dulley0720081c e1281817931296 Whats the best electric pressure washer for my money?

I’m looking in the $100 to $175 range. I’ve seen the reviews for Campbell-Hausfield,the $99 model is better than it’s next one up.Husky 1800 is best rating so far all around at $170. Karcher wasn’t getting any good reviews.I don’t know much about Simoniz ones.I’m cleaning aluminum awnings to repaint;I need to clean my driveway and the house of Arkansas dust.It gets caked on everything!

    Electric ones just won’t do what you need them to do. If your on a limited budget, try pawn shops. You can get some great buys there.

    There is not a single brick manufacturer nor any concrete engineer that will ever recommend using a power washer. And on wood surfaces those things are pure murder. Even on aluminum siding or awnings, those things are not good whatsoever.

    What that does is destroys the surfaces of brick and concrete and it is subject to moisture penetration and loses its barrier against further dirt repulsion. It actually pitts the surface of most materials including your painted wood and leaves it in a sorry state.

    Your best washer is a regular pump and a brush or broom where you can use a strong detergent solution. Liquid deterget is best as it disolves in cold water and an ordinary booster pump on a water supply along with a good long brush to scrub the surface does a good job cleaning without destroying your house.

    Those are the facts. Why these machines became so popular in view of the fact that they are so destructive is a question that many manufacturers of brick, concrete, and wood, plastic, and aluminum are asking.

    If you have a really dirty awning, or a grease laten concrete driveway, a steam jenny is a tool that works well and does not destroy the surfaces. You can rent one of those at your local rental. The cost of a really high pressure washer driven by a gasoline engine will give you a lifetime of steam jenney rentals and you dont have to store a machine in your garage and worry about a gas engine going bad either.
