The Genmax GM9000iED, seen above, is fresh on the scene and represents a new breed of powerful dual-fuel inverter generators. Push Button ON/OFF switch and on-unit accessory holders makes it easy to assemble, use and store, giving you an easy product handling experience and control. So while you do sacrifice portability and mobility compared to the ePX3000, you gain some convenience of operation in return for your compromises.
So, what you need to do is turn the pressure regulator all the way down before starting it, then you can get it to start in one or two pulls of the start handle. If the dust and grime on the exterior surface of your house is making it difficult for you to recognize your home, then try this Ford FPWG3100H-J. Instead, it is equipped with a rather large 10 inch no-flat tires, which are also very mobile like pneumatic tires.
Cleanup jobs that would normally take 20 to 30 minutes with a garden hose and a sponge or wire brush take maybe two minutes with a pressure washer, and for less work you get better results. During our testing, we cleaned a manure-covered wheelbarrow in a matter of minutes, and a set of ancient Adirondack chairs took maybe three or four minutes apiece. This cleaning speed is only amplified as the jobs get bigger, such as if you were to clean your driveway or the sidewalk out front. Regular maintenance is critical for keeping your gas pressure washer working like new.
We didn’t have a way to calculate the actual PSI, but instead, we devised a method to compare the relative pressures between the tested models. We started with a kitchen scale, accurate down to 0.05-ounce measurements, and placed it in a resealable plastic bag for protection from water. Then we used a dinner plate and duct-taped it to the bag to prevent sliding and without putting any extra pressure on the scale. To measure pressure, we sprayed each wand at the dish from a distance of 12 inches and recorded the readout in pounds.
The high-pressure hose on this felt extremely high quality — we actually thought we mixed it up with one of the hoses on the ~$400 gas-powered units. The hose itself has a fabric-like westinghouse pressure washers texture on it with good-quality connectors at the ends. There’s a block on the bottom of the spray wand you push over to the other side to lock, which feels very secure.
The most basic method just includes a hose; for these, you need to figure out how to secure the bottle. Most electric models are light and use solid-plastic wheels appropriate for that application. Gas-powered models typically have larger wheels that westinghouse pressure washers are solid or have pneumatic-rubber tires. Pneumatic tires can provide extra shock absorption, though they also lose air over time. We have a model for every budget and every need – including electric and gasoline powered washers up to 4,400 PSI.
