Wickes 120 Bar Pressure Washer

One of the cheapest on test, the budget Wickes washer struggles in this company.

The hose is long enough to tackle a small car without the need to move the pump – although you have to loop it around the handle for storage when not in use.

You get two lances and a soap bottle for the spray gun, but as there is no auto-stop, prolonged use can be wearing.
