'No hassle' Kärcher foldable washer is perfect for cleaning patios and tools
The new OC3 Foldable from Karcher is a compact cleaner that can be used as a bike cleaner or a tool washer to clean off mud and dirt after messy gardening work
Karcher has unveiled a versatile portable cleaner, the OC3 Foldable, which eliminates the need for cumbersome garden hoses. This compact mobile cleaner can carry up to eight litres of water, making it perfect for on-the-go use.
Not only does it function as a watering can, but also serves as a bike cleaner or a pet washer, ideal for removing mud and dirt after camping or hiking trips. The flat jet nozzle dispenses water at a gentle, low pressure, making it suitable for pet owners looking to quickly clean their muddy dogs.
The bucket can be swiftly folded down to a compact size, making it easy to store in a car boot or garden shed. To operate the Karcher OC3 Foldable, simply charge up the device and fill it with water and you're good to go.
Powered by a lithium-ion battery that can be charged via USB, this cleaner is ready for use anytime, anywhere. It even features an LED display to show the water level and users said a full charge lasts for 20 to 30 minutes of use.
Providing a solution for quick and convenient cleaning, the product has received positive reviews from shoppers who appreciate its versatility. One happy customer said: "I love how portable it is as well. No cables hanging around everywhere and I used to clean the patio and was great to get rid of mud and grass off my boots.", reported Chronicle Live.
A car owner, described it as a "game-changer", adding: "Is it a game changer... absolutely, I don't have the luxury of a driveway or access to water near the car, so it's a bucket and sponge job to give it a wash down, which, let's face it, is hassle. Will I wash the car more often now? Hell yes. This little jet pack is not too harsh and is too cool and easy to use to deny my car the luxury."
However, some individuals deducted a star because they found the cleaner a bit noisy to the point where "my dog took some time to get used to it", but it worked perfectly to clean shoes.
"Amazing piece of equipment. I recently went to a music festival and mine and my partners shoes got absolutely destroyed in mid. The Karcher was the ideal tool to get the mud off quickly and efficiently. An extremely handy device to be able to take on the go. I love this," the reviewer added.
Garden enthusiasts declared it worked "brilliantly" for maintaining their vegetable beds and cleaning stones walls and conservatory.
One customer expressed his delight using it to spruce up his garden furniture and said it's a "nice upgrade" from the old version, adding: "I had used the old one for washing my dog after a muddy walk, however this new version holds a lot more water and so is suitable for cleaning shoes after I've cleaned the dog and hosing down the patio area which is muddy after I've cleaned him and my shoes."
The Karcher website lists the item for sale at £139.99, but aside from Karcher, the Coselena 5L Garden Sprayer is an easily transportable high-pressure sprayer equipped with a carrying strap and adjustable spray, a perfect fit for those in need of a potent spray.
The Bosch Fontus Bike Pressure Washer boasts greater capacity than the OC3 Foldable, and its pressure can be adjusted via three settings on the spray gun nozzle. It can be purchased on Currys for £279.
