Bosch pressure washers come in four families: the compact EasyAquatak (100 to 120 bar), the all-round UniversalAquatak (125 and 135 bar), the AdvancedAquatak 140 with its hose reel, and the cordless 36V and Fontus models for when there's no socket or no tap. They suit home owners who want a light, well built washer for the car, the bikes and a patio, rather than a contractor's machine.

Bosch names its green home and garden cleaning machines by family and by maximum pressure, so the number on the side is the bar rating. That makes the range easy to read once you know what each family is for. Bosch's own guide splits them into corded high pressure washers, cordless high pressure washers and low pressure cordless cleaners, and that's the order we use here.
The Easy range is the small, light end. The EasyAquatak 100 gives 100 bar and 300 litres an hour with a long lance and a fan jet. The Bosch EasyAquatak 110 moves up to 110 bar and 330 litres an hour, adds a rotary nozzle and a foam nozzle, and weighs just 3.8kg. The Bosch EasyAquatak 120 is the pick of the three for most people: 120 bar, 350 litres an hour, a 1500W motor and a metal three cylinder pump, still only about 4kg. All three have a 5m cable and the 100 and 110 have a short 3m hose, so they suit light cleaning: a car on the drive, garden furniture and small patios close to the house.
The UniversalAquatak 125 and the Bosch Universal Aquatak 135 electric pressure washers are the middle of the range and where most buyers end up. Both have an all metal pump and the 3 in 1 nozzle, which twists between a fan, a rotary and a pencil jet, so there's no swapping parts. The 125 gives 125 bar, 360 litres an hour and a 5m hose; the 135 gives 135 bar, 410 litres an hour, a 1900W motor and a 7m hose. That extra flow rate is what clears a patio or a muddy 4x4 faster.
The AdvancedAquatak 140 is the top of the green corded range we list. It has a 2100W induction motor (quieter and longer lasting than the series motors in the Easy and Universal models), 140 bar, 450 litres an hour and an 8m hose on an integrated reel. It is built for big driveways, block paving and walls, and it's the one to buy if you clean every month rather than twice a year.
The Bosch cordless pressure washer is the UniversalAquatak 36V-100. It runs on a 36V Power For All battery, gives up to 100 bar with High and Eco modes, and self-primes from a bucket or water butt, so it works on a drive with no outside socket. Two versions are listed: the bare tool, and one that comes with a priming kit. The battery and charger are not included with either.
The Fontus models are low pressure cleaners rather than a high pressure washer: up to 20 bar from an 18V battery, with their own water tank. The Fontus 18V-6 has a 6 litre tank and is made for bikes, while the Fontus Gen II has a 15 litre tank, three pressure modes and four spray patterns for a car, a motorbike, camping gear or a muddy dog.
The blue Bosch Professional GHP 5-65 X is a different class of machine. It gives 160 bar maximum (130 bar working pressure), up to 520 litres an hour from a 2400W induction motor, takes inlet water up to 50°C and comes with a 10m reinforced rubber hose on a reel. At 24kg it's for trades, farms and anyone cleaning large areas every week. See our professional pressure washers for others in this class.
Here's every model on this page side by side, from the specs on the retailer's listings. Prices change daily, so we give bands rather than exact figures.

| Professional GHP 5-65 X | 160 bar | 520 l/h | 2400W induction | 10m on reel | 24kg | £600 to £700 |
Weights are without accessories. The cordless and Fontus models are sold without a battery or charger, so add those if you don't already own Power For All tools.
Not sure how much pressure your jobs need? Our guide to what bar pressure washer you need goes through it surface by surface.
Bar is the force of the water at the nozzle. Bosch's own advice is that 100 to 135 bar cuts through traffic film and cleans decking and furniture, while 140 bar and above lifts deep dirt, moss and lichen from hard surfaces. For cars and decking you rarely need full power anyway: a fan jet held back from the surface is safer.
Flow rate, in litres an hour, is what rinses the loosened dirt away. Two washers with the same bar can feel very different if one has a higher flow rate. That's why the UniversalAquatak 135 (410 l/h) clears a patio noticeably faster than an EasyAquatak 120 (350 l/h). Which? makes the same point in its pressure washer buying guide: check the flow rate as well as pressure.
Every green corded electric pressure washer from Bosch has a three cylinder pump, metal on the 110 upwards. The Easy and Universal models use a series motor, which is light and cheap but louder; the AdvancedAquatak 140 and the GHP 5-65 X use an induction motor, which runs cooler and lasts longer under regular use.
A 3m hose means moving the machine a lot. If you're washing a car or a long path, the 7m and 8m hoses on the bigger models save a lot of walking, or you can add one of our pressure washer extension hoses. Every corded model here has a 5m cable.
A big plus for every Aquatak is that it can self-prime: with a suction hose it draws water up to 0.5m from a water butt, tank or bucket instead of a garden tap. That saves mains water on big cleaning jobs and lets you clean where there's no outside tap. Bosch fits double water filtration to protect the pump, because grit in the water is what wears pumps out, so keep the filter clean and never run the washer dry. With rainwater, a filter on the end of the suction hose helps too.
Karcher is the brand most people compare against. Karcher's K range runs from the K 2 at 110 bar to the K 7 at 180 bar, so it reaches higher pressures at the top end; Bosch's home range tops out lower but gives you a metal pump on most models and self-priming as standard. Bosch's Trio and 3 in 1 nozzles mean fewer parts to carry, where Karcher tends to supply a separate vario lance and dirt blaster. Accessories aren't shared: Bosch parts are made for the Aquatak (AQT) range and won't fit a Karcher gun. Read our Karcher K2 vs K3 vs K4 vs K5 vs K7 guide if you're weighing up both.
Bosch green home and garden tools come with a two year guarantee, and Bosch extends that to three years if you register the tool on MyBosch within four weeks of buying it. To get the most from it:
The patio cleaner, extension hoses, brushes and drain cleaning hoses sold for the AQT range all fit the Aquatak models. A surface cleaner turns any UniversalAquatak or AdvancedAquatak into a proper patio tool with far less splashback; a wash brush helps on cars and conservatory roofs.

For most homes, the UniversalAquatak 135. It has enough bar and flow for patios and cars, a 7m hose, a metal pump and the 3 in 1 nozzle. Go for the EasyAquatak 120 on a tight budget, or the AdvancedAquatak 140 for big drives.
Usually, yes. The 135 adds 10 bar, about 50 litres an hour more flow and a 7m hose instead of 5m, which makes a real difference on larger areas.
Yes. Every Aquatak model self-primes up to 0.5m with a suction hose, from a tank, bucket or butt. The cordless 36V-100 is sold with a priming kit in one of the two listings here.
No. The UniversalAquatak 36V-100 needs a 36V Power For All battery and charger, and the Fontus models need an 18V one. If you already own green tools on the same platform, you can use those batteries. See all cordless pressure washers.
For a small patio, yes, using the rotary nozzle, but it's slow on large areas with its 330 litres an hour and 3m hose. The EasyAquatak 120 or a UniversalAquatak suits bigger patios better.
They're well made and light for their power, with metal pumps on most models and a three year guarantee once registered. If you want very high pressure, Karcher's K 5 and K 7 go further; if you want a cheaper option, see our cheap pressure washers.
