Muc-Off Pressure Washer
The Muc-Off Pressure Washer has an integrated 20-litre water tank and generates a pressure of up to 65 bar. It is supplied with three different cleaning lances, a foam nozzle and a 5 metre hose. The 40-volt battery enables a running time of 13 to 25 minutes, depending on the selected mode. Large castors and a folding handle make it easy to transport. In the test, the Muc-Off impressed with its intuitive handling and extensive features. Points of criticism were the stubborn hose and the unreliable battery indicator. Overall, the device is well suited for the thorough cleaning of one or two heavily soiled bicycles.
Bosch Fontus 18V-6
The Bosch Fontus 18V-6 has space for 6 litres of water and a 2.7 metre hose. The cleaner generates a pressure of 2 to 20 bar and offers four different spray modes. The 18-volt battery enables a running time of around 25 minutes in high-performance mode. Particularly practical: the tank can also be filled with water from natural sources thanks to the screw cap and filter. In the test, the Fontus impressed with its compact design and versatility. Points of criticism were the small tank volume and the weak eco mode.
Stihl RCA 20
The Stihl RCA 20 scores highly with its extensive range of accessories. It is supplied with a 20-litre folding canister, various nozzles and two 10.8-volt batteries. The Stihl RCA 20 generates a pressure of up to 24 bar and offers a runtime of around 25 minutes per battery. Particularly practical: The cleaner can be connected both to the folding canister and directly to a garden hose. In the test, the Stihl impressed with its flexible water supply and long battery life. Points of criticism were the high weight of the gun and the limited number of useful spray modes for bicycles.
Aqua2Go Evo
The Aqua2Go Evo is a powerful cordless pressure washer with a large 21-litre water tank. It generates a pressure of up to 60 bar and offers three power levels. According to the manufacturer, the 20-volt battery enables a runtime of 30 to 50 minutes, although it only lasted around 15 minutes in the test. The scope of delivery includes various nozzles and an attachment for cleaning agents. In the test, the Aqua2Go impressed with its high pressure and infinitely adjustable nozzle. Points of criticism were the lack of a folding handle for transport and the lack of a battery indicator.
Ryobi EZClean
With the Ryobi EZClean You get a powerful cordless cleaner that effortlessly removes even nasty dirt. We liked the fact that the Ryobi draws water from various sources and can therefore be used very flexibly. Less convincing is the battery performance: the replacement battery has to be used after just over eight minutes. Even after the first cleaned bike, the gun with integrated battery and motor feels heavy in the hand and the long lance sits wobbly in the holder. For the rather sporty price of 279 euros, we would also have liked a slightly higher quality finish.
