Enough pressure for concrete and siding without gas maintenance, and it starts with a trigger pull.
Cuts through years of oil staining and mildew on concrete faster than any electric unit we tried.
Great weekend washer for cars, patio furniture, and fences at a low price.
Lower pressure is a feature here: it strips algae from vinyl without forcing water behind the panels.
Turns a two-hour striped driveway job into a 30-minute even clean. The single best pressure-washer upgrade.
Each washer cleaned the same 200 sq ft of stained concrete and vinyl siding. We scored cleaning speed, hose and wand quality, and noise.
