Anyone here tried a portable (self contained) pressure washer such as http://www.mobiwasher.co.uk/shop/product/v17/.
Wondered if there any good.
I know you're not supposed to pressure wash a bike but used at a distance to remove road salt etc i've never had a problem. Would've preffered a karcher or something with a lance but can't find any alternatives.
Just thought one of these would be ideal for a daily rinse after commuting through winter. Rechargeable and self contained water supply.
Any good ? Any alternative brands of rechargeable ones ?
Comments appreciated.

Not really practicle for the way my home set up.
That's why this was of interest to me.
Also don't want to mess about reeling house through house etc...

Just weatched the vid. The women with the horses gets a big thumbs up.

Otherwise I always thought Pressure washer and bikes = Trouble.

Throw a bucket of water over it, that is plenty of a rinse. Or just add lots of ACF50 and leave it alone

It doesnt look too bad an idea to me. I doubt its got enough squirt to cause any problems, if you can wash as horse down with it its hardly high pressure, its more like a motorised garden sprayer.

+1 :p

The pressure that thing will throw out will be fine imo, its only the next step up from a garden sprayer.
Seems like a good bit of kit, lot of dosh for what it is, couldnt you use a garden sprayer, the pump pressure type?, they are only about £10.
If you put warm water in it i will remove a fair amount of crap.

+1, I use my garden sprayer to lather up, sponge of all the tough stuff & then spray with clean water after.
