How We Picked the Best Electric Pressure Washers
When recommending electric pressure washers, we take four features into account.
Durability
Electric power washers should be built to last. That’s why I look for designs that maximize the life of the internal and external components, including the pump, motor, frame, and wheels.
The frame protects the core pump components and should be robust and corrosion-resistant. If there are wheels, they should handle various terrains and resist “walking.” I look for pumps with durable heads, valves, and manifolds. A low-RPM motor is great for reducing wear and tear.
Safety features that protect the pump are another important consideration. For example, a pump with automatic start-stop capability will stop running if you release the spray trigger. Some pumps have a bypass valve that recirculates water internally, protecting the pump from dry running damage. Overall, good construction is the starting point for the best pressure washers.
Usability
Ease of use is one of the major selling points behind electric appliances, so I have high expectations when it comes to pressure washers.
Any unit with quick-connect fittings and nozzles is off to a great start. Instead of wasting time threading, quick-connect fittings allow you to quickly snap everything into place and make easy swaps.
Convenience is king. Built-in hose reels and onboard storage for the spray gun and nozzles keep everything organized, so you can spend less time looking for things and more time cleaning. Ergonomic handles and components are always welcome. In short, I look at anything that makes pressure washing easier or more comfortable for you, the user.
Versatility
Versatility is where the best electric pressure washers shine. They need to adapt to the wide variety of cleaning jobs out there.
For me, versatility starts with adjustable pressure. While some surfaces, like concrete, need all the force a power washer has to offer, others, like siding, might need things dialed back a bit. The ability to switch back and forth is crucial.
Related to this is the number of different spray nozzles that come with a given pressure washer. Each is designed for different pressures, and there is typically one that works with soap. Speaking of soap, having an efficient way to use it is important. I like siphon tube injection for this.
In the case of hot water electric pressure washers, I like to see the ability to adjust the temperature. While you need to bring the heat for some tough grease jobs, other surfaces might be damaged by high temperatures.
I could go on—hose length, lance length, portability—anything that broadens how and where you can use your pressure washer helps the versatility score.
Overall Value
You get what you pay for. Sure, there are cases when you can get a great deal on a quality pressure washer, but it usually costs money and resources for manufacturers to make their product “the best.”
That’s why I don’t exclusively consider price when determining value. It’s a factor, but not the most important one. I'm most interested in whether the pressure washer is worth the price. Do its durability, usability, and versatility features justify the purchase? This is also where I consider the warranty and where the pressure washer is made.
Electric Pressure Washer FAQs
Are Electric or Gas Pressure Washers Better?
While gas pressure washers typically provide more power in the form of higher water pressure, that extra power isn't always needed. An electric pressure washer will effectively clean basic household surfaces like driveways, decks, cars, and more. Plus, you won't have to worry about the maintenance, noise, and fumes associated with gas units.
In fact, electric pressure washers have come far enough in the past few years that even professionals are using them on commercial applications. For example, hot water electric power washers are used in the restaurant and food processing industries or to clear grease stains from auto shop floors.
How Long Do Electric Pressure Washers Last?
Typically, lower-end consumer electric pressure washers will last for around 40-80 hours of use, which is plenty for occasional cleanings. They are designed to be used on a seasonal basis to clean surfaces around the house. Higher-end or professional electric pressure washers will last just as long as gas models, as long as you keep the pump dry and clean during periods of non-use.
What is GPM?
GPM stands for Gallons per Minute and describes "how much" water is delivered, or its volume. A pressure washer rated for 4 GPM can produce 4 gallons of pressurized water per minute.
What is PSI?
PSI stands for Pounds per Square Inch and describes the pressure, or force, of water. A pressure washer rated for 1,000 PSI can produce 1,000 pounds of water per square inch.
What GPM pressure washer do I need?
The flow rate (GPM) is just as important as the water pressure (PSI). When cleaning delicate surfaces like wood fences or cars covered in bird waste, an overly high pressure could cause damage. In those cases, you can compensate with a higher flow rate pressure washer. The higher GPMs will clean effectively through the sheer volume of water sprayed on the surface, also known as rinsing power. Generally speaking, most residential users will need a flow rate of 1-3 GPM, while most commercial users will need a minimum of 3.5-4 GPM.
What PSI pressure washer do I need?
It depends on what you want to wash. PSI stands for pounds per square inch and represents the water pressure. Most homeowners will be satisfied with a 1,000-4,000 PSI pressure washer. The higher the pressure, the heavier the dirt you’ll be able to clean, like garage floor stains, paint splotches, and thick mold. Lower PSI pressure washers are perfect for lighter cleaning, like car washes, cobwebs, and your grill. Heavy-duty commercial pressure washing jobs will require more than 4,000 PSI.
The best pressure washers come with an adjustable PSI setting, so you can adapt the pressure to your application. Learn more about selecting the right PSI pressure washer in our pressure washer buyer’s guide.
