Choosing the Right Pressure Washer

It's normal for homeowners to find themselves having a hard time deciding which pressure washing equipment to buy. There are a lot of models to choose from ranging from portable electric washers to huge, gasoline-powered high-pressure washing equipment. Clearly, choosing which unit to purchase can understandably turn out to be quite the dilemma.

If you plan to do power washing occasionally, a small electric model will suffice. However, if you expect to do it frequently, you'll need the extra power that only gas-powered pressure washers provide. Of course, you'll have to pay more for a gas-powered washer, but its durability will make it the more cost-effective option in the long run.

A good strategy when choosing the right pressure washer size is to step up to the next model with a higher capacity, from the equipment you deem ideal for the job. Following this tip affords a bit of assurance that your pressure washer will be able to handle bigger cleaning jobs that may come up in the future.

One important reminder before you get started with pressure washing—don't get carried away. Until you become familiar with the equipment, set it at low. You'll quickly learn that using a little pressure is enough to go a long way. Increase the power slowly until you get a good grip of the equipment and its full capacity.
