Pressure washers are usually large, heavy and cumbersome. However, the Pico from Hozelock weighs just over 7 kg, and is compact enough to fit in a locker or take down to the boat easily. Although small, the aluminium motor provides a maximum of 140 bar and comes with a 6m long, 6.5mm diameter high-pressure hose. Simply plug the hose in to a normal 1/2 inch hose (not a folding one, though), connect it to 240v, switch both power and water on and you’ll have a salt and grime free deck in no time. The Pico comes with a two-year manufacturing guarantee, a range of attachments and has wheels for easy manoeuvrability.
