Best electric pressure washer
The stocking every year I try and do a pressure washer review guess what this is it I'm gone break down my two top picks for pressure washers for the average electrical pressure washer for home and cars, homeowner and the way that I did it was as I put the accessories with an Amazon link when you click on that link it'll say do you want to add this to your cart.
So, the reason why I did that is
so that you can stay on that page and you can click it a new page will open up
you can add it to your cart close it down come back look through all the
accessories and the things I'm talking about and then later.
On after you're done with all
that you can go to your Amazon cart all those things will be inside your cart
you can go through hand see what's available what's the price is that what I
want I figured that's just an easier way to do it.
So, this is important to
understand that unit right there is two years old so, I ordered it's almost two
years old ordered July of 2018 from Amazon got it in and I've used that thing
an incredible amount and have fantastic results with Electrical Pressure Washer
for Cars and Home.
So, this is the smaller pump this
is the smaller best electric pressure washer and then
this is the comparable one that's a little bit larger with then in this unit
here has done my driveway and sidewalks twice has done the pool has done the
patio deck has done some fencing.
I loaned it to Barb this winter
and Barb 70-year-old widow went out did her in higher driveway and all her
sidewalks.
she had it for like a month and
she'd do it a little bit at a time so this thing has been abused I take it out
of the shed after six months I give it two poles starts right up so this one
comes the only real difference
There are not many differences
between these two but I think it has to come down with how you use it in the number
of hours that you put on it first there's a sweet spot for cleaning and that's
one thing I've learned.
The sweet spot for cleaning is
about 8,000 cleaning unit so what does that mean you take your psi times your
GPM and that'll give you your cleaning units that's kind of the formula that's
used and both of these are right about8,000 on the cleaning units at that point
with the 3200 psi and 2.5 gallons per minute
You'll never want any more to clean
I'm just telling you I think the biggest problem with best electric pressure washers and people buying electric pressure washers is they're not
sure if it's gone have enough power for them.
This you will never ever want
more power with these two units let me make that clear you can commercially
pressure wash with these two units if you want yes, I've run truck-mounted
$40,000.
Hot water systems and I'm telling
you that you can effectively clean with these two things and clean anything you
want now what's the difference between these two units.
The first is the price and on the
page down below if you go look at that page you'll see the current price I'm
gone Ballpark this for you that one is about369 shipped to your door that one
is about 499 shipped to your door got that so that clues your shipping.
I'm also gone in a few minutes
I'm gone put up how they come box wise and what I love about these units is
there really is no assembly to them you just unbox.
It comes boxed beautifully you
unbox it you just put to get put the handle on you hook the hose and put the
oil and you're all set to go so that's wonderful I hate assembling stuff
another important point is both of these are made in the USA.
Let me tell you why now I want to
stress this I have no affiliation with this company what’s ever none I've
talked to their tech support.
I've picked up a phone and I've
talked to their tech support two or three times over the years you can do that
these things are made in the USA a lot of people claim they are but these units
are made in the USA number one this is actually
The Simpson is the smaller company
of a larger company it's a branch they make commercial cleaning units and
commercial cleaning equipment.
They also make their own water
pumps so they make the water pumps they make an OEM brand and then they make a
triple a brand.
So, their own company supplies the
water pumps for these units I think that's really important next let's talk about
custom branding.
If you have something maybe like
a DE Walt or not guess who probably made that unit Simpson probably made it they
do a lot of private labeling work.
So, if you look at these you say
man that sure looks like that northern total tool unit bought guess what
there's a good chance that Simpson made it slap their labels and brand on it.
So, Simpson is kind of this is
their business this is what they do make that clear so I buy these units I
order them off Amazon I use them test them and I give you my feedback and I'm
just going to show you the difference between the two model there's not a huge
difference for the money but I think I'm still sort of torn between the two of
them for the average Electrical Pressure Washer for Cars and Home, homeowner
that pulls a pressure washer out a few times a years and may unit one full day
or two full day.
I still think that's probably one
of the better units and the reason being is it's small you can pick it up the
weight on that one is about 62 pounds the weight on that one is about 85 pounds
on ballparking and I don't have the exact numbers.
Here so weight difference you've got
about 20 pounds difference in weight that's super light super small but it again
very closes 3,200 psi 3300 psi 2.5gallons per minute 2.5 gallons per minute
they're very close on all their specs the main difference is I'll show you the
few feature differences.
I will do want to make a note that
my older unit did not come with the pneumatic wheels the 10-inch pneumatic wheels
like this one has the just looked and now they do have if you order the smaller
unit it does come with them pneumatic.
Wheels just like this one does so
they have upgraded that it comes with your hose your wand all your tips it comes
with everything that you're gone need for basic pressure washing and I'm gone
show you accessories and the must-have accessory.
Here in a minute okay so this
unit this unit has the Honda GC 190 which is a smaller unit very few a small
gas tank I can put this you run that thing I forget how many hours you can run
that thing it's just very economical to run gas wise this one has a gx210 a ton
of these JC's over at the shop and they're great little engines people a lot of
people say.
You need to be at a GX this is
just a larger sized engine that's all it is a little bit more horsepower and a
larger engine so the engine is one difference the next difference.
The next difference is the water
pump so this unit comes with an OEM brand pump now that's the ones that they
actually make okay so they actually make om it comes with an OEM pump and It
has a overheating ballast on it as well- this unit comes with a little bit larger.
Beefier triple-a pump has at ripple a pump does have the heat release
valve on it but here's one additional feature that this has this has a pressure
adjustment so if I wanted to reduce my pressure down I can back it off or I
keep it turn to the right so I can lower the PSI through this right there.
The other unit does not have that
feature as far as features go that's about it so a little bit different water pump a little bit beefier water pump water
pump has a one-year warranty on it that water pump has a five-year warranty on
it this engine has a two year warranty on it.
One has a three year warranty and again sixty-five pounds versus
83pounds overall cleaning wise and pressure-wise now this one really doesn't
have I have yet to find and I'm sure
there's a way to do it this one really doesn't have an adjustable throttle on
it when you start it the throttle is set and it runs at that and it delivers
your 3200 psi this one does have an adjustable throttle on it just like all
your regular Honda's on it.
You can really crank that thing
up and get some really high cleaning pressure I'm an average homeowner I pull
it out a couple times a year and I use it for half a day that's the unit you
want to go with I'm more of a farm owner big homeowner.
I'm a contractor I own a yard service
and I'm pulling it out every week and I'm using it a ton hours is the time I
think I really think the difference is the amount of hours that you use this
thing is going to take a ton of abuse and a ton of power a ton of hours that one is not both you can get extended
warranties from Amazon which is a great warranty by the way.
You can get two or three year
extended warranty on top of the manufacturer's warranty it runs typically they
run like 29 to$59 if you want to look at those now let's talk about the
accessories the unit's come with all of your tips the unit's come let me show
you the black inlet hose all of these have a hose suction device or a soap
suction device.
so it has a little COEs okay so
here is right here is your hose you stick this stick this end into a cleaning bottle
so you stick this end right hereinto into your bottle bleach or soap or whatever
you want and it sucks in rights there okay that's where it sucks in so it does
not go through the pump system.
It only goes through the
discharge rights there that's why you can run anything you want through it but
all of these rights there see if it comes with a zero 15 2540 and a soap this
soap tip you have to have that soap tip in for the suction to engage it's a
very low pressure.
So, that's the only time if this
valve opens up and allows intake into here so it goes out through your hose
remember this is not the end this is the pressure out this is your in alright
let me talk about accessories real quick and while I'm here because this is an
important one okay.
So, basically your unit is like
this it's hard sometimes to reach in there and you got a hot muffler here so
what I always do the best accessory for any pressure washer is this little
extension right there has a little spring on it cost you like five bucks and I
put a link to that on.
The page below matter of fact I
think I even put a link to a two pack of these because I use them all the time.
I even have only if you look
there's also one on this unit too same thing I always do it always have one on
it the unit comes with oh that's about a what an 18-inch one basically In ever
use this unless I'm doing something like a fence as an example you want to get
a thirty to thirty three inch extension along so that you can use the surface
cleaner you're standing upright.
I'm using my surface cleaner and I'll
show you that here in a minute this is the surface cleaner now I'm gone be doing
a video on I've ordered five of these things for you guys this one right there
goes out of stock all the time but it's my favorite and it's pretty beefy now
this one is what two years old almost it's pretty beefy and of course it has
this you'll see it those little nozzles
it has little jet nozzles here it spins around has brushes.
what happens is you don't get any
spray on you whatsoever okay any mud bouncing back up when you miss the
concrete you must have one of these if you are cleaning concrete every professional
company not someone that charges money to do this every professional company
people that understand high-tech pressure washer cleaning will always show up
to clean your driveway with a surface cleaner it reduces your labor almost
fifty percent
I would say it doesn't blow dirt
all over your lawn it doesn't tear apart things if some ones how if someone
were to show up to clean my driveway without a surface cleaner It old him to go
away I would especially tell him to go away if they showed up to clean my pool
because pool decks are a different type of cement it's a very fine cement.
You don't want a wand because you
can actually etch it you always clean pools with a surface cleaner and they
make surface cleaners that are enormous they make three tiers of them they can
go up to $700professional companies use surface cleaner so let's see must-have
always use the 0g hose.
I don't use the big green one I
only use the small 5/8 ways use zeros G hose on this after I shut down I'll
show you I went ahead and grabbed some clip of me actually doing this you want
to put a little bit of pump saver inside this pump you do that every time.
You'll never have a problem with
your pumps one of the problems people end up having problem is with their pumps
is because they don't use a pump saver every time they shut it down or every
time they store fuel really try really try and find than oil free gas all my gas cans now or ethanol
free because
I finally had a station that
started carrying ethanol free gas it's expensive it's one and a half to two
times more than normal gas but it'll keep your interior parts and metal parts
from rusting that's the whole key to a corrosion is one of the keys for ethanol
free yes you can add products in there that protect against it.
If you don't but you if you're
going to use an ethanol included gas always use some kind of stable or something
with the ethanol protection in it I really think the only decision between
these two units is the amount of hours that you're gone put on this I can't
tell you how many thousands of these things we have sulfur Simpson off of my
referral thousands of them it's now it's now one of the top sellers on Amazon that
unit there the only time.
I think you should go to that
unit is if you can do a lot of pressure washing let's say you own a grass
company a grass cutting company you want to include pressure washing in your business
you could use that one you could definitely do that you could actually use on a
commercial level and feel comfortable with it so anyways we went out we tested these
Mal in was here we tested these with.
We started doing some pressure washing
testing with the surface cleaner and again we don't use any chemicals on our
cement because we don't want those chemicals going into our lawn you will actually
take off every time you clean concrete you will take like I don't know how many
thousands of an inch off the top of that concrete.
So, there really is no reason for
a cleaner unless you have something like an oil stain you do not have to use
cleaners it'll be bright white without any cleaner whatsoever of course that's
always a debate where weal ways start a bar fight how is just bleach because of
mold what okay dude whatever you don't understand how mold works and you don't
understand.
You don't understand that there
is fifty to a hundred thousand mold spores in every cubic yard of air and it
consistently comes back in the only way that mold and mildew can survive
there's through carbohydrates it's a long story we'll get into that later but
not in this video one of the things I hate most in life is putting stuff
together fortunately these things are simple it's basically a handle and
sometimes wheels so let's take it out of the box.
Just look comes the handle with
the short one all your tips comes with everything makes it so nice here's your
oil this comes with kind of a high end pump and this is your breather valve and
there's a little red valve that you need to put that in this unscrew this take that
red plug off all these tips these are different these are different degrees
except for the black one the black one is a soap one.
so if you happen to use the soap
fill line you have your most using you have to have that black one you're such
a girl this one solvent sucker goes right here hey guys so I'm here with me
today and we're gone run both of these units and I've already done this test so
I know the answer but I want her to run this test as well too I just want to
run both of them to see if there's any performance difference.
I want her to see if she can feel
if there's any performance issues between the two so side by side same a same
surface cleaner attachment and we'll just see if there's any difference so
let's go ahead now, I'm gone go ahead and squeeze the handle for her but
whenever.
You start one of these units
always hold the handle otherwise you get back pressure on the pulp I don't think
you need to choke so what was our conclusion between the two units.
I think we both agreed the larger
pressure washer which if you go to the page I think I haven't shown as the
larger one the large unit because it's the larger engine because we were able
to rev that engine all the way up rpm wise I think we felt a little more pressure
matter of fact.
If you saw her she actually was
using two hands to kind of hold down the surface cleaner because it almost
wanted to hover a little bit but all in all the two have really the same
cleaning capability I just think this one probably has a tiny bit more volume
and a tiny bit more over all cleaning ability.
So if you want to run a pressure
washer a lot if you want to have a ton of cleaning power and a long term and
just run the living heck out of it and you're gone put a lot of hours on it and
go with the one that's a little more
expensive if you're like me if you're the average homeowner that pulls.
It out a couple times a year and maybe
uses it for a full afternoon I think this unit you just weigh the two out but
again they both have about the same cleaning units because you've got3,200 psi
3300 psi and they're both 2.5personal preference if you need to throw the thing
into the bed of a truck.
I will tell you that I can lift
this thing up all by myself the smaller one I can lift that thing up put it in
my truck because it's only 60 some pounds that one being over 80 pounds is a
little more of a challenge you can definitely yank your background
so if you want to transport it
around and throw it in a truck a smaller one the smaller one's a little bit
easier moving around the garage it kind of so either one the adjustment on the
pressure the only time I can think about wanting to lower my adjustment without
the RPMs maybe is if you want to wash a truck I guess.
I can't think of anything else
but like I said in the description below I'm going to link to that now May and
one of her friends I think are going to come over and we're gone do the full
pressure king of the driveway click subscribe and then I’m gone test out these
different surface cleaners we went we
went all the way up to an 18 inch surface cleaner.
which by the way doesn't really
work that well with these units I just don't think there was enough power
behind it18 inch is kind of excessive it's just too big the 15 inch and I will
tell you that when you go to the page these surface cleaners have a tendency to
runout of stock.
so I when you click on the surface
cleaner link it'll actually take you to a search page for all different kinds
of surface cleaners in the 15 inch category you can pick and choose they were
not that expensive and it's the best investment you'll ever make again if you
have a swimming pool do not clean a swimming pool cement with a wand always use
a surface cleaner barb like.
I said she borrowed that unit
from me she did her entire unit with that surface cleaner that's the same
surface cleaner I've had for almost two year she did all her driveway and all her
sidewalks all by herself and they're gorgeous absolutely sparkling white no chemicals
just water in a surface cleaner she was absolutely thrilled.
So, like I said I'll link
everything down on the page below I'll try and do several different applications
of this maybe the fence maybe some other house maybe someone brick all
different kinds of stuff I hope you enjoyed it hope this helped
