A pressure washer is a high-powered device used for removing dirt, mud, and leaves from patios, garages, and parking lots in the shortest possible time. It is run by a motor powered by electricity or gas that emits hot or cold water from a long hose using water pressure reaching 4,000 psi (pounds per square inch). It can be skid mounted, trailer rigged, or portable. It is available in electric, gas, hot, and cold models.
Child safety lock: Choose a pressure washer with a built-in child safety lock on the trigger gun to prevent children from accidentally opening it. A pressure washer produces a high water pressure that can injure your child especially if the water is hot. GPM rating: Choose a pressure washer with a high GPM (gallon per minute) rating (3 GPM or higher) that cleans more ground area in a short amount of time. Water tank capacity: For commercial use, choose a pressure washer with a water tank capacity of 200 gallons or more that can wash down multiple driveways without refilling. Fuel: For flexibility and convenience, get a pressure washer that can run on both gasoline and diesel.
Storage box: Look for a pressure washer with a built-in storage box where you can keep nozzles, spare parts, and other cleaning tools handy.
Hose reel: Choose a pressure washer that can be used with a standard garden hose or high pressure hose so you can use your existing 100-foot garden hose for cleaning. Detergent injector: Choose a pressure washer that uses a before- or after-the pump injection method that combines high pressure water with chemical cleaners like detergents for effectively removing caked mud or rotten leaves.
