Electric & Gas Pressure Washers

Gas pressure washers are more powerful and can operate at a higher PSI than most electric pressure washers. They also allow for more mobility compared to electric power washers, which have to be plugged in. Electric power washers require very little maintenance and are good for light to medium jobs, whereas gas pressure washers are ideal for heavier jobs but require regular maintenance.

What is a good PSI pressure washer for home use?

The amount of pressure needed will vary on the type of materials and surfaces you want to clean. For most home projects, you can use a pressure washer set to 1,300 to 2,400 PSI.

What size pressure washer do I need to wash my house?

When it comes to choosing the best power washer for your home projects, it will depend on the job. For smaller jobs, such as washing your car or cleaning your lawn equipment, you’ll want a light-duty pressure washer. If you’re cleaning your garage floor, driveway, or fence, you can use a medium-duty pressure washer. For bigger jobs, such as stripping old paint off a deck, you can use a heavy-duty pressure washer.
