Pressure washers can blast years of dirt and grime off patios and paths, as well as tackle everyday cleaning tasks like washing the car and hosing down equipment. We\u2019ve compared lots of different models to find the best pressure washers out there, including both mains-powered and battery-operated kits.<\/p>\n

What to consider when buying a pressure washer<\/h2>\n
Most pressure washers have the same basic features, but there are a few factors you might want to consider before you make your purchase:<\/p>\n
Water source<\/strong> \u2013 if you don\u2019t have an outdoor tap<\/a>, make sure you choose a pressure washer with a syphoning kit to suck up water from a butt or container<\/li>\n
Mains or battery powered<\/strong> \u2013 usually, mains-powered washers are more powerful than battery-operated ones, but you do have to contend with a cable as you clean<\/li>\n
Accessories<\/strong> \u2013 some pressure washers come with handy accessories like different nozzle heads, brush attachments and extension poles<\/li>\n<\/ul>
Pressure washer or power washer?<\/h3>\n
Many people use \u2018pressure washer\u2019 and \u2018power washer\u2019 interchangeably, but there\u2019s one key difference between them: power washers heat up the water before spraying it. They\u2019re often used in a commercial setting and they\u2019re useful for getting rid of heavy marking.<\/p>\n
Which power level is appropriate for my needs?<\/h3>\n
You\u2019ll need to pay attention to the water pressure, motor wattage and maximum water flow rate.<\/p>\n
For a budget-friendly or battery-powered pressure washer, you can expect to get a 1600W motor and a water pressure of 90 bar or less, which will be enough to hose down cars and garden equipment.<\/p>\n
For a high-powered pressure washer, look for models with a 1600W-2500W motor and water pressure up to 150 bar \u2013 ideally adjustable between 90 and 150 bar. These will be able to remove years of dirt from patios and paths, and cope with everyday cleaning.<\/p>\n
