Challenge Xtreme

If you're looking for a washer for less than £50, and only plan on using it occasionally, then take up a Challenge! It doesn't feel as solidly built as rivals, but offers a good spread of water and a direct nozzle.

It was loud and struggled to shift brake dust, yet was the only washer to come with connectors and a hose for linking to the water supply. Two brushes were included, plus a built-in detergent tank.
