Is the Bosch UniversalAquatak 135 worth it?
Yes — for patios, cars and bigger gardens.
It reaches 135 bar from a 1,900 W motor and an all-metal pump, which handles patios, paths, decking, walls and the car. One nozzle twists between pencil, jet and fan sprays, so there's nothing to swap, and the 7 m hose and a carry handle on the front make it easy to work round a garden and lift up steps. Extras like a patio cleaner cost more, and very large areas go quicker with a bigger machine.

How we reached this verdict
BBC Gardeners' World made it a Best Buy: simple, comfortable, powerful and stable, with the longest hose in its test and no nozzles to swap, though accessories are expensive. Gardeningetc found it easy to use, light and quick to switch between cleaning jobs, and suggests a more powerful model for larger gardens.
We compared independent expert reviews with the manufacturer's specifications, then checked it's sold at a major retailer where you live. We don't test products ourselves.
