Title: Petrol PW For Occasional Jobs
Post by: nokmond on April 13, 2014, 11:24:19 am
Hi all, could someone advise me on a decent petrol pressure washer that doesn't cost the earth?

Most of my business is window cleaning and gutter cleaning but I do get a couple of drive ways to clean every month or 2. I've just been using a nilfisk 130 bar with great results but obviously no where near as quick as a petrol one.

I've seen some on eBay from Germany for just over £200 but I've no idea what to look for on petrol washers.

Any advice is much appreciated!

Think you should stick with a popular make . Was looking for cheap models but decided to pay more and get a decent one. Ended up getting Honda , for me it's a investment  and will last for years and will make  you cash. There are other good makes out there , but do your research. A lot of cheap  copies out there.

What's the most powerful petrol washer that can run from a outside tap?

I think the max is 15 litres per minute.
can't tell you for sure  as my pressure washer is 21 litres pm and can only run from a tank

Im in the same boat as you Nokmond, I mainly do windows but Im getting more and more interest from customers regarding pressure washing,

I keep looking at this pressure washer

It's got plenty of power and flow but for the money there must be something not right with it, I am I'll be looking at getting a flat surface cleaner as well as I have been geting grest results with the one I have now.
