Okay, let’s do some comparisons to give you a better perspective. The Sun Joe SPX3501 which is an ultra-powerful 2300 psi electric pressure washer, weighing 46.5 lbs. That’s a significant increase in size, considering it has less cleaning power. It really depends on your needs, but if you want something small and compact then then either Westinghouse models are a good fit. If you want raw power then consider something like the Generac 7122 SpeedWash .
No need for any tools or fiddly assembly, as with many of the others. When assembled, it has a sturdy metal roll-bar design, which is much more solid than the plastic bodies of most other electric models. For reference, a garden hose without a nozzle can flow anywhere from 6 to 10 gallons a minute depending on the hose diameter and water pressure. Weight of the pressure washer, with all accessories, to the nearest ½ pound.
Overall, I think the Stanley SLP2050 comes equipped with all the features that you’re ever going to need in a pressure washer, and it’s definitely one of the best electric units out there. Coupled with the other features is an onboard soap tank that makes it convenient for you to apply soap to whatever Champion Power Equipment you’re washing with the WEN PW31 pressure washer. The wide angle nozzles are for pressure sensitive surfaces like soft wood, cars and boats. Why the smaller angles, like the 0 degree is for washing and removing tough stains, and for washing elevated places like the second story of a building.
But we think there are enough instances where this kind of mobility is important to not make this a full recommendation. It looks and feels like a vacuum-seal bag that you might store sweaters in for the winter. During testing, ours did not leak or break, but we’ve seen comments from customers on the Home Depot site saying theirs did, and that doesn’t surprise us. Whenever we handled the bladder, especially when it was full, we did so with the utmost care.
With the Generac 6565 pressure washer sitting in your tool shed, you have a capable machine you can use to rid off the dirt and grime off your outdoor space. As can be expected of anything with the Ford name, the FPWG3100H-J is a well-built workhorse. It’s one of the best pressure washers you can get right now that really isn’t going to suck. When you combine a Ford 180cc, 7 HP OHV 4-stroke engine with a 3 piston Annovi Reverberi axial pump, the model you end up with is the Ford FPWG3100H-J pressure washer. The 25 inch abrasion-resistant hose coupled with an EndraGrasp spray gun proved very useful because the hose is long enough, so you don’t have to move the unit all the time. You can just leave the machine in one place and move around with the spray gun and lengthy hose.
This power washer from Sun Joe features two 0.6-liter soap tanks. This allows you to fill the tanks with different detergents and switch between the tanks based on the task you’re tackling. On top of this, the Sun Joe electric pressure washer has a medium amount of cleaning power at 2,030 PSI. With a flow rate of 2 GPM, the CAT 1800 excels at cleaning large areas.
The turbo nozzle was especially effective in restoring deeply stained concrete to a blazing white. The Briggs & Stratton has a high-quality stainless-steel wand with brass connectors that connect to the wand and the 25-foot inlet hose in a snap. With other models that we tested, we had to double- and triple-check the connectors to make sure they were secure.
Higher PSIs usually mean higher price tags and better cleaning power. Overall, this pressure washer feels lower in quality than the others. The other electric models are made of mostly plastic too, but it really stands out Champion Power Equipment on this machine, to the point of being almost toy-like. There’s a glimpse of hope for higher-quality parts with the water-supply hookup port, but it turned out to be just chromed plastic and not a stainless steel part.
It has a wide base with a low center of gravity, and each caster wheel can swivel a full 360°. Plus, you can lock out just 1 or 2 wheels if you want to gain more control on how the pressure washer moves. The AR BlueClean BC2N1HSS has a two-part design, in which you can separate the washer unit from the cart. For a model priced similar to our pick, however, it falls short in that it lacks an induction motor. Ryobi’s RY142022VNM shares a design with the company’s cordless model. It is compact, but it doesn’t have the large wheels, induction motor, or nozzle selection of our main pick.
