Three tips when buying a pressure washer
There are two key indicators of how well a pressure washer performs: the maximum operating pressure and maximum flow rate.
Maximum operating pressure is measured in bar and indicates how powerfully the water is sprayed by the pressure washer. The higher the force, the faster the cleaning.
Maximum flow rate is measured in litres per hour (L/hr) and shows you how much water is sprayed by the pressure washer. Again, the higher the litres per hour, the faster you can expect to finish jet washing.
These two measurements should not be viewed separately – you multiply them to find out the “cleaning efficiency". However, the efficiency usually needs to be tested practically in order to be reliable.
Many premium models come with accessories for facade, roof, car, etc. This can be worth the extra cost if you make sure you get a package of accessories tailored to your jet washing needs.
One frequently overlooked feature is how easy the pressure washer is for you to manoeuvre. Even if the performance is excellent, a cumbersome pressure washer will make jet washing a struggle. So consider the surface on which you’ll be rolling the pressure washer and make sure that the wheels, weight and hose length are suitable for where you want to use it outdoors.
