New Pressure Washer
1 - 8 of 8 Posts
Not sure that they make a gas powered 1200 psi pressure washer but I recently purchased a 3400 psi Dewalt pressure washer and so far we love it, only done about a dozen jobs with it but it runs great and Dewalt has always had some quality tools. I did however find a Dewalt 1200 psi electric pressure washer and attached a pic........not sure your price range but always keep in mind you get what you pay for good tools = great jobs and long jevity. I attached pic of gas powered 3400 psi washer as well. Happy hunting!

GPM is just as important as PSI when buying a pressure washer. It might have 3400 psi but if it only puts out minimal GPM's it can take you forever to clean something.

I buy mine a little differently. I stay with a Honda engine and look for a cat pump. I've only bought two in the last 25 years but they have served me well. Use non ethanol gas with fuel stabilizer as well. Good luck

I have 3400 PSI as well. 1400 seems really low to me. You're almost better off just getting a good hose nozzle. What is it for?

When I looked at the pressure washer selection at the local home center ... I found pressure washers that were either too 'big' or too 'small.' I found the 'perfect' pressure washer at Sherwin-Williams.
I wanted the tool for removing badly blistered / flaked paint, prior to starting over. This task calls for more than what you need for cleaning. Too much pressure, though, and you risk damage to the surface.
Sherwin-Williams offers the Job Pro 2703, a custom model for S-W, by M-T-M. It has both the pressure and the volume you need.

Simpson is the best IMO.
Whatever you do, avoid the cheap Troy-Builts from Lowe's. Lots of plastic parts in the pump that fail prematurely. A good PW with the PSI you seek will be at least $700 and up. Anything below $500 falls into the "throwaway after 2 years" category.
