Yard Force 2200 PSI (Electric - Cold Water) Pressure Washer

They are apples and oranges since one is consumer grade and the other is a commercial grade unit, reflected in the price difference.

The Yard Force unit is designed for around the house tasks, and would do a good job on cars, decks, sidewalks, siding, etc. The 2200 PSI would spray farther than 1200 PSI, so it would be more effective at washing eaves and soffits.

More GPM gets the job done faster- so tasks done with the DeWalt would be finished quicker. It won't spray as high as the Yard Force, but it would have a longer operational life.

The average homeowner wouldn't wear out the axial pump in the Yard Force unit for years, if ever. The DeWalt triplex pump is tough and rebuildable to meet the demands of commercial use. The DeWalt also has a higher quality motor than the Yard Force unit.

If you have rental properties to care for, a stable or kennel where gas fumes would be an issue then the DeWalt is a smart buy. If you just have a couple of cars and a smaller home and deck then the YardForce would do just fine.

If you have a large home to clean with large deck areas you may want to look at a Gas Pressure Washer as an alternative to a commercial electric unit.

This will have a siphon tube that will run off the pump. The siphon tube can be placed in a bucket of pressure washer safe detergent. When the soap nozzle is put on the end of the spray lance, it will tell the pressure washer it is time to pull soap at low pressure. This is explained of page 18 of the OWNER'S MANUAL

The manufacture does not supply the size.

The folks at Yard Force say the BL in the title stands for Brushless- it's a brushless motor. The advantage to using a brushless motor is greater efficiency and a more durable motor.

To ensure the longest service life possible for your pump and motor, I do always recommend turning off the pressure washer for approximately 10 minutes after 1-1.5 hours of use to allow the pump and the motor to cool.

The Yard Force is one of the best electric units in the industry today. It uses an Axial CAM pump which is a much higher grade pump that comes standard on consumer grade electrics.

However, it uses standard gas connections so you can use the MTM foamer and standard accessories. I would not hesitate to recommend this unit.
