Looking for something to keep on the boat
Best small jet wash

We have a small rechargeable Worx jetwash, now at home. It's fairly gentle, cleans green off decks (and more recently algae off the plastic greenhouse). Not much use for cleaning patios or, probably, hull fouling.

We had a jetwash onboard our old boat but rarely used it, hosepipe and brush seemed more effective for us. Don't have a jetwash on new boat.

I just bought a AGURI P40 Power Clean cordless pressure washer...I’ve been looking for ages for a powerfulish battery powered washer...just so tired of lugging things around, plugging them in and having to keep repositioning them...the cordless ones are all in one, just a lance and trigger...so easy to store. Obviously they don’t have the same power...so now that cordless ones can be 40 bar, it’s halfway between the smallest 240v units and a hose. The other great attraction is the hose pipe ban...which no one else seems to care about.
Anyhow, Aguri had some good reviews online and they are nice people to do business with. I have tested in the driveway and was impressed...the wife jet washed the boat (I was on bucket duty...two buckets makes it very efficient)...she really liked it and the boat was cleaned easily. The battery has a very long life and can do the entire job. It’s approximately £160 in the UK with battery (we ordered it directly from Aguri with two batteries). It’s a little bit cheaply made in places but seems robust enough....I can’t swear to its longevity but we are enjoying it so far

Had a Kärcher K2 on mine ... at season start, it cleaned stubborn dirt off quite well, also blasted off a few bits I'd rather have kept so just be careful where you point it.

I've got one of these. Great for cleaning muddy anchor chain and anchor, shifting guano before it gets too hard and cleaning green crud off decks.
It'll suck water up from over the side, and as long as you rinse it through with some fresh afterwards it should come to no harm.

What is it

A Worx jetwash, as mentioned in the post I quoted. Comes with two batteries which last a lot longer than I expected.

I started that thread and it produced some very helpful replies.
I would probably have bought the battery powered washer you recommended but I couldn't find one near me in Brittany.
I ended up buying a Parkside PHD 110 E1 from LIDL in Muzillac. It cost 49.90euros, is quite light and works well.
It doesn't have any suction pump, which was something I wanted, but it turned out that I was allowed to use the marina fresh water supply after all.

I imported mine from the UK...there isn’t a French distributor that I could find

I wanted it quickly, without having to pay import duty.
If hadn't been for that disastrous political decision of which we dare not speak in the YBW cloisters, I could have had one sent out to France.
