Which pressure washer should I buy to use around the yard?

I've looked at a few websites and see that I can get gas powered washers for upwards of $400 and also get small electric ones for as low as $80. I understand that the big difference seems to be the pressure that each puts out (PSI) but that's all I understand.

Can I get a compressor so I can say attach a paint sprayer, a tire inflator and then attach a head so I can pressure wash? Or do I have to get a compressor for paint and air and then a pressure washer as well? I'm mostly interested in the washing part but would be nice to have an all in one solution if that is even available?

Here is what I want to do...wash the cars, RV, kids bikes, driveway, vinyl siding on the house and basic yardwork type of chores.

Please help me figure out what to buy?



Answer
If it were me... I'd go to the local rental equipment shop and ask the guy in charge of what he thinks. Why - because he would be the one very familiar with what you'd be looking for. As that's what he rents, and is very knowledgeable about.

What is E10 gasoline and is it the same as regular unleaded gas?

I have a gas pressure washer that says on the gas tank to use E10 gasoline. Where do you buy that kind of gas?


Answer
E10 = 10% ethanol content. The pressure washer does not REQUIRE E10, the sticker only means that it's okay to use E10.

Some people will tell you that E10 is bad for engines, but don't you believe it. I've been driving the same vehicle for over 20 years and fueled it with up to E20, it runs just fine on all of them. It can complicate matters when you store the engine, however.

For best results, at the end of the season drain the tank and run the engine until it dies of fuel starvation. Then add a little fuel stabilizer to the tank and restart it for a few seconds to get the stabilizer into all the passages of the carb. This will prevent varnish forming in those tiny little nooks and crannies will the engine sits idle for months on end.
