Review: Excellent pressure washer - really good results - I put off buying a pressure washer for a long time - I read a lot of reviews before plumping for this one, and I'm really pleased with my choice. It wasn't the cheapest on offer but it is really easy to use, very powerful, compact in size and comes with useful accessories. I have used it to clean the car, garden furniture, and the patio - and I'm really pleased with the results Review: A very well made and reliable brand - Bought to replace my old worn out Bosch 100 pressure washer that gave years of reliable use, then I foolishly bought a different brand that was next to useless. Ive now bought a Bosch Universal aquatak 135, extra rotary nozzle and an Aquasurf 250. Heres how I got on:- Having checked out some of the reviews, I fail to understand claims of no assy instructions etc, mine were readily available although it doesnt take a mastermind to assemble the lance and attach the hose and fit it into its storage rack (not at all hard to do). The first thing I noticed was the increased power (my old Bosch was 100bar) and tried it out by cleaning a few patio slabs first (see pic) - no description needed, it just took under 20 minutes. I then proceeded to clean my resin bonded front driveway, initially with the lance, which looked like it was going to take quite a while so I connected up the patio cleaner I had bought as an accessory. This speeded things up no end, the ratchet on the lance (which a youtube reviewer couldnt understand what it was for) came into its own here - it enables the relation of the patio cleaner and lance handle to be radially adjusted so when in use, the rotary unit is flat on the patio. I found that SO much dirt was removed it was difficult to wash it away, but soon found that by raising the patio cleaner off the surface by a few inches, the resulting water spray washed it all off admirably. I stored it all away after use by disconnecting the hose from the main unit and hung it all up on my garage wall complete with lance still connected, the power unit had its handle lowered and stored on my racking. The extra bits ie:- 3 position nozzle (currently unused), car wash bottle etc was just stored away in an old biscuit tin clearly labeled. All in all (especially getting a 3rd year warranty by registering it) I think it was a very wise investment. The old saying that you get what you pay for rings true here. 100% recommended. Very well pleased that I bought it. ## Features - Lightweight, compact and manoeuvrable for effective pruning in a variety of positions, weighing just 3 kg including battery - Stabilizing Tip Protector with Gripping Teeth" grips the wood, ensuring a clean undercut and minimizing branch damage - Easy to operate SDS system for fast assembly, chain tensioning and maintenance - Power for ALL 18 V - One battery for all Home & Garden tools.

Thanks** A: The hand guard is just that. However, to activate the saw you have to press and hold a button before pulling the trigger. Releasing the button for any reason cuts power to the saw and applies an internal brake **Q: When will this be sent please, I go abroad shortly.** A: Hello, Thank you for the query. Unfortunately we are unable to advise on the delivery date of any items that have been purchased and would suggest contacting the seller direct to discuss this further. Best regards, Robert Bosch Power Tools **Q: Where can I buy the appropriate oil?** A: Amazon sell this.... 4.6 out of 5 stars 282 Reviews Bosch 2607000181 Chainsaw Oil for Bosch AKE Chainsaws, Biodegradable, 1 L **Q: We have the Bosch 36v battery would it be compatible with this?** A: Hello, Thank you for the query. Unfortunately our batteries have to match the voltage of the tool they are being used with. As such your existing battery would be compatible with any DIY & Garden (green) 36V tools and the UniversalChain 18 would be compatible with any of our PBA/Power4All 18V batteries.

However, I ordered the larger of three versions which is indeed very strong and can occasionally damage wood if not carefully used. Nothing too serious really, but one of the smaller versions would supposedly have worked as well. It needs a lot of power and water. It did blow the 10A fuse of the otherwise unused circuit I first put it on (at 1900 Watt it should have stayed slightly below that point). One water hose did not stand the high pressure at the input plug and repeatedly detached within seconds; another one connected fine without problems for the 2 hours I used the machine. Because I needed to use an extension lead to get power form a 20A circuit (make sure you have a lead rated high enough) and water from the other end of the small garden the setup wasn't ideal with cables/hoses in the way most of the time and a certain risk of water reaching the extension lead plug. Everything worked out in the end with good results, but it was more tricky than expected. It's a high quality device and if proper supply points are available and the power it provides is needed, it's certainly worth the money. ## Frequently Bought Together - UniversalChain 18 (Baretool) - KAKEI 18 Inch Chainsaw Chain 3/8" LP Pitch .050" Gauge 62 Drive Links Fits Poulan, Kobalt, Echo, Ego, Greenworks and More- S62 (3 Chains) - DEWALT 20V MAX 5 Ah Lithium Ion Battery (DCB205) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/78358765-universalchain-18-baretool](https://www.desertcart.at/products/78358765-universalchain-18-baretool) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
