How to Buy the Right Portable Pressure Washer

A portable pressure washer takes care of even the most demanding cleaning jobs with the minimum of effort. Whether you’re washing your car’s alloy wheels or revitalising a dirty old pathway, the best pressure washer for the job can save you a lot of time and hard work.

But with so many pressure washers for sale, how do you know which one to buy? There are thousands of power tools in the UK to choose from, so some research before you buy is essential. We’ve put together this list of tips and advice to help you find a cheap pressure washer that’s capable of delivering.

How Powerful is the Best Pressure Washer?

Plug your high-pressure washer into an electric power outlet and connect it to the nearest tap. That’s all that’s needed to start cleaning. But how do you know that your preferred machine will be up to the tasks you demand of it?

Pressure

The pressure at which the water is “expelled” from the machine. Usually, the pressure is indicated by the “Bar” rating.

Rate of Flow

The rate of flow must be high enough for the task at hand. For example, a car pressure washer is capable of several different rates of flow. This important feature is often stated in litres/hour.

Power

If you’re shopping for electric pressure washers for sale, the power ratings will probably be measured in watts (W). However, some petrol-powered washers display power in horsepower (hp).

What Types of Pressure Washers Are Available?

Yes, there are both sole-purpose and multipurpose pressure washers for sale. Will you be mostly cleaning patios and driveways? Then look for a dedicated pressure washer patio cleaner. You’ll also find options designed specifically for cleaning cars — and they’re not expensive.

Look for options that include a range of accessories, such as brushes, extra-long hoses and pressure washer attachments.
