Kärcher has launched a multipurpose portable cleaner that saved gardeners the hassle of dealing with messy garden hoses. The new OC3 Foldable is a compact mobile cleaner that holds 8 litres of water on the go.
It can be used as a watering can, but also as a bike cleaner or a mobile washer to clean off mud and dirt after a camp or hike. The flat jet nozzle distributes water in gentle, low pressure so pet owners can use it to get mud off their dogs in no time.
The bucket can be folded to a minimum pack size in no time at all, and we love that it can be stored in a car boot or on a shelf in the garden shed. To use the Kärcher OC3 Foldable, simply fill it with water and get started.

The cleaner is powered by a lithium-ion battery, which can be charged via USB and is ready to use anywhere, any time with an LED display to indicate the water level.
Offering a solution for quick cleaning on the go, shoppers gave positive reviews and were happy that it "can be used for any task".
A shopper 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."
One car owner called it a "game-changer" as he explained: "Is it powerful… well, not as powerful as I maybe thought it would be, but it's portable and battery-powered, what did I expect!
"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."
But some people took a star off and said the cleaner was slightly noisy that "my dog took some time to get used to it".
Gardeners said it worked "brilliantly" for watering their vegetable patches and cleaning stone walls and conservatory. It's available to purchase on the Kärcher website for £139.99. A shopper said he enjoyed using it to give his garden furniture a good wash.
Other than Kärcher, the Coselena 5L Garden Sprayer is a portable high-pressure sprayer with a carry strap and adjustable spray, which is good for people looking for a powerful spray.
The Bosch Fontus Bike Pressure Washer holds a larger volume compared to the OC3 Foldable and you can adjust 3 pressure settings using the spray gun nozzle. It's available on Currys for £279.
