Triplex pumps offer greater tool efficiency and longer tool life than axial pumps, but they come with a few strings attached.

In the buyers guide below, we&#8217;ll cover basic pressure washer terms and offer smart shopping tips so you can find the best gas pressure washers for the cleaning jobs around your home.&nbsp;<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PSI and GPM<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you shop around for your pressure washer, keep your eyes open for the PSI and GPM. These numbers will help you measure the pressure washer&#8217;s cleaning power. Let&#8217;s review what they mean:&nbsp;<\/p>    <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is PSI?<\/h4>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PSI measures water pressure and stands for pounds per square inch. If a pressure washer has a 3000 PSI, it can exert a maximum of 3000 pounds per square inch against the dirty surface.&nbsp;<\/p>    <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is GPM?<\/h4>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GPM measures water flow and stands for gallons per minute. If a pressure washer has 2 GPM, 2 gallons of water are flowing through the pressure washer per minute. The higher the GPM, the faster the pressure washer can wash away debris&nbsp;<\/p>    <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Calculate Cleaning Power:<\/h4>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes it can be challenging to compare the cleaning power of different pressure washers. To calculate a cleaning power unit that makes comparing cleaning powers easy, multiply the tool&#8217;s PSI by its GPM:&nbsp;<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PSI x GPM = comparable cleaning power unit<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PSI Levels<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Always wash your dirty surface with the appropriate PSI level. If you only need a pressure washer for light cleaning around the home, there&#8217;s no need to pay extra for power you don&#8217;t need.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you need a pressure washer for demanding jobs, consider a gas-powered or corded electric pressure washer with a high PSI.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember, higher PSI levels may damage some surfaces. If you need to lower the intensity, connect the appropriate spray tip to adjust the water stream.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwma.org\/education\/education-guidelines_for_proper_pressure_washer.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pressure Washer Manufacturers&#8217; Association<\/a> breaks down appropriate PSI levels into three categories:<\/p>    <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best for Light-Duty Work<\/h4>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Up to 1900 PSI<\/li>    <li>Between 1.1 GPM and 1.4 GPM<\/li> <\/ul>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Surfaces including:<\/strong><\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Patio furniture<\/li>    <li>Grills<\/li>    <li>Cars<\/li>    <li>Walkways<\/li>    <li>Boats<\/li>    <li>Windows<\/li>    <li>Dirt bikes<\/li> <\/ul>    <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best for Medium-Duty Work<\/h4>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Between 1900 PSI and 2800 PSI<\/li>    <li>Between 1.8 GPM and 2.5 GPM<\/li> <\/ul>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Surfaces including:<\/strong><\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Driveways<\/li>    <li>Sidewalks<\/li>    <li>Siding<\/li>    <li>Paint prep<\/li> <\/ul>    <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best for Heavy-Duty Work<\/h4>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>2800 PSI or more<\/li>    <li>2.5 GPM or more<\/li> <\/ul>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Surfaces including:<\/strong><\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Decks<\/li>    <li>Patios<\/li>    <li>Oil stains<\/li>    <li>To remove rust, paint, or graffiti.&nbsp;<\/li> <\/ul>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Power Source&nbsp;<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pressure washers can have multiple power sources, including gas, corded electric, and battery. Users often find that each power source serves their needs differently. Consider which cleaning-needs take priority and which power source meets those needs the best.&nbsp;<\/p>    <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gas-powered:&nbsp;<\/h4>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Pros:<\/strong><\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2713 Best power source for frequent heavy-duty cleanings or commercial work.&nbsp;<br>\u2713 Typically has a higher cleaning power than corded electric and battery models.&nbsp;<br>\u2713 Does not need an outlet to operate.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cons:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2717 Most gas-powered models are heavier, noisier, and more expensive than corded electric and battery-powered pressure washers.&nbsp;<br>\u2717 Emits exhaust fumes that are harmful to the user and the environment<br>\u2717 Can be difficult to start<br>\u2717 High-maintenance<br>\u2717 Gasoline creates a smelly workspace<\/p>    <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Corded electric:<\/h4>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Pros:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2713 Most models are suitable for medium to heavy-duty work.&nbsp;<br>\u2713 An eco-friendly alternative to gas-powered pressure washers<br>\u2713 Unlimited run time (as long as the machine doesn&#8217;t overheat)<br>\u2713 Low-maintenance<br>\u2713 Typically lighter, quieter, and more affordable than gas-powered models<br>\u2713 Usually has a higher cleaning power than battery-powered pressure washers.&nbsp;<br>\u2713 Easy to start<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cons:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2717 Needs an outlet to operate<br>\u2717 Cleaning power usually not as high as a gas model&#8217;s cleaning power<\/p>    <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Battery:&nbsp;<\/h4>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Pros:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2713 Low-maintenance<br>\u2713 Easy to start<br>\u2713 Typically lighter, quieter, and more affordable than gas-powered models<br>\u2713 An eco-friendly alternative to gas-powered pressure washers<br>\u2713 Does not need an outlet to operate<br>\u2713 Most models can pull water from a bucket, river, or barrel, making them more portable than most gas-powered or corded-electric models<br>\u2713 Some models have a built-in water reservoir&nbsp;<br>\u2713 Great for on-the-go cleanings, such as on camping, beach, or cabin trips.&nbsp;<\/p>    <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cons:&nbsp;<\/h4>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2717 Best for light-duty cleanings. Cannot handle heavy-duty jobs.&nbsp;<br>\u2717 Limited run time&nbsp;<br>\u2717 The batteries need frequent recharging&nbsp;<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pump<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When shopping for your gas-powered pressure washer, an essential item to consider is the pump. Your pressure washer will likely have one of two types of pumps: axial or triplex.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Which pump is best? That depends on how you plan to use your pressure washer.&nbsp;<\/p>    <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Axial<\/h4>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An axial pump is best for homeowners who plan to use their pressure washer for a few jobs around the home. These low-maintenance pumps won&#8217;t be much of a bother, and they&#8217;ll get the job done with ease.&nbsp;<\/p>    <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Triplex<\/h4>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Triplex pumps are best for operators who plan to use their pressure washer for frequent heavy-duty work. Although these pumps are high-maintenance and raise the shopping bill, they provide the tool a longer lifespan and greater efficiency than the axial pump.&nbsp;<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Amperage<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Amperage is the strength of an electric current in amperes, written amps for short. Amps help measure the maximum time a motor can run continuously without exceeding its temperature limits.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The more amps your corded electric pressure washer has, the better it will be at cooling itself down when the work gets tough. Low temperatures will help prevent the tool from shutting off in the middle of your work.&nbsp;<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hose Length<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you&#8217;re operating a gas, corded electric, or battery pressure washer, a long hose can enhance user mobility. Consider whether a 50-foot high-pressure hose would make a significant difference over a 20-foot high-pressure hose in your workspace.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember, some pressure washers can be very heavy. Some users may prefer a long hose over lugging a hefty machine around.&nbsp;<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Power Cord Length<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Power cords often restrict a user to a specific workspace. A power outlet is necessary, and the power cord can only go so far.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If shopping for a corded electric model, consider whether the power cord is long enough for the machine to reach the dirty surface while remaining connected to the outlet.&nbsp;<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wheel Size<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Working on rugged terrain? A pressure washer with wheels can help you maneuver from place to place. Bigger wheels can increase tool portability and make transportation easier.&nbsp;<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Water Source<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A pressure washer can use lots of water in a single clean. Will you have a good water source to connect your pressure washer to?<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember, your water source must be able to provide the required GPM consistently. If your pressure washer has a 4 GMP, your water source must be able to provide 4 gallons of water per minute.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A well won&#8217;t always be a good water source, as it may dry out if you use too much water. A city water supply will usually be a more reliable source for consistent water.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you don&#8217;t have access to a consistent water supply, consider buying a water tank for your pressure washer. Some pressure washers even come with a built-in water reservoir you can refill in the sink or river.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Remember:<\/strong> You may need a garden hose to connect the pressure washer to the water source.&nbsp;<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Detergent&nbsp;<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Need a dose of extra cleaning power? You may prefer a pressure washer with a built-in detergent tank. Some models have two detergent tanks so that you can store different cleaning aids for various jobs.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Pro Tip:<\/strong> Always read the instruction manual to ensure your chosen cleaning aid is compatible with the machine.&nbsp;<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nozzle Tips<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Different nozzles apply different water pressure. When you need to lower the pressure washer&#8217;s intensity, connect the appropriate nozzle tip to adjust the water&#8217;s spray pattern, angle, and power.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your pressure washer&#8217;s spray tips will either be interchangeable quick-connect nozzles or an all-in-one adjustable nozzle.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Noise&nbsp;<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check your pressure washer&#8217;s noise level, measured in decibels (dBA). Many counties and cities have laws in place to limit noise. Make sure your new tool&#8217;s noise level is legal in your area.&nbsp;<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Potential Risks<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Never misuse a pressure washer; otherwise, you risk causing serious injury to yourself or others. You also risk damaging some surfaces if you do not follow all user instructions.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re not confident in your ability to use a pressure washer safely, consider leaving the tool on the store shelf and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/landscaping\/pressure-washing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">contacting a professional<\/a> to spray down the grime for you.&nbsp;<\/p>    <figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"> <iframe title=\"Pressure Washer Buying Guide | The Home Depot\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sSKxRWr2aGo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe> <\/div><\/figure>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQ About Pressure Washers<\/h2>    <div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1624906864569\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">1. What is the difference between a power washer and a pressure washer?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Both a pressure washer and a power washer use highly pressurized water to wash away dirt and grime. The key difference is that a power washer heats the water. A pressure washer uses only cold water.\u00a0<br\/><br\/>Never assume you can use a power washer on the same surface you used a pressure washer.
