Blubery’s gas pressure washer is powered by a heavy-duty 212CC 4-stroke OHV horizontal shaft 7 HP engine with a recoil start. It offers a power of 3500 PSI and a water flow of 2.6 GPM to have strong cleaning power, which is quite adequate to clean stubborn dirt. In recent years, a couple of companies have released cordless pressure washers. These units come with portable water supplies and offer completely untethered pressure washing . We cleaned concrete floors, wood decks, both wood and resin furniture, and outdoor tables. This gave us a chance to see how their advertised power rating translated to actual cleaning effectiveness.
Despite all being positively reviewed by consumers, we definitely noticed usability and quality variances between products. All the units we tested can get the job done, but our top picks made setting up, cleaning, and storage much more enjoyable. No pressure washers were ‘quiet’ and we found gas models were decibels louder than electric models. This is going to be the case with any gas pressure washer though. The Generac clocked in at about decibels louder than the electric models we tested.
The lock on the wand is a flip-out stop, so it’s slightly awkward. It has rotating wheels that spin in 360 degrees so it moves easily over different surfaces without tipping over. Its self-cooling brushless induction motor has been engineered to run sun joe spx 3000 efficiently and reasonably quietly. The frequency of your usage will determine whether to empty the fuel tank or not before its storage. Prefer to use clean fuel, which is free from contamination and moisture to make it engine work effectively.
A combination of pressure, measured in pounds per square inch , and flow, measured in gallons per minute . The noise metric is where the Westinghouse WPX3200 shows that it is a gas-powered machine. This pressure washer is one of the loudest we tested, falling in the lower percentile at both a close and distant decibel measurement. The Westinghouse WPX3200 is not the most portable pressure washer we tested. However, it makes up for its weight and bulk by being remarkably easy to move around, thanks to two large wheels and a well-balanced design.
After about a week, a Honda representative stopped by to inspect the motor only to discover the issue had disappeared. Although the Westinghouse seemed louder than the Briggs & Stratton, it was actually seven decibels less. The plastic pistol feels a bit unsubstantial, and the trigger lock is a plastic lever that we suspect will eventually snap off over time.
Electric and gas-powered pressure washers can scrub dirt and grime off outdoor surfaces using pressurized water. With each washer, I used multiple nozzle tip varieties for each activity. The green tips were often too light to get the surface as clean as it could be. The red tips, although effective, only clean a small area at a time.
The SPX3000 also has small wheels that seem to be designed only for perfectly flat surfaces such as a paved driveway. Thankfully, at 32 pounds, this washer is fairly light, because while working on a lawn, we ended up half dragging, half carrying it behind us rather than rolling it. Imagine taking a pull-behind suitcase across your bumpy lawn, and you get the picture. As nice as the DWPW2400’s tires are, they aren’t a necessity for most people. The storage for the nozzle tips is nicely designed and easy to use.
I ended up ordering this Westinghouse and it is a fantastic pressure washer. I was able to clean the sides of my house quickly and have already used it on my deck as well. My neighbor even asked me where I’d gotten this powerwasher (which is funny because he’s one of those ‘lawn nuts’ who only buys the best for his precious property). The leaves are starting to fall, and you may be thinking about power washing your gutters. It’s the perfect time of year to maintain those dirty drainage systems. The cool weather brings out dirt build-up, which can cause more problems.
At Westinghouse, we’ve been supplying the world with dependable, efficient power for over a century. The Beast P2000B-BBM15 looked good in our research, but we can’t find a website or any significant information about the company that makes it. Because of that, we have concerns about potential long-term service or warranty issues.
Because this washer is less than half the weight of our main pick, you can either pick it up with the top handle or roll it along on small luggage-like wheels with the extending handle. As with the Sun Joe SPX3000, the wheels on this compact Ryobi model are so little that they have a hard time navigating over an uneven lawn. The major downside of the DWPW2400 is that the cord wrap is awkward to get at and difficult to use, which in our tests made stowing the washer away a tedious and dreaded chore. At the back of the motor are two “horns” that you’re meant to wrap the cord around. These horns are positioned very low, and with a 35-foot cord, wrapping up the entire length takes quite a while.
