    given you still need the hose connected, what is the advantage of a cordless pressue washer?

    No, it's connected to a bottle or bucket.

    I have an 18V Worx HydroShot version that I've found to be good for washing my mountain bike before putting it back into the car, and occasionally spraying down the car.

    It's not suitable for pressure washing concrete or wood or anything like that really. It has a decent bit of pressure, but far smaller flow rate than a real pressure washer, and the battery only lasts maybe 2-3 washes of the bike.

    Handy alright, but certainly a luxury item as opposed to a work tool as such.

    Looks like a piece of crap. Watch the video in the link - no pressure a tall.

    Snow foamer - Yeah, right.

    Waste of €100 IMO

    I'd say you've be better off and do more cleaning by pissing up against whatever it is you want to wash.

    Wouldn't waste my money on it.

    Has anyone calling it crap actually ever used one?

    They're really clear on its applications in the advert too. As I said, incredibly handy for specific tasks.

    Without it, I'd be putting a muddy bike back into the car every week, so well worth the money for me.

    Well, from the video, it is absolutely useless on a car.

    If they remove the car from the video and specify it's for muddy bikes and one is happy to fork out €100 when a hose or a bucket/brush would do the same - grand, otherwise its junk.

    Would this be any good.Anyone used it or similar?

    saw a version of it for sale in Lidl within the last week for half the price of that you linked - can't comment on the quality but might suit you if you were not aware they sold them for that price.
