Petrol Pressure Washer FAQs

Should I buy an electric or petrol pressure washer?

When it comes to choosing an electric or petrol powered pressure washer, it's all about what suits your needs. They both pack a powerful punch, but the choice usually boils down to your unique preferences and the jobs you need to tackle.

Electric pressure cleaners are your go-to for domestic use, lighter than their petrol counterparts and with a cleaning power of up to 2600 PSI, like the Karcher K7 Compact. They’re a breeze to use, easy to handle and maintain, and you won't need to store excess fuel.

If you're after some serious cleaning power for heavy-duty jobs, a high pressure petrol washer is your best mate, as they have a cleaning power of up to 4000 PSI, like the Jetwave Raptor, making them ideal for commercial or industrial use. They are a tad heavier due to the added weight of the fuel and motor, but they come with wheels which means you can move them with ease. Plus, since you don't need to stay close to an electricity source, they can go wherever you go.

How to start a petrol pressure washer?

Before you unleash the power of your petrol water pressure cleaner, let's make sure you know how to get it started safely:

• Make sure the petrol and oil are topped up
• Connect the hose to the trigger gun and pressure washer
• Connect to your water supply and turn the water on
• Release the washer gun trigger to bleed air out, and attach your desired nozzle or accessory
• Wheel your machine to where you’ll be using it, checking for any leaks or loose parts before firing it up
• Switch your pressure cleaner on, turn the choke and fuel on and prime the engine, then pull the cord to start the engine
• Once the engine’s purring steadily, disengage the choke, and you're good to go
• Once you’re done tackling your grubby task, turn the pressure cleaner off and release the excess pressure

Cleaning can be a pain, but when it's time to give your place a good spruce-up, petrol pressure cleaners will get your outdoor space looking schmick!
