the worst off with one of those, then it's bucket of shampoo water and a cloth, to finish.
Ive got a mobi washer which holds enough water for 3 to 4 bike washes (less for gloopy mud). Keep it in the car so bike gets a quick (5mins max) wash before heading home from a trail. Live in a flat too so works well
Mobi's are great, not so much pressure it will kill bearing either. 😀
just get a hoselock tap adapter iv been using mine for about 2 years with no issues just run a normal hose out the house with a garden gun with variable spray settings and a £1 alloy wheel brush from asda
karcher pressure washer will draw from a water butt
And so will Nilfisk.
