Brilliant review. Everything I need to Know in a nutshell. Thank you. Bosch also comes with a metal water pump instead of a plastic parts pump as with the case of karcher which makes a huge difference in terms of reliability. Sorry for your grass. It will be allright!
I have Bosch 110 & recently purchased a Bosch 6metre Bosch brand extension hose for under £15, thus giving 9metre in total when connected to machine hose. This makes a tremendous difference when cleaning around car & as I got my 110 for same price as you at B&Q, this gave me the power washer & extension hose for under £60, not a bad deal
I have two different Karcher washers and the hoses are very stiff and not long enough to work around the car completely. The biggest issue though is that the "dirt blaster" on both stopped working after a few uses. They use a little ball which rotate to give the pulsating effect and both balls topped rotating. In general I think the Karcher brand is ok, but the prices for accessories are extortionate especially the price of an extension hose which cost as much as 50% of the machine price!
Fantastic, took me 30 minutes to decided between these 2 in B&Q today, glad I went with the Bosch, can’t wait for weekend to give it a run out. Big points for me given there was only £1 between them, the Bosch comes with more and packs down better due to me being short on storage. Looks a good machine.
Thankyou so much for this super video… I have been borrowing a neighbours and want my own. The Kärcher I have to buy the attachment I wanted to clean patios. You’re plantation of the Bosch , being able to alter the nozzle is perfect. Thankyou and have a great day Jo
Good review but just thought I would correct you on a couple things. The Karcher's guarantee can also be extended for 5 years by registering online. The Karcher compact also comes with 2 types of lance, which offer the same type of water spray outlet as the Bosch, yet you are stating the Bosch comes with more attachments , the only difference is the Karcher has 2 types of lance, the Bosch 2 types of attachments, no difference, you get exactly the same in regards to attachments that are included in the box but in a different way.. Tip for patio cleaning, just spray some Sodium Hypocloride and hose down, wont even need a pressure washers, absolutely amazing results, even gets rid of your black lichen.
How is the smell on the 2nd unit? The smell could be due to the air cooled unit and think from the k4 onwards turns to the water cooled. I've just discovered ava pressure washers they do mixed level of entry too. Plus they seem to come with better accessories than these 2. I read they came from Karcher staff who branched off so all accessories are karcher compatible. Warranty maybe an extra year if you purchase through their website too. From personal experience I would look at how easy it would be to get replacement parts I had a m22 connection hose and everyone I tried the hose kept leaking. As you said in the video everywhere do karcher replacements. Ava offer better quality hoses out of the box but I assume the replacements would have to come from them direct.
Hello! I found your review very useful. However, I purchased my Bosch Aquatak 10 days ago, and after several uses, I feel very satisfied to have made the right purchase. Thanks for sharing your conclusions.
Unfortunately, it does not work from a bucket, you have to plug it to the mains water source, I do have a video of a cordless pressure washer, if you wanted too see one in action 👌
Karcher is just the product of brand loyalty like apple,tesla,dyson,amazon echo all inferior products to others but everyone has one so they buy them to and they tend to cost more so people think if it costs more its better this test proves my point thanks for a great review

Helloo charlie , is the bosch worth it? To me a preseure washer is a big purchase , hopefully i can get a second opinion after your month's usage with the Bosch
The bosch is a great washer, with a lot of adapters straight out of the box, but it all depends what you plan on using it for, if its to clean your car once a month and other lighter jobs then its perfect. However, if you want to use it to regularly clean 2 cars, the driveway, the patio, the deck chairs and more then I would recommend a more powerful washer. Hope this helps!
I have a question about the Bosch. Can I attach any foam cannon to it? There are different sizes that cannot be attached? And how do I know what works with it and what not when I want to buy a foam cannon instead of using the one that comes with it?
As long as you have an adapter you can use any foam canon, so I would recommend getting a 1/4 quick connector kit for the bosch, and then any foam canon you buy should be able to come with a 1/4 quick connect. Hopefully that's makes sence 😂

Good idea! For a bargain price aswell! 👌
Really helpful video thanks. Love the watering can lawn test!
Thankyou, got my inspiration from nasa, that's how they test rockets....by pushing cans across the grass 😂
Great video. You have helped me decide on what to buy. Thank you.
Great video Charlie. Thanks for taking the time to make this!
Thankyou 😂👌

Hi there, do you know if I can use Sodium Hypocloride on natural stone garden slabs (quartzite) without damaging the stone?
@@michalrychter2819 I used it my Indian sandstone, it came up beautiful, the lichen was disappearing as I was spraying. Its great stuff.

The k2 still smells a little burny 🤣
Great review Charlie.
Thankyou 👊👌

Thanks for sharing your conclusions.
👌👌👌
Nice one. Is there ever a time when you get out either of these two instead of your K4?
Because I clean my car 95% of the time, the cables are longer on the k4 so it makes it easier for me 🤣
Thank you, this was very helpful! I was trying to decide between these exact two models, so your video helped massively 😀
👌👌👌
Hi, what's the hose like on the bosch? Is it quite flexible or stiff like the karcher. The videos great by the way 👍
Both hoses are flexible, the karcher k4 hose is allot stiffer than these 2 👌
@charlieschannel4192 That's what I was comparing to the K4. Had to buy an after-market hose it was that bad. Thanks
Thank you for your work and your video. I have a question; can you use water in a bucket as a source our you need to connect it to a tap?
Unfortunately, it does not work from a bucket, you have to plug it to the mains water source, I do have a video of a cordless pressure washer, if you wanted too see one in action 👌
@@charlieschannel4192 thank you for your quick reply, I look into your channel for that cordless washer then :)
The aquatak sucks water you just need to prime the pipe
Karcher is just the product of brand loyalty like apple,tesla,dyson,amazon echo all inferior products to others but everyone has one so they buy them to and they tend to cost more so people think if it costs more its better this test proves my point thanks for a great review
I understand what you mean, but i have a k4, and its been completely faultless, and I've had it for about 5-6years, so I will defend that one 👌😂
any chance of dropping the link to the snow foam lance adapter for the Bosch?
Stone Banks Pressure Washer Adapter, Bosch AQT to 1/4'' Quick Connect, Pressure Washer Spary Wand Couple, Snow Foam Lance Adapter Foam Cannon Gun Adapter amzn.eu/d/j1aesbA
Who is better between these two karcher k4 compact and bosh easy aquatak !!!
Hi mate, where did you get an adapter for the auto-glym foam lance for the Aquatak 110? Struggling to find one!

@@charlieschannel4192 thank you for the prompt reply!! Will definitely take your opinion into consideration
Got the boshch brilliant
hi. nice video, very helpful.
may i know how is the noise of them compared to your k4?
The k4 is quieter than the k2 👌
@@charlieschannel4192 is it significant?
The k2 is high pitched, and the k4 is allot deeper, so yes, there is a significant difference
@@charlieschannel4192 okay. Thank you for the info! I appreciate it
Karcher 6:50
Bosch 7:20
Almost bought the Bosh, but when checking the reviews, a lot o people complain it burns fast (1year).
Fair enough, mines been okay atm but it does come with a warranty 👌
I have a question about the Bosch. Can I attach any foam cannon to it? There are different sizes that cannot be attached? And how do I know what works with it and what not when I want to buy a foam cannon instead of using the one that comes with it?
As long as you have an adapter you can use any foam canon, so I would recommend getting a 1/4 quick connector kit for the bosch, and then any foam canon you buy should be able to come with a 1/4 quick connect. Hopefully that's makes sence 😂
@@charlieschannel4192 thank you so much for the quick and helpful reply 🙏 you’re a great TH-camr
This was great appreciated
Cheers mate. Fantastic review. 👌
amazing review. thank you
Is the Bosch still working and have you had any issues with it?
Still working, no issues at all 😂👌
@@charlieschannel4192 Thanks for the reply. Also, how's the noise level? I've seen some people complain about it.
I would say the k2 is noisier, but all pressure washers make abbit of a racket
The Karcher has a 5 year warranty if you register it within 28 days of purchase
Had a couple of Karchers would not by anymore.
What about noise? Which is quiter?
The bosch is allot quiter 👌
@@charlieschannel4192 Thanks for your help
£24 ??? - bugger - I've just paid £72!!
Poor old Wilko 🫣
Which one do you think, Karcher or Bosh?
Out of these 2, the Bosch is more compact has more attachments and is usually cheaper 👌
@@charlieschannel4192 thanks dude Since there are not many users in Turkey, I did not have access to information. I can't wait to buy bosch
Hi brother..
Which is quieter? (Db count)
From DUBAI with ❤
I'm not sure, I will have to find out 👌
@@charlieschannel4192 🙏🏼
karcher better
The Bosch Foamed up better
