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.

You make a good point. For the bigger jobs I'm thinking about I wouldn't do those frequently at all, even the smaller gas-powered home owner pressure washers would be too small. And all I need for washing vehicles is an electric one. Maybe that's the route I need to consider: rent big one for big/infrequent jobs, buy small electric one for small/frequent jobs.

Somewhere around 2500psi is about where you can clean well. They key is a high GPM output. More water, more work done. A turbo nozzle will turn most washers into a beast if you buy the correct orifice size for your pressure-gpm.

Pro tip. Research makes and models and read lots of reviews. Once you decide, check walmart.com for their price on it. They carry a lot of them, and you can return to any store. This is important because pw are shipped via freight (big arse truck) usually.

My question would be, what are you going to use it on?

For lighter or delicate things, electric is perfect but for basically everything else, gas is the route to go
