The Best Pressure Washer Is Within Your Grasp!

Well, you need to tackle some big cleanup jobs - you know you need a good pressure washer, but you don't know which one would be the best one for your needs. How do you choose? We'd like to offer some guidance, and a little advice, to help you make the best possible choice.

Perhaps the first place to start is to think about how often you will need to use your pressure washer, and what you will be cleaning with it. If you will only need to use a pressure washer once a week or less, then you can choose a model designed for homeowner or residential use. On the other hand, if you will be using it more often, then your best bet is to choose a commercial-grade unit.

Also: Consider just what you will be cleaning with your new pressure washer. Will you need to tackle surfaces that are grease or oil-covered? Then you should look into purchase of a steam pressure washer - the steam is really effective in cutting through that greasy gunk. At the very minimum, you will need a pressure washer that heats the water - a cheaper model that uses room temperature water will not be effective on grease and oil.

If you need your pressure washer primarily to clean up your car or deck or sidewalk - then you will find that a unit that develops under 2000 PSI will work just fine.

On the other hand, if you are going to be cleaning things like the brickwork of your home, or a large truck, then you will need a pressure washer that develops a medium pressure of around 2000-3000 PSI.

What about pressure washers that pack a real wallop - they deliver over 3000 PSI? They are for use (primarily) in industrial environments - although some residential users may have a need for them.

In general, the advantage to buying a commercial-grade pressure is that you will have a longer-lasting unit, made with quality components, and a good warranty. Keeping your budget in mind, you should try to buy the very best unit that you can.

A few final recommendations: Don't forget to ask about how your unit will be serviced if it breaks down. Also, make sure that you buy all of the accessories that you will need - many are available, and may not be sold with the unit, but must be purchased separately. Finally, follow safe practices: wear goggles, be careful of hot water, and NEVER point the nozzle at others.
