But it requires fuel and more maintenance, and it’s louder and heavier, too. The maximum claimed water pressure at the nozzle, in pounds per square inch. Higher pressures can typically provide more cleaning power at wider nozzle angles, letting you complete the job more quickly. It’s equipped with a 30 foot high pressure hose which is quite long enough for you to be able to cover a large surface area while cleaning with it. Unlike other washers that just has a place for you to hang the hose on the washer, the AR390SS is equipped with a reel which you can easily use stow the hose when you’re done with it.
Though this pressure washer is the most expensive on the list, we think the price is justified by the machine’s exceptional power. The model, which has five quick-connect spray tips, a max PSI of 3,200 and a flow rate of 2.5 GPM, is more closely aligned with a professional-grade piece of equipment. It’s more than what the average homeowner will need, but it’s a great pick for any DIYer who favors performance and strength above all. Just be aware that at 65 pounds, it’s not as easy to lug around as other models.
We gave this a shot, but it’s tough to keep that muffle on and tough to prevent water from splashing everywhere. Instead, we decided to use a five-gallon water cooler jug into which to shoot the spray wand without losing water to splashing. For each machine, we pulled the trigger on the spray wand for thirty seconds and weighed the water to calculate the true GPM rating. This machine has two pressure modes just like a few of the other electric units we tested.
The type of fuel source your power washer uses will determine its pressure, volume, and weight. The Swisher LS22E is one of the best 22-ton electric log splitters available today. It’s a 120V electric 22-ton splitter Champion Power Equipment and works with any standard home outlet. The Greenworks GPW2300 is similar to our Ryobi top pick and DeWalt runner-up, but it has smaller wheels, and we’ve seen availability issues with that company’s models.
Simpson also sells the MegaShot MS60773-S, which similarly has a shorter hose and warranty. The Ryobi RY is similar in size to the RY1419MTVNM but doesn’t have that model’s cleaning power or features. In 2020, Ryobi released a sun joe spx 3000 cordless pressure washer, the first of its kind that we’ve seen. This DeWalt pressure washer is similar to the Ryobi, just with wider tires for great stability and a broader selection of nozzles, bonuses that boost the cost.
After studying some instructional videos online, we had a clear understanding of how to start the unit, at which point the Generac became easier to start up. However, there is definitely a learning curve for those who are unfamiliar with gas-powered products. The Ivation westinghouse pressure washers – IVA-9175L was one of the best-designed electric pressure washers we tested.
