Gas-pressure washers are great, but they emit carbon monoxide while in use, which means you can't use them indoors.

This is where electric power washers come in.


Professional-grade units have the power and quality to handle jobs otherwise reserved for gas washers.

You can expect to find high-quality triplex pumps and reliable induction motors on all these professional electric handheld power washers. These professional components, along with a superior warranty, should provide you with years of reliable use.

Equipped with conveniently-placed handles, you can bring these pressure washers wherever you need to clean (as long as it's within 35 ft. of an electrical source). Body shops, kennels, vehicles, and more - electric handheld power washers will clean these things in no time.

Electric Hot Water

Welcome to the world of hot water pressure washing. If cleaning areas with grease or oil is a requirement, hot water is the only way to go. With temperatures as high as 200⁰ F, you can accomplish some serious cleaning tasks with a professional electric hot water pressure washer.

A lot of these units require 230-volt electricity, which requires a double throw circuit breaker. Without it, the pressure washer is useless. However, with this power, cleaning greasy kitchens or garage floors caked in dirty oil is a snap.
