Choosing a pressure washer can seem confusing at first, but it is not that complicated if you take into consideration the basic elements.

Step 1 > Select the Power Supply: Electric vs. Gas

The first step in selecting the perfect Karcher pressure washer is deciding between an electric or gasoline power supply. The biggest difference between the two is the strength and speed in which they spray, which ultimately determines how quickly and efficiently you get the job done.

Electric Pressure Washers are popular for household applications and are great for cleaning smaller surface areas like cars and boats. They are easy to operate, lightweight, portable and are also very affordable. Electric pressure washers are best for smaller jobs.

Gas Pressure Washers are more powerful than their electric counterpart. The smallest gas pressure washer is more powerful than the largest electric pressure washer. Gas pressure washers are more suitable for large jobs, like driveways, decks or even entire houses or buildings. They’re also better for tough jobs like stripping paint.
