A pressure washer is an excellent way to ensure that your home, porch, or patio stays looking shiny and new, even after years of regular use. A high-pressure wash can clear off layers of dirt and grime and deliver a fresh look, even for locations that haven't been cleaned in years. While there are a variety of designs and features to choose from, narrowing down all the options can be daunting. That's why we've collected the best of the best for you here in one place!
Sun Joe SPX3000
Lean, green, pressure washing machine
A powerful and portable pressure washer at a reasonable price.
Pros:
- Inexpensive
- Maximum 2030 PSI
- With two 0.9 liter detergent tanks
Cons:
- You can find more powerful
The mega-popular Sun Joe SPX3000 has a maximum 2030 PSI and can be used for cleaning cars, patios, grills, decks, even boats, and trucks. This portable pressure washer weighs 31 pounds, making it one of the most portable pressure washers in our lineup. However, you'll find a higher maximum PSI if you opt for a more expensive and weightier gas-powered pressure washer.
Sun Joe has two onboard detergent tanks (0.9 liters each) that carry different detergents to help you multitask as you go.
Westinghouse WPX2700
A powerful and high-end pressure washer
This gas-powered pressure washer is ready to deep-clean decks and siding.
Pros:
- Four nozzle tips
- 3.3-liter fuel capacity
- 2700 PSI
Cons:
- Expensive and heavy
Gas-powered pressure washers offer the added benefit of an onboard gas container which eliminates the need for extension cables. The Westinghouse WPX2700 is a great gas option, though it's is a little expensive. With a 2700 PSI capability, you can use it to bust just about any dirt and grime.
There's a built-in soap container and four nozzles for targeted and high-power spray.
Karcher K2 Plus
Complete with two spray wands to choose from
An inexpensive pressure washer with a dirt blasting spray wand.
Pros:
- Only 16.8 pounds
- Super affordable
- Two spray wands
Cons:
- Lacking in power with only 1600 PSI
The Karcher K2 Plus is a great budget pressure washer. With a weight of 16.8 pounds and a 35-foot electric cord, it is relatively portable despite its larger dimensions. It would be hard to find a pressure washer with over 1600 PSI for this price, but it's definitely not the choice for those looking for a high-pressure and powerful machine.
The Karcher K2 Plus comes with two nozzles—a Vario Power Spray wand and a Dirtblaster spray wand. For blasting patio and decking, it will do the job just fine.
