What is a pressure washer ?

With summer just around the corner, it’s time to clean the patio, car and exterior walls. But with only a brush, it is a long and complicated task. That’s why it is better to opt for a pressure washer.

It is an interesting device that adapts to all cleaning work, and is very effective.

The manipulation is quite simple, it increases the flow of water while reducing the outlet diameter. The water that comes out of the washer can go up to 200 bar for the most valuable ones.

How to choose a pressure washer ?

You will find below few creteria to consider when buying your pressure washer. It is important to check these features to make sure you choose the right model.

Pressure

The pressure of a high-pressure washer is one of the first criteria to take into account. It is indicated in bars, and the higher the number, the greater the power of the jet.

If you just want to clean your patio for example, a product of less than 150 bar will be enough.

The flow

The water flow of this type of appliance is expressed in liters per hour, and the larger the number, the less you will have to work. For small jobs, a flow of 350 liters per hour is more than enough.

The power

Power is another key point to take into account, and depends on the way you use it.

Indeed, if you intend to use the high-pressure washer intensively, it is better to take a device with a power of more than 1400 watts minimum. If so, a lower power will be good enough.

The noise

The noise made by the high-pressure cleaner can be inconvenient for the neighborhood, but also for you. Of course, do not expect to find a totally silent device, since your goal is to clean with minimal power.

The sound of the product is indicated in decibels, and the lower the number, the less noisy the device will be.

Maintenance

It is essential to take care of your pressure washer, maintaining it after each use. Therefore, we recommend that you opt for an easy-to-clean product, even if some have extensive warranties.

Accessories and options

The last thing to consider is the functionality of the product and its accessories. In few packsages, multiple accessories are provided with the device, but in others, you might need to buy them separately.

Brushes, spears, auto accessories, aerators, rotating heads, there are a lot of them.

How much does a pressure washer cost?

The price of a high-pressure cleaner depends on the model, the brand, but also the use you have of it. Entry-level models cost around 75£, but the most advanced models can be more expensive.

If you want to buy a high-end device, you will need to turn to high-performance products, therefore more expensive.
