- The Bosch Universal Aquatak 135 pressure washer claims to provide 'fast, flexible, and effortless cleaning' for a wide range of cleaning tasks.
So, I decided to put it to the test and report back to my readers and viewers

Whether you're looking to remove grime from patios, garden furniture, cars or gutters, it offers different settings to handle each task. It also comes with a high-pressure detergent nozzle to make cleaning jobs even easier.
All of the above sounded like music to my ears as after a winter and spring of lots of rain and muddy weather my patio was in desperate need of a deep clean this year before summer finally arrived.
Although I've used a pressure washer before, this is the first one I've used for any length of time and I was keen to see if attacking the dirt and grime with a pressure washer really would make a difference to my outdoor space.
Find out how the Bosch Universal Aquatak 135 pressure washer performed on my patio and other surfaces.

So I've only used this pressure washer one time. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxfQauTxLT0JLSvqkq10rD79TU4k0Vz8zP The one time I used it, it worked great. I recently had new siding installed but kept the old gutters and small areas surrounding my house that weren't replaced so they looked horrible and dirty because of the new siding. I needed to get it cleaned asap. When I used the pressure washer, man it just melted all the dirt and grime that was on those areas of my house. I used that krud kutter soap and it was over after that. Easy to assemble, feels durable, very simple to use. Also, I purchased a used one to save money and there was absolutely nothing wrong with it. I want to get more use out of it so I think I'll be washing the cars and update this comment as time goes on.
Hi, great video. Thank you for putting this together. It really helped us set up our power washer. Before seeing your video, we thought we had a piece missing, as we couldn’t attach one of the pipes!
I have bought this after viewing your review and pretty impressed, thank you so much
Very honest review , Thanks mate !
When you use the patio cleaner gently lift the side in the direction of travel it stops the brush gripping the rough concrete. Also using the patio cleaner first then rinse off and if there are any small patches failed to clean just touch those up with the jet. That way you avoid getting rail tracks and I find it’s much quicker and keeps me much cleaner.
It seems that this pressure washer is pretty good. Thanks for the fair review!
I like it. For the money it's a good investment 👍
Just bought one. Now includes a small booklet of instructions. Still had some trouble working it out but got there in the end. not bad for a 75 year old!!! I found the patio head ok if you want to do a large patio and don't mind a rough clean up. indivivual head still my favourite but very time consuming for the better result.
1/10 is stronger than 1/50 ratio.
True
great video, thank you!
Thanks, matey.
Your video is very good, thank you
Thank you for the review. I have the Bosch Aquatak 125. I am assuming the only difference is I do not have the have all the additional attachments such as the patio head and the gutter cleaning attachment. Bonus is I will not lose any additional attachments in the garage like you will but the gutter cleaner attachment looks like a great tool I must say I’m a bit gutted I haven’t got that one. See what I did there … lol. I came looking for a review because as you stated the instructions are virtually non existent and I was struggling attaching the hose to the pressure washer. Your review gave me the confidence to have a closer look at what I was doing and I was relieved to find out it was the universal adaptor I had but I wasn’t pushing it on properly hence the issue. Thank you for saving me from running to wicks and buying more hose attachments when in fact I had the right adaptor for the job. I am impressed with this machine it does a great job, with little effort and within a short space of time …. Thats if you push the hose fitting on correctly of course. Fabulous Vlog … I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to viewing more of your down to earth informative content.
Thanks, very informative.
Can patio cleaner be used for clean8ng carpet pieces?
Great review
Thanks man
Hi, any reason why my hose pipe keeps popping off the Bosch's water filter? It wont stay on whenever I turn on the hose tap?
This one or kracher k2? Which one should be considered?
You did quite a few strange things ... the first one is that the "most gentle" is actually made to use it close to surface as it creates a rotating water jet that cleans a lot of stuck dirt. The other one is that you need to leave the cleaning solution at 1:5 or maybe 1:10 ratio on for at least a few minutes... using the "most powerfull" jet is very tideous and time consuming.
Mate does it come it induction motor ?
the lack of instructions is the reason im watching your video :D
I have various Karcher lances (extensions, right angle, foamer etc) - will these fit? I'm fed up with Karcher build quality so want to try something else, but I'm rather invested in the Karcher eco system.
Where can I find the universal adapter?
I'm more interested to that hose storage on that wall, what's it called?
Brilliant video mate
Thank you. That's very kind of you to say
@@gardeniaorganic4533 your welcome mate
I have just purchased this Bosch 135 and it comes with full instructions ?
beautifull review! BUT first of all you have to prime it before use! Just connect hose, simply press gun trigger and wait till there is no air coming from the nozzle.It is very important. I just bought one and I am pretty amazed by the power of this little washer!
thanks for info re priming. I assume unit is off?
@@garypellatt Yes,washer must be off.
Nice video, i will buy it today, my Karcher K4 is broken and to be fair Karcher had a good few issues so i am looking forward to testing the more powerful Bosch for a much lower price with a few accessories thrown in.
Great video. I've tested it washing my car. I had to refill the soap tank 3 times😅. But overall is okay
I think you're moving too quick with the pressure washer when going over areas, Got to go slow & steady with those "home owner" pressure washers. (yes I know it's sped up clips). I've done this for a couple years now and I definitly noticed that when I move over areas too fast it just doesn't have the power to clean it properly.
Great video, really helpful
Not as good as yours. But I'm learning.
My jet keep changing from spinning to fine jet, why would this be?
Nice video Carl
Thank you. I just need to remember not to jet wash in my best shoes next time 🤣
@@gardeniaorganic4533 As pointed out by Alex 😅
Is the noise very high?
No there are instructions there in the bottom of the box..
For all of you out there I thank you for your views and feedback on the Bosch Universal Aquatak 135 (135 bar; 240 Volts; 1900 W). Can anyone tell me the length (in cm) of the gun, lance and nozzle set up (best views at 8.55 to 9.11 mins), even measure yours for me. I can’t find an answer anywhere. Also with the extension adaptor attached which briefly made an appearance at 2.17mins to 2.24 mins.
I’m scrapping my failed Karcher, I don’t aim to buy another although the lance set up was a good length at 125 cm.
I reckon the the barrel turns so you're not having to twist the 'gun' to get into tight spots. You just twist the barrel which in turn rotates the nozzle without have to twist the 'gun'
DOH... You could be right. I'll test that
@@gardeniaorganic4533 Some attachments like real foam cannons also attach directly to the gun so you need the barrel to turn so you can adjust their orientation.
Shoul I buy it for car and yard washing?
1:47 The book of instructions comes out of the box. I've just bought one and mine had instructions as well.
They help 👍
I've literally just bought one its coming today, There's two reasons why i ended up getting Bosch and that 1. My Lawnmower packed in after 10 years of use and my dad recommend me to get the Bosch lawnmower which i did so i thought i might as well get the pressure washer in the same brand, 2. My previous pressure washer was a Karcher and stop working within a year or just over and that was before covid, My dad also as a Karcher but it was way better than mine and even his broke so i'm staying well clear of Karcher in fact even the handle on my karcher hose pipe broke off so overall Karcher is terrible imo.
So yes i have both Bosch Lawn morrow and pressure washer coming today but genuinely i use mine to clean up the fence and posts before painting i keep on top of my path and i use it for my wheelie bins because i use scented wheelie bin detergent.
what is the real water pressure of this machine
I had some picture instructions in the leaflets that came with it
what about the 140 model? how much of a step up is that one, if you have had the chance to try one of those out. thanks.
Sorry. I haven't tested that one
The 140 model is a different animal and belongs their advanced line. Not only does it offer higher pressure and flow rate, it also has a pressure hose reel, weighs almost twice as much as the 135 and comes with different nozzles. It's a big step up from the 135 and depending on how cheap you can get it, is much better value.
Whats with the music? We want to hear the sound of the machine too.
I'll do that next time. NO music 👍
@@gardeniaorganic4533 so did you do it?
Had mine a year or so, used without issue for numerous jobs until today!!, pressure keeps dropping, motor makes a heck of a noise. No leaks, adjusting the water tap pressure makes no difference!, Really frustrating taken hours trying to do a job that should be relatively short!,
THANK YOU😻😻😻🎈🎈🎈🧸🧸🧸👍👍👍
Thank you too
Can you use the soap container along with the brush ..?
Yes you can
FYI it’s not straight jet, finer spray and gentle spray. It’s straight jet, rotary jet and fixed fan. Rotary jet is a straight jet which rotates at high speed. Don’t assume it’s a fine spray or you may strip the paint off your car. Also the cleaner wouldn’t be particularly effective on top of the organic layer over the concrete. You would need to remove this using the PW and then apply cleaner to test the results. Useful to see it in action but I the details in this review seem to be a bit uninformed.
Can we use this pressure washer for ac fins cleaning ? Can we adjust its pressure according to need?
ΜΑX 5-8 BARS ON THE FINS.....IF YOU DONT WANT TO BUY ANOTHER A/C
Nice white sports (before)!
I have a problem. If it is turned on while pushing water, the cartridge comes out to prove what the solution is
by any chance did you measure the noise level?
It’s not quiet but I’ve had others that were louder. This one is okay. The neighbours won’t complain
Had this today and cant get the patio cleaner to stay on. The middle connection keeps coming undone.
Mines the same, bought it today. Did you figure out how to stick it on?
@liammiles7212 No just put it in the shed. Suppose I should have taken it back really. If you do find an answer please share.
@@kerryhayes3499 I've finally worked it out but not sure if yours will be the same. Basically mines broke - the red bit that the man on the video twists isn't moveable on mine and is also too high (meaning the connection piece isn't reachable). Have got one from a friend for now and emailed Bosch to hopefully get a replacement. Hope this helps.
@5:50 That's not a "really gentle spray"! That's the rotating turbo dirtblaster nozzle!!
Not a bad review for someone who doesnt know how to use a pressure washer or what the difference is between nozzle settings etc etc
I never said I was an expert 😂😂 you can tell that from my footwear. lol.
1st time using a P.W. I would have liked an explanation of priming.
Too be honest there was no priming. The first few seconds had a few air locks but after they came through no issues
Ive got one of these.
The most effective pressure is the needle one. But using this it will take hours to clean a large area....and use tonnes of water. Your back will also be breaking if you are more than 5ft 5 cos you'll need to bend over to get the nozzle close to the path.
Would not buy again.
Is it 50hz 60hz or only 60hz
It's 50hz my friend
Why my washer is popping out
What was really bugging and annoying ME was seeing that pressure hose not being uncoiled properly. If you want to kink and wreck your hose, do it like that! The music is not needed.
Thanks for the feedback
Every other review of this model shows clearly there is a user manual in the box.
I think the issue is that the installation instructions come at the back of the manual (around page 218) [ typical issue with multilanguage manuals]. Page 13 of my manual "mounting and operation" send you to the different end pages
The turning handle is using a foam gun mjjc
Why would you need instructions for miniwash...
I’m a man I don’t read instructions anyway 😂😂
Tangled hose hurts my eyes
Hrmmm This did a very poor job. I’ve been looking to replace my 15a semi industrial karcher it’s in very poor condition now….. But even still it makes this look like a kids toy. That spinning pointy head does a shocking and uneven job. And as does the rotating patio cleaner head. Very disappointing result with uneven cleaning! It’s very underpowered. My tired karcher will cut through your toe nails if your not careful. Might have to check the 150 version, but I don’t think it’s much better.
No respect for the Adidas
Harsh 😂
I think this is a bit weak from what I can see,
No it’s good. Enough for what I need
Slow down
I can read the tech spec, don't waste my time on that crap.
Buyer beware - Bosch refuse to replace an improperly manufactured high pressure hose.
Their customer care is laughable.
Do NOT buy Bosch products. They do not sell quality, and they do not care about the customer.
I repeat - do not give Bosch your custom. They will not stand over their poorly made products.
Thanks it looks crap so won’t be buying one of them
No worries. Thanks for watching
@@gardeniaorganic4533 Thanks for the review.
I brought one of these after watching it.
The patio cleaning disc attachment worked great (I thought) and it cleaned my patio in half the time it took last year with my old pressure washer.
Out of the box, this model is at first a little confusing as there are many pieces to put together and some are for the disc and some for the lance along with other attachments for other tasks.
I was also bemused about the twisty lance feature? No idea why it has it.
Youre vidio is terrible to much not clear
A bit like your comment then
