'VERY HANDY WINTER TOOL'
Strengths:
Will do 2 really mucky bikes on one load,really easy to use,plenty of cable and hose,won't damage your bearings
Weaknesses:
If you try and squeeze as much water as possible into it, it will leak in your boot through the breathe holes in the cap.I suppose it's expensive when you think you could clean you'r bike at home for free but personally i think it's worth every penny.
Overall:
Mine gets hammered in the winter and it cleans the bikes good enough until you get them home to wipe them down with a cloth.Me and all my mates love it and take it with us every time in the winter.

'NEAT IDEA'
Strengths:
The pressure is just fine for cleaning one or two bikes without causing damage to bearings. It works really well and doesn't leak when you transport it. I paid 80 quid from the website which is a lot of outlay but that's about 16 trips to the jetwash. It will pay for itself in 4 months and I'm more likely to clean my bike after the ride.
Weaknesses:
The fitting for the hose could be better and perhaps a bit more power. I have a plastic box that I put my dirtworker and all my cleaning products in but that's not really a weakness just me being tidy.
Overall:
How do you know you have a good product? It stops other bikers in there tracks. I used mine out of the back of the car in Epping and I got about 10 enquiries from other bikers.

If I was the sales manager I would be out at the weekends at popular rides with dirtworker full of water and a sack to take the money home!

'TOP IDEA KEEPS MY CAR CLEAN'
Strengths:
If you want to take your bikes in the car and or clean them staraight after a ride great bit of kit
Weaknesses:
Bit spenny
Overall:
Dirt Worker will clean 2 reasonably dirty bikes fairly clean its easy to use and keeps the inside of my car clean so it does what it says on the tin, Spray is ok for a portable although i worry that the pipe fitting on the gerry can looks a bit weak. Overall good

'FANTASTIC'
Strengths:
its great if you live in a flat and have nowhere to wash your bike (except in the bath). It will clean 2 bikes with 1 full load.
Weaknesses:
Carrying buckets of water downstairs.
Overall:
I love it.

'PORTABLE JET WASHER'
Strengths:
Easy to use, robust, enough pressure to get the muck off, but not enough to blast you bearings clean!
Weaknesses:
Would struggle to do more than three filthy bikes with it - although if that was the plan, I'd carry a spare jerry can full.
Overall:
I've owned a dirtworker for the last six months - excellent bit of kit. Will contain enough water to wash two filthy bikes or three at a push. Just enough pressure to clean wheels and tyres on the fine setting but you can wind the nozzle in order to reduce the pressure - so you don't blow your seals. Useful if you put your bike in the car at the end of a ride, or don't appreciate cleaning a bike that has had the dirt baked on to it after an hour on the roof of the car!
