Bosch Professional GHP 5-65 X Pressure Washer 160 Bar with Hose Reel

The Bosch Professional GHP 5-65 X is a mains pressure washer built for trade and commercial users. It has the same build standards as the Bosch Blue tool range. A top mounted hose reel sits above the body. That makes starting and finishing a job quick.

It reaches 160 bar maximum with 130 bar in operation. Flow peaks at 520 litres an hour. That is plenty for site mud or workshop floors. An adjustable 3-in-1 lance changes the spray pattern fast.

A 2400W induction motor drives an anodised aluminium pump with steel pistons. The 10m hose is reinforced rubber. AutoStop shuts the motor and pump off when the trigger is released. Self-priming lets it draw from a water butt or tank. Use an external filter then. The washer weighs 24kg without accessories.

Large rubber wheels and a metal telescopic handle help on rough ground. You can run it upright or lying flat near stairs or slopes. Expect less wear and lower energy use thanks to AutoStop. A side holster keeps the lance tidy when parked.

An induction motor runs cooler and quieter than the universal motors in most home washers. The wobble plate pump uses an anodised aluminium head and steel pistons for heavy use. Working pressure is 130 bar while the peak is 160 bar. Flow of 520 litres an hour is what clears mud and grease quickly. AutoStop cuts power to the motor when the trigger is released. That reduces heat and wear between bursts.

Plug into a protected supply and keep the 5m cable clear of water. Never aim the jet at people or animals. Fit an external filter when drawing from a butt or tank. Keep inlet water below 50°C. Release the trigger before moving the lance. Wear eye protection and boots. Switch off and relieve pressure before changing accessories.
