What's the best pressure washer you've used? I'm planning to buy one to clean certain areas where trash is kept and where there's often grease and food waste, but I have no idea which would be the best option.
>>2983602>best pressure washerim guessing if youre asking this question here you arent in the market for aheated mi t m or landa 10gpm v twin honda or a 100a 480v 25hp electric with a flash coil
>>2983602>What's the best pressure washer you've used?first you're an idiot for wanting to know what the "best" is. there is no best.second most people only use one or 2 pressure washers in their life so no one can tell you what the "best" is.

They go from piece of shit 100psi electric units to truck sized monsters that can rip through concrete.Budget?
>>2983640For most people a ~4.0gpm at ~4000 psi or thereabouts is all they would ever need. 6.5 hp engine powered triplex piston pump. Avoid axial pumps at all costs, they are value engineered dogshit in my experience...
>>2983602power washer and pressure washer are different things
>>2983690for most people a sub $200 sunjo is more than sufficient
>>2983602a kärcher, of course.
>>2983782I will second this, mine has a decent Honda motor on it as well.
>>2983602get a triplex pump. get gas and a triplex pump.you need to service your pump else it dies. I gone the 100 dollar ones got em replaced every year and i just clean my concrete slab weekly. I went electric cause i use it weekly and don't wanna deal with gas every time and it running out and stuff, so a yearly oil change for pump.You should always go more gpm, you can control psi
>>2983921there are better made electric ones but then your limited by outlet amps pic related cost about the same as gas unit tho and you get less gpm and psi compared to gas unit
Anyone ever use one of these $50 chineseium ones you stick in a bucket? I was thinking of getting one to wash the salt and dirt off my car and van in the winter. They say they go up to 600 psi but we all know thats a lie.
>>2983956Those are great for misting your houseplants, and washing the grill off. But they're pretty useless otherwise.
>>2983602I've used tons of different pressure washers.I like electric, but their underpowered for the price. A 3000psi electric is a light duty go to for me.If you need heavy duty go gas. But it's annoying as fuck doing maintenance. But if your cleaning like industrial grease from a restaurant go gas. Aside from that it probably doesn't fucking matter.. all pressure washers are basically the same.It probably really comes down to gas vs electric and not much else.
>>2983965I use a Westinghouse I got from like Menards.
I like it well enough. I really recommend one of the surface cleaner pads. Bro those are a game changer.
>>2983640Please don't tell me there is a power washing community....like you guys have preferred engines and shit?
I'm seriously thinking about going and getting some 3-53 Detroit powered "water blasters" for sale on craigslist... Not much into I can find on them. Metal tag states 12,000 psi. Price is nice. Look to have the correct engines that match some Michigan loaders I own. Worst part is its a several your drive and near the city. Probably wouldn't ever use them for their intended purpose, but rather as spare engine parts.
