Cleanliness is next to godliness, or so they say. So if you don’t want the Supreme Being passing judgement on your scruffy patio, this presumably means that a godly life demands a tidy garden. But if “they” are right that must make Bosch’s AQT 40-13 a holy relic of rare sanctity, as there are few more effective ways of tackling tough cleaning jobs outside the home and around the garden than with this powerful cold water pressure washer. And since this hardworking yet user-friendly machine is ideal for just about any domestic cleaning job imaginable, the AQT 40-13 makes a great investment whether or not you’re worried about what divine beings might think of your garden.

Powered via a hardworking 1900W electric motor, the AQT 40-13 is capable of delivering a maximum flow rate of up to 400 litres per hour at a pressure of 130 bar. This makes it possible to clean everything from windows and decking to bikes and large cars, with an easy-to-use detergent system included for increased cleaning power when dealing with greasy stains or oily equipment. Being powered via the mains also means that the AQT 40-13 is quieter and cleaner running than you might expect, with a clever auto-stop mechanism included to boost efficiency by automatically stopping the pump and motor when the trigger is released.

Perhaps the AQT 40-13’s biggest selling point, however, is its versatility. In large part this is due to the impressive range of accessories it can boast, with quite the array of attachments supplied as standard in addition to a 6m length of high-pressure PVC hose. This includes both a flat nozzle and a high-pressure nozzle designed for use with detergents, along with a Roto-Power spray lance and a deluxe patio cleaner for effective cleaning on flat surfaces. Bosch’s high-pressure spray gun, meanwhile, sits comfortably in the hand for complete control while you work. And switching between attachments is simple, with a “Click and Go” SDS quick-connect system providing a leak-free connection while also enabling quick changeover when moving from one job to another.

As such you can quickly customise the AQT 40-13 for optimal performance regardless of the task at hand, while a range of additional features extend this level of convenience to the rest of the user experience. The inclusion of large, smooth-running wheels and an adjustable carry handle, for instance, makes it easy to get the AQT 40-13 to where it is needed. And once you are done the carry handle folds neatly away, combining with an integrated hose management system and an in-built attachment holder to save valuable space when not in use. So if cleanliness is, in fact, next to godliness, then Bosch’s AQT 40-13 might well be the Holy Grail of making routine cleaning tasks effortless. But even if divinity isn’t your thing, the fact that the AQT 40-13 comes complete with a two year manufacturer’s warranty as standard should be enough to make you a believer.
