School me on pressure washers

[ctom87]

Good choice, Just a tip I was told long ago (not sure if it's true or not but I do it anyway) never let the pump run more then 3 minutes without letting the pressure off the gun.

Thanks for the tip!

As far as the pressure vs paint on cars, it has more to do with the tip you use than the pressure of the machine.

True to a point. I think it is a combination of how close you are to what you are cleaning, Plus the pressure and tip.

Went to electric, due to not running the gas one often enough !
It never wanted to run when needed.

Buy once cry once cry once.
I wouldn’t buy anything less than 3,500 psi with a Honda gx motor.
Imo Electric sucks.

I use all electrics anymore. The cords suck but I haven’t had one fail to start because of gummed up gas. My people don’t have to pull start them so even little girls can plug them in and get after it.

They make beefy electric ones if you want to spend the money.

I have a Ryobi electric that is going on 5 years old. No issues and is it a few times a month. They have the discs at Home Depot for sidewalks and driveways, wish I’d have known about them years ago. Mine is somewhere around 2200-2400 psi and it does everything I need it to do.

This is the one I have, I use it for simple things around the house. It’ll clean the driveway, cars, brick, and other small tasks. By no means is it a commercial unit but for the price and tasks I use it for I’m happy with it.
