Electric Power Washers

Electric power washers are designed to tackle mostly light duty household cleaning jobs...

such as washing vehicles, removing stains, stripping paint, cleaning siding, brightening wood, etc.

While they are not heavy duty and don't have the power of their gas engine counterparts, they are still the perfect solution for many homeowners.  An electric power washer is generally compact, light, and easy to move.  They can be used indoors AND outdoors.  They also cost quite a bit less than gas pressure washers.

Campbell Hausfeld PW1350 1,350 PSI, 1.3 GPM Electric Pressure Washer

Here's a light duty, and super cheap electric pressure washer.  The PW1350 is getting alot of rave reviews.  For just under $100 bucks, this little beauty is light weight, compact, easy to move and store, has a universal motor with an instant "start/stop" system, so the washer can rest when the trigger isn't engaged (this feature will definitely extend the motor's life).  It has a 35 ft. powercord with GFCI for additional safety, and a 19 foot hose.  It has swivel adapters for fast and easy hose connections.  The Campbell Hausfield PW1350 is ideal for washing vehicles, removing stains, stripping paint, cleaning siding, and brightening wood.

 FAIP PowerWasher 1,800 PSI 1.6 GPM Electric Pressure Washer Model PWS1800

The FAIP PWS1800 will make short work of some of the more demanding tasks at home.  Producing 1800 psi at 1.6 gpm, this unit offers plenty of power.  The "Automatic Total Stop" system only uses the motor when the trigger is engaged, which will prolong motor life.   You can easily adjust spray pressure from low to high.  The PWS1800 comes with a "turbo" nozzle for the real tough jobs...such as cleaning driveways and sidewalks.  It comes with a 23 foot hose and "easy connect" fittings.  One nice thing is the hose reel kit that is included.  You'll also get a heavy duty 35 ft. GFCI protected power cord.

The FAIP PWS1800 offers alot of value and power for the money.  We recently found this unit online for $159.99.  Click here for details of that offer and to read dozens of user reviews.

Karcher 1,850 PSI 1.5 GPM Electric Pressure Washer K 5.85 MR

The Karcher K 5.85 MR is another good unit with lots of power, 1850 PSI.  As with the 2 models listed above, the motor only runs when the trigger is pulled.  This reduces noise, power consumption, and prolongs motor life.  It has a built in hose reel.  The "DirtBlaster Spray Wand" reportedly boasts "50% more cleaning power" to clean brick, concrete, stone, metal, and other tough to clean surfaces.

For less intense cleaning, the Vario Power Spary Wand (VPS) allows you to dial up the amount of pressure you need.  You can twist to the lowest setting for detergent application.

Karcher 1850 PSI K 5.85 MR electric power washers can be purchased for $179.99.
