Get an electric pressure washer or gas-powered?

I've been looking at pressure washers. I need one around the house to do general cleaning: bricks, driveway, walkways, etc.
I don't know how reliable the electric ones are or if they're a hassle. Should I go with the gas powered washer or are there any electric versions worth looking at?

I've only used gas powered.
And it seems like electrical coupled with water could be an issue

Electric if you want to water the plants from a distance.
Gas for any type of pressure cleaning.

I have a 2000psi electric and it has worked fine cleaning brick, concrete, deck and siding.
I prefer the convenience of not having to deal with gasoline.

I have a Sun Joe electric pressure washer I got from Walmart for like $150.
It's 2030 PSI, 1.76 gallons per minute.
It cleans bricks easily. I also did my whole concrete driveway with it. It got the job done but I'm sure it takes longer than with a gas pressure washer because in order to get the pressure needed to remove the dirt from the concrete, you have to hold the nozzle fairly close to the ground which reduces the width of the fan of water spraying out of the nozzle.
I'm assuming with more power that you can get from a gas pressure washer that you can spray a wider fan of water and clean large areas much quicker.

Look into renting a real high powered gas one. I purchased a gas and it takes me a long time to do the cleaning that I need to do. Plus I haven't touched it in about 5 years. I wish I had just rented.

My neighbor hired my other neighbors kid to pressure wash his driveway earlier this summer. Kid had an electric. He was freaking sitting down while do it. I guess cause his back was starting to hurt. It took him the whole weekend lol

Gas by a mile unless you're doing very light work and not often

Gas.
Shop flow rate, not pressure. They all make a shitload of pressure, at least the ones I've seen. Flow rate over 3000 psi is where you make shite happen fast.

I bought electric from Sams. Does exactly what I need for concrete, brick, and fences. Never have to fill it up. Would buy again.

Simpson 3200 from tractor supply is awesome

DO NOT buy electric. Will not do it. Way more power and I also am somewhat concerned with the electric/water combo.
Had algae growing all over one side of the house and it looks like new after pressure washing it.

PSI is great but I thought it was the GPM that really makes the difference?

electricity and water?

You need gas powered if you plan on using it after sundown while armed. It'll complete the look.
