Electric or Gas Options?
Most models run either on gas or electric power. Electric options are quieter and cleaner and start with single button touch. They are lightweight and powerful enough to complete most garden and home pressure washing tasks. The only downside is you have to plug your pressure washer into an electrical outlet, which could limit your mobility.
Gas-powered pressure washers are heavier and more powerful and are suitable for professional use. These heavy-duty machines generate enough power to clean large commercial and industrial spaces. They are also more mobile and efficient although they are quite demanding to maintain.
Water Flow and Pressure Rates
Pressure washers dispense water at varying pressure rates, mostly measured in gallons per minute with a pounds per square inch or PSI. Units with higher PSI have superior cleaning and rinsing capabilities.
The water flow rate in pressure washers depends on the engine or motor size. So for gas-powered washers, check the horsepower while in electric models, you should check the watt rating.
Type of Pressure Washer
You will need to choose between light-duty, medium-duty, and heavy-duty pressure washers. Light-duty models are cheaper and low in power. They have shorter hoses and can only handle light cleaning jobs, including lightly soiled garden furniture, paving, cars, and more. These units make more noise and don’t last long.
Medium-duty pressure washers are more powerful than their light-duty counterparts. They generate mid-range water pressure essential for handling medium-range domestic cleaning tasks. These models are usually easier and quicker to use alongside having good cleaning abilities.
Heavy-duty pressure washers are the most expensive models with a range of impressive features. They run on more powerful engines or motors that generate enough power to handle complex cleaning jobs, including commercial and four-wheel-drive vehicles. In addition, they usually have heavy-duty aluminum pumps, telescopic handles, robust cleaning accessories, and bigger wheels.
