<\/a><\/figure>\nTaking the number one spot on our list is the model from Jet-USA and for a good reason \u2014 it\u2019s one of the highest quality and more reliable models out there, it has a great price and users online seem to love it!<\/p>\n
You\u2019re getting a full-featured model here along with some added features like an excellent detergent tank for those times you need more than just a tonne of pressure. Add to this the pressure washer\u2019s 5-metre long hose and you\u2019re able to get from one side of your yard, the car or the patio without any issues at all.<\/p>\n
Reviews did reward this pressure washer with an ideal 4.7 out of 5 which means you\u2019re certainly going to be on the right track to having a good experience here.<\/p>\n
Another thing to keep in mind here is that this pressure washer is light weight and easy to move around too. You won\u2019t be having any issues lugging this product from the car, the garage or anywhere else.<\/p>\n
On top of this, coming in at just $182 it\u2019s one of the more affordable on the market today, making it a winner for your bank too.<\/p>\n
To end, we\u2019d like to note that the hose has been touted as being quite firm and the system is relatively simple to use, so you\u2019ll be getting some good use out of the hose and also be able to make use of the product without trouble.<\/p>\n
Our Favourite Features<\/strong><\/p>\n For our readers who aren\u2019t too worried when it comes to price and simply want the best of the best, then we have a great suggestion here for you.<\/p>\n Coming from the experts at Stihl, the company\u2019s RE 129 Plus is one of the best pressure washers that doesn\u2019t require a battery or a petrol-powered motor. You\u2019re getting one of the most powerful washers here and that means you\u2019re able to rely on it to wash away all grime, grease and other impurities from your pavement or car.<\/p>\n Some users have touted that the pressure washer was even powerful enough to blast away stains and oil marks from their patio \u2014 something that not very many pressure washers can do \u2014 even with the help of detergent.<\/p>\n In line with this, there are a tonne of added features and adapters here too. You can find two nozzles coming in the box that allow you to use a fan jet or a rotary, which means you can either deep-clean things like your concrete patios and decks, or vehicle tyres, for example. Or there is the option of adjusting pressure and working on a simple wash off of things around the home.<\/p>\n You\u2019re also going to find an awesome telescopic handle here too, so getting that extra reach is no trouble at all here. This may also be a plus for those looking to clean guttering and the exterior walls of their homes.<\/p>\n To end, there\u2019s a detergent sprayer, a high pressure hose and a transport handle to make moving this pressure washer to and from storage a lot easier.<\/p>\n Our Favourite Features<\/strong><\/p>\n When it comes to using a pressure washer when away from a power outlet, you\u2019ll need to rely on fuel-powered models. However, a lot of these are hit or miss these days with most companies focusing their research and development on electric models.<\/p>\n However, the Karcher team have developed one of the most seamless and easy to use pressure washers that run on petrol \u2014 and that makes it ideal for those times you\u2019re away from home or out at site needing to clean things off.<\/p>\n This model is one of the highest rated online by customers and the Product Review website has also given the model praise.<\/p>\n For a lot of users, the thought of the complexity that comes with petrol models may be a little daunting, though we\u2019re happy to say that the ease of use and one-pull start up is easier than ever.<\/p>\n You may notice that this washer can be a little noisy though, which means you\u2019ll have to rely on some earmuffs if that\u2019s an issue for you.<\/p>\n The engine that\u2019s being used in this pressure washer is coming from Honda and that means you can certainly rely on this washer to last for years to come. There\u2019s also a two-year warranty coming into play here too, so you\u2019re not going to need to worry about replacing or repairing this pressure washer any time soon.<\/p>\n One of the only downsides here is that you will need to keep petrol with you, which is a given, and also the price of the pressure washer may be an issue for some of our readers. It comes in at over $800 which might be a little too much for those who only need the pressure washer for personal jobs.<\/p>\n However, businesses who need to rely on a washer to clean sites after a project will be well covered here.<\/p>\n Our Favourite Features<\/strong><\/p>\n We picked this model for our readers who would prefer to stick to a budget but still want something reliable.<\/p>\n Offered up from Ryobi means the RPW140-G is going be by your side for a long while. The brand has a great track record when it comes to quality and you\u2019re going to find some brilliant added features here too.<\/p>\n There\u2019s a high-pressure system you can rely on for some heavy duty cleaning here, though in some cases it might not pack enough punch to fully get the job done. That in mind, you\u2019re still getting plenty of pressure for some at-home cleaning tasks.<\/p>\n We would suggest that the Ryobi be used for things such as the simple cleaning of cars and trucks, pathways and patios or decks around the home, though not too much else. For example, onsite cleaning might not be the best task for the Ryobi.<\/p>\n Those points aside though, this pressure washer did get some pretty great reviews from customers online and that\u2019s what landed this model on our list.<\/p>\n To end, there is a great soap or detergent dispenser in here too, which helps out when it comes time to give the Ryobi a little help at getting some more heavy duty cleaning on.<\/p>\n Our Favourite Features<\/strong><\/p>\n When it comes to premium quality without the high price tag, our top choice for our readers is the 3500PSI model coming from JET USA.<\/p>\n With the higher pressure on offer here, you\u2019re better able to keep on top of you\u2019re cleaning tasks and really get the results you\u2019re looking for. Whether you intend to strip grease and grime from a driveway or you\u2019re after the more seamless and effective way to clean around a pool, a deck or a patio, then this is the model for you.<\/p>\n You can even use this pressure washer to rather effectively clean steel and tiled roofs if need be.<\/p>\n That in mind, there is a longer than normal hose which will allow you to get into those hard to reach spaces and also not have to worry about rolling around the pressure washer all too much during your time cleaning.<\/p>\n One of our favourite parts here is the high-end and commercial-friendly hose that comes with this model. You won\u2019t need to worry about longevity at all here given that the pressure washer is designed to last a long while and also to take a beating.<\/p>\n For our eco-conscious readers, this pressure washer also offers up water usage that\u2019s 50 per cent less than a typical hose! That means for those who want to reduce their water usage, or use the pressure washer in a location with poor water pressure, this is the model we\u2019d suggest for you.<\/p>\n It\u2019s affordable for what you get coming in at $240 and that means it\u2019s well within the budget of most of our readers.<\/p>\n A downside we\u2019d like to point out is that this pressure washer is a little on the heavier side, so lifting it up and down or moving it in and out of storage can be a little bit of a struggle.<\/p>\n Our Favourite Features<\/strong><\/p>\n Our second model making the list from Stihl is the company\u2019s car-friendly model.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re in the know about pressure washers, you\u2019ll be aware that sometimes with a little too much pressure you can damage your car\u2019s paint or other materials, though the RE 119 by Stihl is out there to ensure this doesn\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n With a pressure landing at around 1,820psi you\u2019re getting just about enough pressure to clean around the home, wash the car and do whatever else you\u2019re thinking of doing.<\/p>\n To make this a little more clear, typical at-home cleaning duties should only require a pressure washer that offers up about 1,300psi and with 1,800 on offer you\u2019re well-covered when it comes to getting work done.<\/p>\n Online reviews have touted that this is the perfect size and pressure model for those who want to wash cars and trucks and that\u2019s great for making the chore a lot easier. You can blast off just about everything you need to and not need to worry about the pressure washer causing any damage.<\/p>\n We\u2019d also like to add that you\u2019ll find a nifty handle coming into play here as well as an ideally designed foldable cover which means you can keep the pressure washer clean and protected when it\u2019s not in use.<\/p>\n To end, there\u2019s an adjust nozzle here like some of the other washers on our list and this means you\u2019re getting more control of the pressure and water direction depending on what you\u2019re doing. For example, cleaning the car is going to be a little different from washing off the back patio.<\/p>\n Our Favourite Features<\/strong><\/p>\n Choosing Your Own Pressure Washer<\/p>\n With all of our top choice pressure washers out of the way, we\u2019re hoping that you\u2019ve found a winner for you and your home. However, if you\u2019re intending on going out to look for a model on your own, we have some pointers for you.<\/p>\n We understand that choosing a pressure washer is <\/em>a little complicated given that there are a few technical terms often thrown around like PSI and gallons or litres per minute, so that\u2019s what we\u2019re going to help cover for you below.<\/p>\n Understanding PSI and Pressure<\/strong><\/p>\n We\u2019re not going to delve into the scene behind pressure and PSI here, but rather give you some tips about what to look for.<\/p>\n A lot of our readers and the general public are under the impression that a bigger and more powerful pressure washer is always going to be the better choice. Though, this couldn\u2019t be further from the truth.<\/p>\n If you are only on the look out for a pressure washer to clean your car, for example, you\u2019re not going want to choose a PSI of somewhere around 3,000 as this is going to cause damage \u2014 and you won\u2019t be able to turn the PSI down after your purchase either.<\/p>\n That in mind, work to understand the workflows you\u2019re going to be using your pressure washer for and go from there. To make this a little simpler for you, we\u2019ve outlined some of the typical pressure washer uses for you below:<\/p>\n Washing a Car, Truck or Bikes<\/strong> \u2014 You\u2019ll need around a 1,000PSI to 1,300PSI pressure washer.<\/p>\n Cleaning a Deck, Patio or Roof<\/strong> \u2014 You\u2019ll need around 2,400PSI as a minimum, ideally a little more for the more heavy-duty jobs.<\/p>\n Stripping Paint<\/strong> \u2014 You\u2019ll need beyond 2,500PSI and ideally toward 3,000PSI to 3,500PSI for this task. Keep in mind these are more costly and sometimes only come on petrol variants.<\/p>\n Those points out of the way it\u2019s clear to see that you don\u2019t always need the biggest and the best pressure washer out there, but rather a model that\u2019s best suited to your own workflows at home, at work or on a job site.<\/p>\n Detergent and Cleaning Features<\/strong><\/p>\n Another big consideration you need to think about is the added cleaning features that are supported by the pressure washer.<\/p>\n In some cases, a lower PSI pressure washer can be made a lot more effective with the addition of detergent and other cleaning features. This is down to the fact that you\u2019re able to more freely clean with less pressure needed when you have a cleaning agent coming into play.<\/p>\n On top of this, things such as adjustable nozzles or even a set of interchangeable nozzles can make a big difference to how effective your experience cleaning is with a pressure washer.<\/p>\n This is where we\u2019ll ask you to take a look at added cleaning features to make a better choice when it comes to investing in a pressure washer.<\/p>\n Accessories<\/strong><\/p>\n Our final pointer we\u2019d like to go over is taking a good look at the supported accessories for your chosen pressure washer.<\/p>\n This will generally depend on the brand, though there are some accessory makers out there who develop standalone and multi-supported fittings and pressure washer heads that clip on to just about every pressure washer.<\/p>\n That in mind, if you see yourself needing add-ons such as a pressure washer broom for example, be sure to take a look at a retail store\u2019s website for more information on this.<\/p>\n You might be able to better decide on the best pressure washers when you know what types of features and add-ons are supported.<\/p>\n Conclusion<\/p>\n All of the above in mind, we are sure you\u2019re just as surprised as we were when it came to seeing just how many different types of pressure washers there were. This is good news for those who want a rather curated cleaning experience at home, but it can be a little daunting and confusing when it comes to knowing which models to choose and which to overlook.<\/p>\n A lot of the time, we can typically go by our budgets, though this will only take us so far \u2014 you have to be sure to factor in a tonne of other things such as the power of the pressure washer, the added accessories, your own use case as well as the type of power it uses.<\/p>\n Another big thing to keep in mind is the type of power you\u2019ll be using and whether you need a petrol model or not. For those who typically work at unpowered worksites, a petrol model might be the better option for you unless you\u2019re investing in a generator.<\/p>\n All of that said, we\u2019re confident one of the above pressure washers is going to suit your needs this year, however, if you do go it alone in your search for one of these machines, be sure to consider your personal use case, the PSI required and whether you\u2019re going to need something designed for a worksite, or just simple use around your home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When it comes to getting the back patio clean or that awful grime off the drive way, there\u2019s no better tool than a pressure washer.
