Most pressure washers have a stream that is 50 times more powerful than the average garden hose. But because the water is pressurized and comes out through a small hole, you are actually using less water than you would with your regular garden hose. Take a look at the types of areas you want to clean and how often you plan to use the washer, and whether you’ve had previous good experiences with a particular brand of motor, in selecting both the size and the brand of engine you want.

Here are some important things to know before you choose a pressure washer. Learn about psi, gpm, and find out whether petrol or electric power cleaners are better.

Wilks-USA is a petrol pressure washer master, and of the company’s range we think the TX750i is the best choice right now. It is powered by a 8HP 210cc four-stroke engine, which is advertised as having "stubborn reliability" as well as good fuel efficiency, too. Wilks USA have obviously thought long and hard about how to get around the weight problems their RX550i is having though. The included 8 m hose is fine for getting around a small patio on its own, but the real gem is the extension hose included in the set. A petrol pressure washer can offer up to 150 at a minimum going up to about 275 bars. This is a lot of power and you likely won’t need that much if you just plan to wash your windows or bicycle.

The Core 140 also features an internal hose reel that is 6 metres in length, as well as a plug and play sprayer detergent system. The spray gun can also be attached with two heads, one for "gentle" application and one for “rough". Wilks have set up a UK based technical support line to deal with any queries you might have, and also given this product a one year warranty.Easy starting with ReadyStart means you don’t need to manually prime the engine before pulling the recoil cord. The pressure cleaning machine has a decent fuel tank with a capacity of 3.5 litres. Its detergent container measure 4 litres and prevents repeated refilling. comes with two separate hoses. One of the hoses is 20-metre long that you can use for general cleaning. Another 8-metre hose is only for a soap dispenser. There is no wrong answer to this question, of course. It all depends on your needs since the two types have distinct advantages and disadvantages.

PPPW-3100 has an impressive water flow rate of 11 litres per minute, which is economical in comparison to other models. It’s very effective in reducing your utility bills. An additional foam box is very helpful when you want a shiny finish on the cars. Starting with the basics, you get a 44 mm long straight attachment made form metal with brass fittings on either end. The push fitting takes any of the five different nozzles that are stored handily in the pressure washer body. The four nozzles included with this power washer are one for when you use the detergent option and three that spray water in different degrees of fan shapes – 0° (straight out), 15° (narrow fan) and 40°(wide fan). A 9 metre length of pressure hose is included, but you may need to extend this or replace it with a longer hose if you find it a little short, however, at just under 30ft long, it’s not too short for most jobs either. ProsThe second technological feature is ReadyStart. This makes the recoil start easy to operate by taking away the need to manually prime the engine or manually adjust the choke. This means that even those who aren’t used to starting engines (except by turning a key) can use this power washer from scratch.

Although my first impression of the Wilks USA RX550i wasn’t good, thanks to a useless manual and a few swapped out parts, it was thankfully just a temporary blip. Once I’d fiddled with all the parts and worked out what did what, I found this to be a very useful tool to have around.

The best petrol pressure washers are: 

Unlike electric pressure washers, which are often made out of plastic, petrol pressure washers tend to be built a bit more sturdily and will probably have metal casing making them the most durable if properly maintained with oil. It’s not the most powerful but it’s very well built with a steel frame and an engine from a car company you can trust, Hyundai (at least I have a Hyundai so I hope you can trust them!). The wheels are also puncture-proof for easy mobility.
