Which Pressure washer is better?




BMX Pro


These are the two that I've been looking at. They're both the same price.

Has subaru engine 175cc, 2700PSI, 2.4GPM, Aluminum pump, OHC engine

http://www.homelite.com/catalog/pressureâ¦
Homelite Engine 2.5GPM, 212CC, Brass Pump , OHV engine, 3000PSI

I've never hear of a homelite engine. I am aware that brass head pumps are better than alumium but I am not sure what would be the better choice
the one with an aluminium pump and a well known relaible engine
or the one with a brass pump and an unknown engine
Also the 300 PSI difference doesnt really matter to me as anything over 2500PSI would be enough for me



Answer
It is not the PSI that matters as much as the GPM. Pressure can be increased by just putting a smaller nozzle on it.

A good pressure washer should have about 3.2 GPM minimum. This way you can fan the spray out to do the job without destroying the deck.

Yes a brass pump is better than aluminum or steel.

I can't check it out now. The Homelite web site is down. But Homelite is a good brand and has been around for at least 30 years.

Here is the correct link to your site

The Home lite is the better one out of these choices but fall below what a real pressure washer should have.

I learned years ago the when buying equipment, buy professional heavy duty because the standard home owner equipment is made so cheaply it will only last a few years. You will have to decide.

I personally have a DeWalt Pressure after burning up 2 of those lower cost ones. My DeWalt is now 9 years old and still kicking. My model is no longer mad but it is powered by a Briggs and Stratton and pumps 3.5 GPM.

Here is a link to some professional models.

And for you best bang for the buck here is one I think would fit your needs better

There are better ones made but at a way higher price. This one is way above what you are looking at without breaking the bank.

What's the best electric pressure washer for detailing cars?

I'm looking for a good quality pressure washer for cleaning cars. It needs to be able to draw from a water tank without assistance, and it needs to be reliable. About $200 is my budget, but I'd like to keep it as cheap as possible while still keeping quality.


Answer
For $200 you are not going to get any kind of quality pressure washer.
You need a washer which operates at 1800 PSI or higher pressure output to perform effectively. They start at around $350 - $400 dollars. I do not know of any commercially available pressure washers which will draw from an unpressurized tank - they all are designed to operate from a pressurized hose delivering 3-5 GPM @ 20+ PSI.
