7 Best Pressure Washers Under £100 of 2024

When we tested the Bosch EasyAquatak 120 High-Pressure Washer it scored top marks in all of our testing criteria: ease of assembly, design, performance and value for money. Here at DIY Garden, we believe it’s undoubtedly one of the best pressure washers under £100 on the market today.

When it comes to assembly, this pressure washer is easy to put together in just a few minutes. It’s a compact machine and the hose and lance can be secured tightly against the washer in storage. It comes with a substantial range of accessories, including a high-pressure gun and two additional nozzles, as well as a wash brush attachment, patio-cleaning attachment and detergent dispenser too.

Performance-wise, this pressure washer works very well. It offers 120 bar of water pressure and 1500W of power, which makes it powerful enough for most tasks around the home. It can be used for cleaning cars, patios, bins and garden furniture. When used with the detergent dispenser nozzle, the cleaning solution is applied evenly and consistently.

Overall, this pressure washer is very easy to use thanks to its lightweight and compact design. The 5 m cable and 5 m hose length allow you to work around a car without struggling. It’s also simple to switch between different attachments, and the water pressure can be adjusted quickly by rotating the fan nozzle head.

The only real downside to this pressure washer is that, for some reason, the component required to connect the hose to the brush attachment needs to be purchased separately. So while the brush is included, you’ll need to make an extra purchase in order to use it as intended.

To conclude, I’d say that this pressure washer is a great option for domestic cleaning jobs. In fact, I can’t think of anything that it wouldn’t be able to tackle. Don’t be fooled by the small and compact design; this pressure washer is incredibly efficient and very versatile too.

The Kärcher K2 Power Control High-Pressure Washer is a model we’re very familiar with having extensively tested it over the past few years. Coming in around £100, it is unquestionably one of the best budget pressure washers on the UK market.

Firstly, there’s no faffing around when it arrives. Assembly takes only 5 minutes, without any tools. All parts connect together very easily and you’re ready to get started.

In terms of design, the iconic Kärcher yellow is modern and reassuring. It’s got robust wheels and an adjustable handle, so whether I’m carting it across the grass or my gravel driveway, it’s easy to move. It’s also got this really neat feature, where a small suction hose at the back can be placed into a bottle of detergent. It sucks it up and mixes it in with the water – cool ay?!

Let’s talk about performance next, because this is really where the K2 beats the competition. What I love most about this model is that you can choose the pressure, from a gentle 20 bar spray (perfect for cleaning my car) to a powerful 110 bar jet which gets my paving looking new again. It’s just so practical and versatile for all my outdoor cleaning requirements, and all at an affordable price point.

Overall, the Kärcher K2 is the perfect domestic pressure washer for those on a budget. I use mine each and every year and always look forward to putting it to work when spring comes around.

The WORX WG620E 18V Cordless Hydroshot Portable Pressure Cleaner is a really innovative and versatile product. As a family, we love the great outdoors. So being about the chuck the Hydroshot in the boot whenever we go hiking or on camping trips is a god-send!

Of course, being rechargeable, it’s never going to be able to expel the power of the mains operated pressure washer. But with a max pressure of 320 psi (which is about 22 bars) it does a brilliant job of cleaning the car, bikes, wheelie bins, muddy boots etc. Consider this more of a softer cleaner that’s portable.

In terms of assembly, it’s very easy to put together. I didn’t even need to look at the instruction manual, all the parts just fit together quite obviously. And with regard to the design, it’s a really neat looking piece of kit. The trigger feels comfortable to pull and the lance is lightweight and easy to direct.

Let’s talk about performance next. Firstly, the battery life. Charging usually takes me just over 3 hours and I’ll get about 30 minutes of action out of it. This is just about enough for a weekend away, and certainly enough for day trips. Despite how covering in mud the kids get!

With regard to cleaning performance, it’s impressively good for a battery powered model. Of course, it’s never going to make an algae covered patio look brand new again, but that’s not what the Hydroshot is for. It’s a handy, versatile pressure washer for all of those smaller jobs.

Overall, this is the best budget cordless model I’ve tested – and if your family is as active outdoors as mine, you’re going to get great use and value out of it.

As a good quality, affordable machine the VYTRONIX PW1500 Electric Pressure Washer is the best pressure washer to buy on a budget. Although all of the products featured here are under £100, the VYTRONIX is the cheapest of the lot.

In terms of performance, it offers 105 bar pressure from a 1500 W motor. Overall, it’s best suited to lighter cleaning jobs. It’s still got enough pressure for cleaning out bins, hosing down bikes, and washing the car, but there is a noticeable difference between this washer and more powerful models. Don’t expect it to be removing dried-on dirt, or years of grime off the patio.

It’s also got more going for it than just its price, and it’s a very simple machine to use as well. It can be put together in 7 minutes and is straightforward to operate. It comes with a lance, spray gun and an adjustable nozzle. There are three spray settings to choose from, ranging from jet to fan, and they’re easy to change between with a quick twist. The 5.87 kg weight also means it can be carried around – which is welcome as there are no wheels.

Another nice touch are the storage hooks on the back of the machine. These allow you to keep the accessories somewhere safe when they’re not being used. Also, like most washers that I’ve recommended, the VYTRONIX has a 5 m hose and 5 m cable.

The only real downside with this washer is that there aren’t many accessories included. For example, there’s no detergent bottle attachment, so any detergent will need to be applied by hand.

Also, it has a single filter, made from plastic. Most other pressure washers have a glass filter, so you can at least see when it’s blocked, meaning this one will need to be checked regularly.

As one of the cheapest electric pressure washers on the market, this is a great option for those with a few lighter jobs to tackle – including patio cleaning or garden furniture washing. It’s simple and easy to use but just doesn’t quite have the same ‘blasting’ power as most other models on this page.

One of the UK’s best known DIY brands, VonHaus have created this VonHaus 1600W Pressure Washer for tough cleaning jobs. It also has the added benefit of being pretty lightweight.

With a simple design, this pressure washer is one of the easiest to use. It has a 5 m cable and hose and limited attachments: it comes with a spray gun and detergent bottle included. Assembly takes 5-10 minutes, so you can get cleaning straight away.

Out of the pressure washers featured here, it has the highest maximum pressure of 135 bar; however, its standard working pressure is 90 bar. Pressure will vary based on input water pressure and other settings, but this washer is certainly more than powerful enough to clean patios, driveways and garden furniture.

It’s also very easy to use. At just under 6 kg, it’s easy to carry around and the 5 m cable and lance provide enough freedom to move around the drive and patio.

Aside from the spray gun and detergent bottle attachment that come included, there aren’t many additional compatible accessories that can be purchased for this machine. Nevertheless, the adjustable spray nozzle offers a good range of pressures.

This is one of the cheapest machines on this list, so you can understand why there might be a few less features than other washers. It doesn’t have a lockable trigger, which means you do need to tightly squeeze the trigger (it’s a little stiff) whilst you are working.

Nevertheless, it’s a great pressure washer option overall that offers a lot of power considering the price. It will be suitable for the majority of domestic tasks – there just aren’t any accessories to help with cleaning gutters etc. – and delivers the power you would expect from a reputable brand like VonHaus.

The Paxcess Electric High Pressure Washer has been designed to take on just about any cleaning job around the home and garden. It works better than many others on the market due to the fact that it can handle water up to 60°C in temperature. It operates at 120 bar pressure which makes it very versatile.

First, in terms of assembly, this pressure washer does require slightly more effort than some – although nothing major – in that a screwdriver is required. Although a little fiddly, overall it still takes just over 10 minutes to put together.

The build quality is very good; there is a brass connection for the hose instead of plastic, which feels more robust. The hose and cable are 6 m each – offering more reach than even the Bosch EasyAquatak- and gives this good manoeuvrability around obstacles like cars in the driveway.

One of the best things about this 1500 W washer is that it can either receive water via a hose connection or, alternatively, draw water from a bucket instead. This sets it apart from a lot of pressure washers, giving the option to use recycled water from, for example, a water butt, instead of adding to the water bill.

It’s also a very simple machine to use, with limited settings and attachments that don’t overcomplicate the process. There’s one spray gun, with one nozzle, and two pressure settings. Then, there’s one additional setting for when you’re using the detergent bottle attachment.

At 7.36 kg, it’s not the lightest machine on the market. But it’s still relatively easy to handle and slightly less likely to get pulled over than other machines.

Any downsides? Well, unlike the Bosch EasuAquatak, the Paxcess only has one filter instead of two. This means you’ll need to check the machine more regularly, to avoid any build ups. Also, as mentioned – there aren’t a lot of accessories included, nor generally available. This might be a positive for some people, and a drawback for others. If you’re after a simple but effective machine, this is one of the best pressure washers under £100. Just don’t expect to be able to buy compatible accessories separately later down the road either.

Overall, what this pressure washers lacks by way of accessories it makes up for in other ways. Its long power cable and nozzle make it easy to use, and it’s also worth considering for the versatility of being able to draw water from a static water source. Plus, there’s the additional benefit that it can be used with warm water up to 60°C.

Portable pressure washers are loved for their convenience, and if you’re after a convenient, lightweight, cordless option, the Norse SK25i Portable Pressure Washer is worth considering.

This battery powered pressure washer weighs just 1.5 kg and has a 4 m hose. Although it has a reasonably modest pressure of 25 bar, it’s still suitable for cleaning bikes, muddy boots, garden tools and cars. It can remove caked on dirt, as well as fresh mud.

In fact, if you were looking for a portable washer that could be used to rinse pets after a muddy walk, this option is actually too powerful.

It also comes with a range of components included; a battery, charger, multi-jet nozzle and detergent bottle. The 4-in-1 nozzle has three angled spray settings to choose from, a narrow 0° jet, a medium 20° fan and a wide 60° spray. Plus, there is an additional ‘turbo’ setting. The turbo is strong enough to remove algae from patios.

Also, as you would expect from a portable washer, it can draw water from any source – whether that’s a bucket, barrel or hose.

So, whilst this isn’t the most powerful on the market, it’s arguably the best pressure washer under £100 in terms of convenience. It can be put together in a couple of minutes, and the water comes out almost instantly. The battery charges in an hour and the battery life is approximately 10 minutes.

If you’re after a good quality portable pressure washer that can be used anywhere this Norse model is a great option to consider.
