This was so much better explained than any other video! I wasn't expecting it to actually be so instructional and informative. Great job.
Just bought once of these , should be here this week ! Great demonstration and well explained, good work
I've been considering the karcher k2 and this for a long time now. This seems perfect for my weekly bike wash. Extremely informative and useful!
Thanks a lot Shubham. 🙂 When I was intending to purchase a pressure washer, Karcher K2 was in contention. Since Bosch had a great customer support network, I went with this one.
Thank you for taking the time to do this review. Having just ordered one it fills me confidence I made the correct choice having had karcher in the past and broke after a little use. Thank you sir 👍🏻
Thank you. I found the explanation about appropriate nozzle settings for the car particularly helpful.
Very helpful and informative video.
Enabled me to go for the purchase!
Thanks a lot 👍🏽
Ive been on the wall wrt to getting this one. Your video was just perfect - answered all of the questions i had in mind. This is now on the way!
Thanks for a great review + user guide!
@@GaneshBalan one question: what do i need other than what comes out of the box ? I assume the inlet hose-pipe is not included. what about the hose-connector(s) if i need to draw water from a bucket?
If you’re drawing water from a bucket, you don’t need anything else. Just the hose’s end needs to be immersed in water so keep some deadweight attached to the end to ensure it is always submerged so the hose doesn’t come out during washing. It’ll end up sucking air and the motor will run dry which you should avoid.
Other than that you’ll need an electrical extension cord if you don’t have a 16A socket where the unit will be connected to and Bosch’s outlet hose extension. The supplied line is a wee bit short.
Mate your video is excellent I'm thinking about buying one and you have shown everything I need, thankyou
Thanks for detailed review, help me a lot. Decided to get Aquatak 145 after saw your review
This video is very informative. Explained all the aspects of the machine in detail. Thank you Sir
Grata video my friend!!! I have the 135. Same thing! Tomorrow will be my first car washing at home. Your video answered all my questions.
God bless 👏🏻🤝🏻
Great detail thank you so much!!! Took all I'd the guess work out for me 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for sharing nice informative video and covered each and every piece of information and help me to order this without any confusion. appreciate your efforts
Thank you sir for the detailed explanation and for the tips... really appreciate it
Close to 1000. Congrats in advance
Man you nailed it with every possible detail. Thanks.
Thanks Vivek. 🙂 Appreciate the feedback. You are the not the same Rockfella from TE (techenclave forums)?
👍👍 nice video very interesting no loud music well explained and you did it on english its very good for us who dose'nt understans hindi keep it up 👍👍
Excellent review! I've really been struggling with the detergent container - now I know its not me! Thank you
I saw the whole video and i must say it was a very interesting video, you've explained everything to detail and for that you deserve my sub my friend 👍
Great review. Thank you
Очень нужное видео. Спасибо огромное за информацию. Купила этот аппарат и не знаю что с ним делать. Оказывается нужно заказать ещё и шланг, переходник и прочее. Теперь знаю как это работает, благодаря вас! Ещё раз спасибо❤
I can feel your genuineness.. simply wow bro. Palakkad ano! Didn’t see any you tubers this much down to earth person. Mostly I skip the walk around thing. But your video keep me watching every single sec.. and once again.. it’s simply woww… take a bow brother
Haha thank you bro. 😄 Athe nammude swantham Palakkad thanne. 🤘🏻Palakkad aano swadesham?
@@GaneshBalan I used to come there a lot brother. My first step into Kerala is at Palakkad( Parali gramam) only. Now settled in Thiruvananthapuram. 😍
Awesome man. I’ve lived in Trivandrum for some time during my childhood when parents used to work there. Lovely place. Ambrosia bakery, Zam-Zam, Kowdiar - so many good memories of Trivandrum. 🥲
This is the only video among so many pressure washer reviews that mentions the power plug (16A) the unit uses.👏
Edit: Does the unit require regular oil change?
Hi Anup, thanks for the feedback. 🙂
There’s no oil change requirement indicated in the manual.
THANK YOU😻😻😻🎈🎈🎈🧸🧸🧸👍👍👍
Mate, brilliant video. I decided to invest in the Aquatek 120, as a first time user I did struggle to get a proper flow of water as it kept breaking up and pressure wasn’t maintained and eventually the machine would not switch on. Have returned and asked for a replacement, wil go for the 125 as it seems much more reliable.
Sorry to hear that Abhirama. Trust you read through the user manual properly. Ensure that you turn on the machine after opening the inlet to the water supply.
@@GaneshBalan ah that’s a good point, might’ve missed that trick. Hopefully I get a replacement soon with shipments super slow in the UK.
All the best man. Glad to hear you’re watching this from the UK. Appreciate your feedback too. 🙂
You should let the water to flow constantly first by just pressing the gun before turning on the machine. It ensures there is no air inside the hose. Once water constantly flows, you can now start using the machine.
Thanks, the video is very helpful. Can we use the water gun without the extension pipe. I.e. does the nozzle connects directly to the gun?
Hi Well explained .. i also brought Bosch 135, but the machine is stopping after 3-4 min and again after machine running with sound no water pressure working .. this became on and off .. may be faulted machine .. so returned.. your machine can continuously work or getting stopped in between ?
Hi Vasu, sorry to hear this. Might be a one off issue but regardless, please don’t keep the unit running for over 5-8 minutes continuously. It overheats the built in motor.
Great video sir. Can you please tell if I can use a bucket with pipe as an inlet instead of direct tap connection?
Hi Arvind, thank you for the feedback. Yes, you can use a bucks and the unit will draw water from it. Ensure that it doesn’t go dry during usage.
Use swirling mode around tyres and underbody. If paranoid about pensil mode
I am yet to find a use case for the swirling mode. It’s mostly the low pressure jet or the high pressure jet. The high pressure jet works well to dislodge the dirt in the wheel wells.
Thanks for the lovely review. I dont have a 16amp socket at the desired place for using washer. Why cant i use a converter socket 5 to 16 amp types
Please use an extension from a 16A socket. Don’t use a 6A socket and convert it to a 16A one simply because it is not meant to take higher loads. At best 600-800W max. Like a mixer grinder.
I bought one aquatak 125 just yesterday .Was using an aquatak 100 for a long time and it has packed up , no spares available so bought the 125 . On the 100 I had a 70 degree nozzle with which I could reach under the car and wheel well . Dont you require one ? They sell a 90 degree bend as a separate attachment .
Hi Sanjoy, the inverted nozzle is a good addon especially for washing the underbody and one must have it with their pressure washing kit. I did not opt for one when I bought mine. It doesn’t come with the Aquatak 125 model. If you can buy one, nothing like it.
How can we reduce pressure by nozzle or otherwise to use for AC cleaning? Any way?
Thank you
There’s no pressure adjustment setting other than the 3 modes. Adjusting the inlet water’s pressure does not affect the outlet pressure. The pump inside boosts the pressure automatically. For AC condenser/evaporator coil cleaning, use the low pressure mode or the rotary mode. It won’t damage the coil.
Very informative video. Thanks. I've just a question, what's the recommended duration (minutes) per use, as I was told it cant be use continuously as it'll over heat.
Hi thanks Skyler. There’s no set time period between running the unit. I just stick to say 10 minutes tops but it’ll easily be below that considering rinsing the car, washing it down, washing the wheel wells etc takes less than 10 minutes.
can you please make a video giving suggestion on which car wash machine is best to buy cause im planing to buy
Hi Darkhorse, I haven’t tested any other units bro; so no clue about the performance and reliability of other units. Really sorry about that. ☹️
Brother kindly add ( link to purchase ) details about m j j c snow foam Lance,
Bro, really sorry. I sourced the snow foam lance from Aliexpress and now it is banned in India. I couldn’t add the link thus. ☹️
Check out this one from VMTC:
amzn.eu/d/9bSH0kS
Can this unit able to jet spray continuesly over 1 hour non stop?
No man. That would over heat the motor inside. Best to use it in breaks to prolong the life of the unit. I may have used it continuously for 10 minutes at a stretch max.
I am getting a slight burned smell after using the machine for about 4-5 mins. Is that normal?
Hi Navaneeth, yes we do get a smell sometimes. I insist to not use the machine continuously for over 8-10 mins and give the inbuilt motor a break so it cools down.
What about under the body cleaning?
Since the underbody was not mucky, I did not clean it this time. You could judge the state of the soiled car from 06:56 onwards.
For underbody washing, there’s a special 90 degree attachment that Bosch retails which attaches to the lance in place of the nozzle. That would be helpful. I’ve shared the link below:

One small doubt brother,tell me the water tap to nd machine water supply connect pipe size
Hi, Great Video! does any MJJC foam canon work? could you share a link? Thanks.
Hi Michael, you need to buy the right adapter for the MJJC foam bottle. Different washers have different attachments. Like Karcher has a different attachment compared to Bosch’s washer.
I got mine from aliexpress but it is now banned in India. We have other alternatives available locally. Where are you based?
Best review available ♥️🔥..btw can i keep it always in ready to use situation (without disconnecting the pipes) in safe and dry place?? Will it damage the connection or something? Please reply sir...
Hi, it is not recommended to keep the hoses connected to the unit. Please disconnect the hoses, clean the unit after the wash using a microfibre cloth and keep it in a dry place like a store.
@@GaneshBalan thnx for reply, i recently bought this machine and the quality is really gud👍🏻
Have fun washing! Please take care not to run the machine continuously to avoid overheating. 👍🏻
If you link all the products in the description it would be so helpful
Hi Ravi, thanks for the feedback. Will do it right away and will take care of it for any such videos in the future.
Hay ganesh, Hope the washer is still as good as new . Any changes to hose or service(oil change) done to the motor ? The local dealer here in Chennai was kind enough to give me an explanation and teach me the nuances of usage. Looking forward to this weekend’s cleaning . Thanks for the excellent video
Hello Ganesh (from another Ganesh!), the unit works well - no complaints and no replacements to any of the parts yet. The unit is used like 5-6 times a year as it is located at my hometown in Palakkad. No issues so far *touchwood*.
@@GaneshBalan nice to know ! Used it for the first time today, cleaned my car and my motorcycles in just 2 hours and mighty impressed. Forget the cleaning efficiency, I actually had energy left to wax and polish the machines too in Chennai summer, now that’s something. Felt like I was living in the Stone Age all this while . Worth the investment. Stay safe and take care 🤘🏽
Thanks for the video 👍🏻 do you have a link for the MJJC lance?
Hey Thomas, sorry bro. I got it from Aliexpress back then. Now we don’t get shipments from Aliexpress to India so I did not post a link to it.
Can we use this pressure washer for ac fins cleaning ? Can we adjust its pressure according to need?
Absolutely. Just don’t use the high pressure mode which will damage the fins on the condenser or evaporator. The other 2 modes are perfect. 👍🏻
@@GaneshBalan ok sir. And someone also suggesting that use 360 gun for lowering the pressure 🤔.
@@AftabAmanullah Not required. Just don’t use the high pressure mode. It will certainly damage the fins.
Hi sir... How is your long term experience with bosche 125...Can i purchase it ... Is it worthy...kindly give a opinion
Hi Alam. I’ve had a great experience with the Bosch unit. No complaints so far. I must have extensively used it for at least 25 - 30 washes now. To extend the life of the motor, it is recommended to use the unit in breaks and not continuously. This will prevent the unit from getting heated up.
That said, there are cheaper induction motor based pressure washers available now in the market which is much more compact. But I haven’t used one so cannot comment on the performance or reliability of these units.
Is this product gud or any other better options?
The Aquatak 125 is good for most home users. By better if you mean, more pressure from the output, you really don’t need something that high to strip the dirt off your car. There are cheaper induction motor based washers now available in the market with a 1 year warranty. I haven’t personally used one so cannot comment on the reliability aspect.
FOR CAR WASHING CENTRE. CAN I USE THIS OR BUY A COMMERICIAL ONE?
Hi, I would recommend using a commercial pressure washer driven by a compressor not motor. Since it will be run continuously, these motor based washers can get overheated and will get damaged soon.
@@GaneshBalan kya ap ek acha commercial pressure washer brand mereko bata sakte hein. mereko idea nahi hai sir
Adipoli shambavam chetta… I am from Tamil Nadu most of the videos are coming in Hindi… it’s dam irritating.. Thank you for posting the video in English… 👏👏👌
@@andicampbell8621 Woah! Never thought that name belonged to a fellow mallu. 😂
@@GaneshBalan Haha sorry to disappoint you but am Scottish born and bred. Have worked with many lovely people from Kerala over the years though. Take care buddy.
Haha awesome man (or mate just like how you guys put it? 😁). Good to know. Tc bud.
I’m deliberating between purchasing the Bosch or Wilks, have you tried that brand?
Hi Zakariya, I haven’t tried any other brand for pressure washers other than Bosch. We have supplied some pressure washers to naval ships. Those were of Karcher but haven’t received any feedback from the staff yet.
It would have been good to see the pressure intensity if you could have used it as concrete cleaning as well.
I’ve shown the part where the flow is directed to the patio on the parking area and it is removing the green algae. Please check.
It is very effective on concrete surfaces. We’ve used it to clean the patio and walls laden with bird droppings, before we undertook the painting work. Just be careful to use it in breaks to avoid the machine overheating.
how about 130.. be better or 125 is good enough?
130 bar will have a higher output pressure. It’ll be an equally capable unit. Go ahead. 👍🏻
Mjjc link to buy??
Hi, I sourced the MJJC foam lance from Aliexpress. Aliexpress is now banned in India. If you’re from India, get this instead:
amzn.eu/d/7O1Ygnf
Use tap connector instead of plug in to tap
Hi T R, comments with links are automatically deleted by UA-cam. Looks like you sent some comment; I can’t see it!
Be Careful that your High Pressure Hose is not in contact with any sharp object like steps where the hose will get worn-out and you may end up with a hose burst if this does happen do not discard the high pressure hoes find a place where people fix a connector Joint which cost about Rs.300 instead of spending on a new High pressure hose.
Good suggestion Trevor - I’ve also brought this out in my video wherein I’ve mentioned to avoid any kinks in the hose during operation. These bends or kinks will lead to the hose getting ruptured at that point.
Small man disadvantage, has to climb onto wheel to wash the top, just like me...
I am 160 cm (5foot2) but I do that for both my cars, especially for my 2005 Suzuki Ignis 4x4. No way I could wash the top otherwise.
What is the price
Back in Aug 2018 when I purchased it from Amazon during a Lightning Deal sale, it was Rs 10400. Now it is priced at Rs 10,345.
Is it working good?
I haven’t used it for more than 5-6 minutes with a burst. Give it breaks and the equipment will last longer. Use it continuously, the motor will get heated up and the coil will get burnt.
14:26 you edited the video and kept refilling the bottle...same shit ,bigger bottle.
Haha no dude. You see a cut in the video there but trust me, it’s the same bottle and the same contents I had filled before. Jeez, where do all these hatred stuff come from. 😆
@@GaneshBalan no hate.. look at the bottle it gets magicaly filled 14:26
Matlab bosch pipe nahi deta sath me ,alag se lena padta hai
Haan bro, extension pipe lena padega. Ek piece pipe milega but length kam padegi.
Great video and showing the unit, Bosch should pay you for this effort. It is easy to follow, you show everything we need to know and the demonstration is all I needed to help make the decision to purchase one.
Hi, thanks a lot for the feedback. Really appreciate it. 🙂
