I have a gas powered Honda pressure washer but only use it for my concrete driveway once a year. It will clean my vinyl siding but forces water underneath the siding. On painted surfaces it removed the paint. And you will get wet and tired dragging the thing around with you.

Get a soft bristle brush with a long handle, some warm water with Dawn dish soap and your garden hose. It safely cleans my house without any damage and actually does a better job than the power washer. I would never buy another power washer again.
