I understand that buying a pressure washer is not as simple as just going to the shop and getting one that fits your budget.
And that is why I have prepared this easy to follow pressure washer buying guide.
After you've settled on the best commercial pressure washer for the money, remember to consult the manufacture's instruction manual in order to experience the best results.
There are a whole lot of actors, other than the washer's price, you need to consider before investing your hard-earned cash on a pressure washer.
The best commecial pressure washer for the money should have the following features:
Power: Depending on the model (gas or electric), you need to look at the specified HP or Amp values.
The higher the horsepower or amp value, the more power the washer will provide.
Pressure and water flow: You also need to look at the PSI and GPM figures.
PSI (short for pounds per square inch) indicates the water pressure, while GPM (short for gallons per minute) indicates the total flow rate.
If you want to calculate the real cleaning power of the machine, you can multiply these two numbers. The model with the highest result will be the most powerful.
Wands and Nozzles: These accessories determine the efficiency and usability of the unit. Some models offer adjustable and interchangeable wands and nozzle tips, which make the washer fit for various cleaning jobs.
Obviously, the models that offer more in terms of accessories will be more effective in helping you with outdoor cleaning tasks.
Additional Features: You may also want to look at additional features like safety valves, water sensors, cleaning solution tanks and injection features to determine the absolute best model for your needs.

Sun Joe is one of the best brands that offer good electric pressure washers with a lot of functions and very affordable prices. If you want an electric model, you cannot go wrong with Sun Joe.
AR is another decent brand that offers affordable and efficient electric models. Although we don't think their models are as good as Sun Joe's, they have some of the best-selling models on the market.
