Start by clarifying what you want from your hot water pressure washers

We will go over the three main types of hot water pressure washers, including gas, diesel, and electric, but first we want to encourage you to understand the specifics of what you are looking for. You know that you need more power than you would get form a garden hose, but how big is your project? How often do you plan to use your equipment? Where do you think you will use it? Does it need to be powerful? Answer these questions and then read on to make a final decision for your needs.

What to expect from gas hot water pressure washers

Our gas-powered pressure washers require less time and effort than others. This means that they work faster and more efficiently and are a great choice for large areas and for use outdoors. You can use them for just about any cleaning purpose you can imagine, including peeling paint, cleaning dirt and debris, and getting rid of grease and grime.

One of the main advantages of the gas powered pressure washer – other than its maximum cleaning capacity – is the fact that it is entirely portable. There are no cords involved, which means you can take it on the road, put it on a pressure washer trailer, and otherwise use it in many areas. However, note that you should never use one of these gas power washers in an area that is unventilated as it does give off fumes.

What to expect from diesel power washers

If engine life is one of the most important factors you consider when choosing hot water pressure washers, then a diesel unit may be the best choice for you. It can also handle the toughest, most stubborn jobs. Are you dealing with grease that you can’t get rid of? Get diesel. Are you paint stripping or removing gum? A diesel power washer can handle just about any job.

What to expect from electric power washers

One of the biggest advantages of these hot water pressure washers is the fact that they can be used in unventilated areas. For example, they can be used to clean within a garage, kitchen, or basement. However, they do have cords and they must be plugged into an electric outlet. This can make them less portable than other options.
