(Hence the reason many medium to large pressure washers are gas engine driven.)īelt drive is more costly, but it isolates the pump from motor vibration leading to possibly longer life. Electric lends itself to auto-start-stop and easy flip of a switch start-up for cold water (and hot if the heater is vented to the outside.) The unit will be limited to the availability of 230V at 40 + amps. The to be delivered hot water will be electric pump, diesel heat. 4 gpm should work well on the surface cleaner. Hot water should work nicely on my greasy/oily victims. Until I decided to go nuts and order a 3000 psi / 4 gpm hot water machine. If I was to buy another cold water, I'd get something like 4000 psi / 4gpm. I would prefer more flow for my surface cleaner. Works well for most of my 'home-owner' stuff. I have a cold water, Honda/Cat direct drive. I then remembered I was on GJ so why would high end tools shock me! When I read what machines some posters have I was initially shocked as many are straight up commercial units $$. Not a big deal for your uses unless you decided to run accessories of it like turbo nozzles, flat surface cleaners and the like.

Keep in mind that the psi rating on machines at this price are typically very optimistic. I don't know your budget but you can get a lot done with a 3000 psi rated machine in the $400 - $600 range that a few members suggested. My Mi-T-M machine is belt drive and has been great other than the Briggs Vanguard engine that I believe was built to test my patience and sanity. Once again more cost but I like belt drive over direct drive machines. I have one and although more steps are needed to use it and it is tethered to a power outlet it has worked well. They connect to cold water units with regular hose and connections. If not you can always add it later as they make machines that run off household electric and heat with kerosene (hot box). Hot water is great if you can handle the higher price. I still have that Honda General pump powered original North Star machine I started with in 1996. I agree with those who recommend Northern Tool with the Honda engine and Cat, Comet or General pumps. I was in the pressure washing business back when.
