    Default Need recommendation for an electric pressure washer

    My Honda just died. Am I going to be happy with an electric one?

    Somewhere there's an ongoing thread about this. I'm in the same situation I need a new one. Electric just sounds ideal. But I'm struggling to wrap my head around the fact that it will do everything I want it to do.

    I’ve got a little ryobi that I love. It’s quiet while running and super light. Packs up and rolls like a small piece of luggage. I think it’s 1800 psi. They are great for small jobs like cars, boats, campers, sidewalks and spraying off the porch and deck. If you are looking for something to do an entire house especially anything bigger than a single story I would get a gas powered one.

    Yep, see the other thread or go to HD and buy that little Ryobi you can tote around.
    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

    I'm in the market myself. After reading the other thread, I plan to pickup a Ryobi this week. Hopefully it will hold up for knocking mud off the truck.

    Water and electricity just don’t mix in my mind. I think I’ll stick to gas engines for my pressure washing needs

    I have a greenworks (2000psi I think) that I use almost daily to wash the boat down and have used for regular cleaning around the house. Unit itself has held up well, cart it was mounted too rusted out about a year in. Electric certainly has its advantages and applications.

    There's a gfci on the plug in and the cord is hella long.

    I have a greenworks and and Dewalt 4gpm monster with a Honda 391 on it.

    I havent cranked the Dewalt monster in over a year. The only reason I do crank it is to use it on the surface cleaner to shine up the driveway.

    If my greenworks died today, I'd replace it by tomorrow, latest.
