Pressure washer recommendations


Recommended Posts

Posted

Beatrice should be coming home this weekend. Decided first thing I wanna do before it gets too cold is wash her down well, and try to get rid of 10 years worth of grime build up on her due to being left "abandoned" in a field . Never bought a pressure washer up until now. Been looking thru marketplace. I want to try and get something "good" that will hold up in the future and that I can also use to clean the exterior house walls, wooden decks, concrete slabs, gutters, etc..

I'm partial to DeWalt,  just because I like yellow :roflmao:

Seriously though guys, what should I look for?

 

Gas powered?

Brand?

PSI?

Anything else anyone recommends?

 

All opinions welcome and appreciated!

Thnaks!

Gas over electric, and the highest pressure and flow you can afford.  I think they are all very similar as far as build goes.  Motor pump and a hose, not much to them.  I purchased a Coleman(?) Several years ago from tsc. Honda motor on it, the whole unit has been a home run. I'd buy another today if needed.

I've had a couple gas units and been happy with them but with the cost of fuel and the maintenance on them for seasonal use I gave an electric unit a try.

 

6-7 years later our ryobi unit from home depot still does the job! Psi not accurate to my machine but thats the essential unit.

I got one from Costco years ago for a solid price. Mine is gas and I prefer gas over electric, but that's me. I've been snagging some of vevor's stuff lately and for the price hard to beat but not everything ahs been great of theirs.

End of the season so some times can find clearance deals at lowes and home depot 

As for specs at least 2000 psi, gas or electric (I've had better luck with gas),  tecumsech, honda, yamaha, honda, briggs and stratton all good engines.
