Pressure Washer recommendation

(1/3) > >>

Fatty_McButterpants:
I’m looking to buy a gas powered pressure washer and I could use some input. I just want it for cleaning my own stuff and the occasional side job.

I’d prefer something I can buy through Amazon especially if I can get the Assurant protection plan with it. I don’t care if it craps out after a year if I have the Assurant coverage. Unfortunately, I haven’t found one yet on Amazon that offers the Assurant plan.

What PSI should I be looking for? Most are around 3200. Will that handle most jobs? While I’d prefer to spend as little as possible, I know there’s truth in “You get what you pay for.” Is $1000 enough to get a decent pressure washer? What jobs would call for hot water? What price would I be looking at for one of those units? I can I buy a hot water system to work in conjunction with my regular pressure washer?

TIA for you help.

Our member Phil sells pressure washers and hot water units. He does not sell cheap crap but generally industrial stuff.
He might not even want to recommend a homeowner grade machine.

What will your washer be used for? Deck and house siding cleaning? Grimy undersides of tractors? Kiddie toy dusting?

I’ve never cleaned siding or a deck but I can’t say I won’t. I’d definitely be cleaning tree sap off my vehicles and cleaning the underside of cars where their all greasy and dirty. I figure as long as I have the equipment, I might buy some accessories and do some side jobs. Cleaning concrete and brick is something I’m sure I can do without messing anything up.

I’ll consider buying a commercial grade machine but definitely not top end. More of a starter unit since I don’t have a specific plan for using it beyond cleaning my own stuff.
