1. PSI (pounds per square inch)
\n2. GPM (gallons per minute)
\n3. Motor strength
\n4. Durability
\n5. Design and maneuverability
\n6. Ease of start up
\n7. Hose length
\n8. Loudness

Pressure Washer Buying Guide<\/h2>\n

So you want to buy a pressure washer to keep your patio, vehicle, walkways, or house siding looking new and sparkling clean. The next step is choosing a pressure washer that\u2019s right for you and your specific needs. Let\u2019s look at some specific points you should consider.<\/p>\n

Gas or Electric<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most people will tell you that gas-powered pressure washers are better for heavy duty cleaning tasks. They have a great deal more power than electric models. They also use much more water, up to 2 or 3 GPM. If you don\u2019t feel like maintaining a gas model, or if you prefer a less expensive, quieter pressure washer, then an electric-powered model might be the better choice. Just be aware that it\u2019s better suited for lighter tasks.<\/p>\n

PSI and GPM<\/strong><\/p>\n

You know that by multiplying the PSI (pounds per square inch) and the GPM (gallons per minute), you get the CU (the cleaning unit), or cleaning power of the pressure washer. Here\u2019s a breakdown of the different grades of pressure washers, and which kind you should seek out depending on your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\nPSI<\/strong><\/td>\nGPM<\/strong><\/td>\nTasks<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Consumer Grade Electric Models<\/strong><\/td>\n1,300\u20131,800<\/td>\nMax 1.5<\/td>\nLight, occasional jobs<\/p>\n
