A pressure washer gets used when it is easy to use. That is the whole game. The most powerful unit on the market will sit under a tarp in the corner if getting it out takes ten minutes, and the modest one on the wall will get pulled out every weekend.
Our range covers both ends. Wall mounted units with retractable hose reels for the home garage and detailing setup, and petrol commercial machines for concrete, driveways and trade work.
Electric or petrol
Electric
Quieter, lighter, no fumes, and safe to run inside a closed garage. Plugs into a standard power point. This is the right answer for washing cars, bikes, boats and outdoor furniture, and it covers the majority of what people actually use a pressure washer for. See the electric pressure washer range.
Petrol
More pressure and more flow than any domestic electric unit, and no power lead to worry about. Loud, heavier, and strictly outdoor use because of the exhaust. Buy petrol when you are stripping concrete, cleaning large hard surfaces or working away from power. See the petrol pressure washer range.
Wall mounted or portable
Wall mounting is the single biggest change you can make to how often you use the thing. Mount it once, pull the hose out, let it retract. No trolley to drag out, no hose to coil by hand, no wet lead across the floor. The trade-off is that it lives in one spot, so the hose reel length has to reach everywhere you want to wash.
Wall mounted pressure washers and retractable pressure washers.
Pressure and flow rate
Pressure
Measured in PSI or bar. It gets all the attention in the marketing, and for stripping paint off concrete it matters. For cars it matters less than people think, and too much of it damages paint, badges and trim.
Flow rate
Measured in litres per minute. This is what actually determines how fast you rinse a panel or clear a driveway. Two machines at the same PSI with different flow rates are very different tools. If you are comparing units and only one number is quoted, ask for the other.

Common questions
How much pressure do I need for a car?
Less than most people assume. Mid-range pressure with decent flow is the right combination for vehicles. Save the high pressure for concrete and pavers, and keep the nozzle moving.
Can I use a snow foam cannon?
Yes, on any unit in the range. Check the connection type on the specific model so you order the matching fitting.
