There are some things I can't really follow in life. Poorly seasoned food, the technique of refusing to connect, but above all it's a dirty bike that drives me to the wall. I live in a flat and am not blessed with outdoor taps, and had to do with buckets and sponges until earlier this year. Coincidentally, I stumbled upon these mini Karcher jet washes and I can't explain how easy they made my life. 

Actually, here's the spoilers: they're so good because they're in my gear for the year that hasn't been written yet. If you live in a flat, or simply don't want to spend the top dollar on a full-power jet wash, this is the deal for you. In fact, OC3 is better than a full-size jet wash.If you point it in the wrong direction, the bearing will never be destroyed.

I use mine at least three times a week. I've tried others from Mobi in the past but they didn't work very well. Simply fill the small tank on top, charge it all now and then and spray it away. It is powerful enough to remove crud and makes it a breeze to rinse off the soap after proper washing. What's more, since you don't rely on main power supplies, you can chuck it in your car to give your bike pre-clean before you leave the road!

The standard OC3 tanks offered in the UK are large enough to wash particularly nasty bikes. The OC3Plus features a 2x capacity tank that is offered in the US and is suitable if you have multiple bicycles. The tank itself pops off the main unit for easy refilling, too.

Honestly, I love these little yellow cubes, and so does my bike. And so will your nasty dog.
