Our gas powered washer is more powerful and reliable. It comes with several nozzles designed for different uses. It has the power to blast the dirt off of concrete and can be set to wash your car or your siding.

Each have there pros and cons. I have electric that 10 years old. But I make sure water flowing before I power it up and I drain it after use.
Gas is great as long as owner knows how to maintain it. You never start the engine without water flowing through the pump, don’t take long for pump to over heat and burn out. With both types you want to hook up the water line turn water on and let all the air and water flow though pump. Then connect the wand control handle to hose. That way you have all the air out and water flow through pump.
Most owners kill there pressure washer within few months not following instructions.
