Great video and I have a Gas power washer and the HF electric power washer i also bought a Workx cordless because I have no running water at my place at the lake so i cant use either power washers there . i was very impressed how fantastic the Workx preformed . I fill up a few 5 gallon water jugs and it makes quick work of my projects. I have three other workx tools so i was already in the battery platform . I have been watching your videos for years now and enjoy them a lot
Thank you ,Bear! I am a noob to pressure washers. I needed this video to know this basics.
Thank you so much for the tips especially about danger of water in hose sitting in the sun all day. 👍
Hello again Red and Mrs. Bear
Thank you for another Great Video. Your Video is very timely as we jump from spring into summer. Again thank you
I purchased the Kobalt 40v cordless on clearance for around $33. I use it inside the shop during winter in Alaska and I would say it's works great, I can just fill a few 5 gallon buckets instead of attaching a hose which will clean my van with less than 15 gallons and not get everything else in the shop wet, it's only 600psi but gets the job done. Well worth the amount paid.
The "Ryobi pressure washer foam blaster" on the Ryobi 1900psi 1.2gpm electric pressure washer, produces more foam than the cheap Amazon knockoffs. It is a fantastic combination for washing cars and trucks without ruining your paint. Best budget setup unless you get a Active VE56 1090psi 1.84gpm or Karcher K1700 1700psi 1.1gpm.
Somewhere I've seen pressure washers compared by "cleaning power" which was essentially the GPM multiplied by the pressure. (Maybe they did something a little more complicated, but that was the general idea.) The actual value isn't important, but "bigger is better" and it illustrates how higher pressure but almost no water doesn't do very much, and neither does a big bucket of water with almost no pressure.
I have the Hart battery powered washer. It is underpowered and you can not change the nozzles but it works well as a washer for your car and stuff like lawn furniture. It is capable of cleaning some concrete but it will take a while with its narrow cleaning path and lower power.
Thank you, talking bear. I just bought a Simpson 3100 psi at Farm & Fleet, still unpacking it at the moment. I'll be using it for residential and general cleaning. I'm really glad to hear your comments about Simpson. I bought it because I'm tired of the crapshoot of renting from home depot. Got a bad one yesterday, they took it back and refunded my deposit, but I still wasted half the day. I feel confident I bought the right pressure washer for my handyman business. Take care!
I have a greenworks pro 2300 psi for my vehicles and a generac 3600 for everything else both solid units haven't had issues with either.
I can't believe I just watched a bear talk about pressure washers for almost 20 minutes.
😂 I stopped watching at the comment
I've had a General 2800 psi for years works great never had a problem. I highly suggest get a hard surface cleaner it will cut your time cleaning driveway or deck tremendously.
I have the DeWalt battery sprayer. I think it's good for knowing you won't damage anything indoors or out
Good Advice, Bear. I have a Simpson heavy duty but am looking for a light duty electric to do cars, etc.
Been using an 1800psi(?) Dirt Devil electric for quite a few years now. Upgraded the wand almost right away to a standard, somehow managed to get away with using the wrong adapter thread for like 5 years before eventually having to order the right one from Amazon and wait months for it to arrive from China... But honestly I've done a lot of useful stuff with it, especially since I got the Turbo nozzle. Lots of siding and fence cleaning. Pro (diy) tips: use a wide hose, like the larger ones from HF. I get more consistent pressure and flow using a big "farm grade" hose even on the little wimpy washer. Avoid flow restrictions 😁
Glad that you mentioned that, I didn’t know even think about having a wider hose
solid vid, lots of good information 👍 I have the Kobalt 40v max battery powered pressure washer, can't say I'm impressed with it, it's nice to have the portability and the run time with a 2ah isn't terrible but the pressure is not comparable to corded or gas at all, I got it at lowes on clearance for $37 a few months back battery included so I cant really complain about it tho
I just picked up a unit From wally world that is about the size of a portable sewing machine... sale 69 bx... I believe 1700 psi... that we can carry up a ladder to clean things on our 2 story bldg roof. Have used once and am impressed so far. We have elect available and a water faucet there and a long hose. The unit has built-in gfci... just what we need if it holds up.
Just got a BE with a Honda GX200 and AR pump. Love it!
I've had my HF Portland clone for a few years now. After I got the deal for the 17ft gutter cleaner harness system I started looking for a pressure washer that could run it. Bought the DeWalt 4400 psi 4gpm with the triplex pump off of marketplace for just under $700 NiB (retails for 879 before tax). Didn't notice that many attachments, including the gutter cleaner setup, suggests a max psi of 4200 🤦. 🤞 it all works out. It does a great job of cleaning off the vinyl rail and balisters on my deck. The HF clone could only clean them in a very thin pattern.
Very interesting background on brands like Westinghouse that’s a good point to look into
Good video, happy to see some different products and hear you talk about them. I really wasn't pushing any other brands (especially Westinghouse), just stating that it's my OPINION that there are better, just as high rated options out there for the price than HF, and not just in the pressure washer realm. As far as HF 90 day return, I get it, and if you live close it's great, but for me I'm in eastern Montana, and it's a 6 hour round trip to the closest HF, Home Depot, Lowe's, ect, so sometimes the service center option can be best, or just getting parts sent for me to fix. And I wasn't trying to say anything negative about your reviews, I think you are very honest, but it's like you were waiting and setting up for the pounce on how NONE of the other brands compare, and at that point I'm pretty sure you would say the same thing to someone about being biased. My apologies if I was out of line, but it was a healthy discussion and gave you a talking point! Thumbs up!
Harbor Freight recently introduced a new optional wand for the Portland that allows use of standard tips and foam cannons, which they are also carrying. Also in Harbor Freight news they have new Cobra cameras coming, and a predator rototiller.
I’m lookin for a good under 200 buck electric with a good hose is important cuz it will be mostly for car use should I got this route , I need a gas however to use for business to stop renting do I need two maybe a harbor freight and a 5-6 hundo eventually
I have a cordless Dewalt pressure washer it’s okay for small jobs like spraying off the back of my pickup truck are getting bird drops off the window etc.. a five gallon bucket of water will wash / clean my 2008 Chevy Colorado.
I have several. Favorites are the Simpson 4000psi/4gpm with a variable pump and the lifan 2100gpm/2gpm with the carry handle. Never had a problem with either. Bought the lifan at Home Depot for 299. And the Simpson from Lowe’s for 899. Both in 2015. Now I see they are both considerably more expensive.
Bear, I mentioned in your deals of the week May 9th 2022 video the compact Greenworks unit on sale at Lowe's for $89 with bonus floor scrubber.
Simpson direct drive pumps are garbage. How do I know, I'm an authorized repair center for them.
Does that include all the ones talked about in this video?
@@jimmtech yes
That’s what I say…Belt Drive or nothing for me!
@@LivingBetterOutdoors If you can afford it nothing beats a Honda GX390, Belt Driven Cat Pump with 4 GPM or more.
@@LivingBetterOutdoors Are you gonna use it professionally or just personal?
You were very helpful at the level you were addressing. My issue to grow in this area of understanding the different pump brands. I have owned an EXCELL 3200 with a 4 gpm Comet pump, still running after 23 years. Honda is getting out of the small gas engine market, I want to get a Honda motor while possible. I have reviewed the comet, and it’s still good but hard to find in a package. Cat would be good. AAA is not an option for due to personal experience, and awful reviews quite frankly. Do you know of any options? I am not ready for CRX engines as of today
In the world of competitive cycling, those cordless pressure washers are becoming extremely common for cleaning bikes where excess pressure can cause issues by sneaking underbearing seals or messing up paint on $15k bikes. For that kind of delicate cleaning task they work very well. I'm sure they would be perfect for cleaning cars as well where for the same reason you don't want to mess paint up. My opinion is if you use them for their intended purpose and don't expect to make your driveway look brand new with it you will be satisfied.
Just purchased the predictor 4400 from HF, was really torn not getting Simpson equivalent. Trying to add additional services to my side hustle. I like that I can bring predictor into HF for quick exchange under warranty vs packing/shipping Simpson to company. Should I return predictor and just get the Simpson or predictor just as good for part time work? Thoughts? Thanks in advance.
Thanks for an honest review
I bearly get through your videos because they gives me paws.
Good information. Does anyone have a favorite hose to use with the big units? My 3300 Simpson was enough to collapse a cheap (and maybe old) hose.
I worked for a company that designed and manufactured indrustrial pressure washer. All gas, the big decision they had heated water or not.. Yes this is industrial applications for cleaning. I'd say between 1000 psi and 1500 psi with heated water is an effective way to clean. Once again we are looking at indrustrial. I'm looking at prices over 500 bucks (min) . Just to let you know we may be talking apple and oranges. Nice video!
As you can tell the engine with a vertical shafts are much cheaper than the horizontal
My 13 yr old 3000 psi Home Depot Rigid brand with Subaru engine and cat pump finally gave out. Took it to a high end agricultural mower dealer who rebuilt the carb several years ago. Oil leak…estimate $450 minimum labor plus parts, IF they could get parts, because Subaru went out of business. They were very honest about the situation and did not try to sell me their brand. They recommended I scrap it. The mechanic said he personally owns and highly recommends a Simpson with Honda engine. He didn’t say which model. I found a Simpson/Honda combo Model PS61044, 3400 psi 2.3 gpm for $599. Don’t know which brand pump or whether direct drive or belt. Also found a Craftsman/Honda 3300 psi with a cat pump for $498. Many many years ago I owned an inexpensive Craftsman, but I know nothing about Craftsmen pressure washers now. I don’t need a high end Simpson Pro Line $1600+ washer, but need some help deciding between these two machines. I will mainly use the pressure washer to clean my concrete driveway a couple times per year using a surface cleaner. Any suggestions or helpful comments would be greatly appreciated.
I got a Giraffe Grandfalls because I'm tired of dealing with the hose. Reels that you have to detach the hose for may as well just not be there.
Question... If I go from a 5/16" 50' hose connected to a 1/4" 25' hose will I lose pressure at the nozzle? 3200 PSI Simpson GC190 Honda. Thanks!
the only thing worth mentioning about the hand held models is that they are a solution looking for a problem. I bought the Ryobi hand held thinking it would be a good solution for spraying out the shed after welding or cutting or etc... My garden hose absolutely outclasses it by ten fold. There is not enough power to justify their existence - mine is currently sitting in the project pile for the next time I need a pump - it's basically worthless.
Looking to start my pressure washer company saving up for that Easy Kleen 400 pressure washer seeking im new hopefully im not getting ahead of myself I just wanna give myself the best shot at doing a great job its either Easy Kleen 400 or Aluminum 4200 or predator
4400 PSI, if any vets see this im open to advice
What do you prefer to get patios and driveways back to brand new?
Love the Tool Bear, best damn tool youtuber. Also got me hooked on Ryobi, im a homeowner and why do I need the big boy tradesman line of tools? I dont. THANK YOU RED!
Hey bear you know direct tools has got a Ryobi 3600 PSI with a Honda GX motor and it will lubricated pump for 388 delivered to the house right now right
Dear Red, thank you for all the help you give us with making selections. You really are smarter than the average bear.
Sincerely, Your Pals (please don’t eat us)
Thanks for the info 👍
What do you think about Dewalt? Would like to know your thoughts on Dewalt vs Simpson.
I have a Kobalt cordless pressure washer. It’s kind of a toy but very useful for certain things. Cleaning out the cars door jams is something this excels at. There is enough pressure and volume to slough off the crud without soaking the interior. It’s also great for under the hood. You really don’t want to point a high powered washer into the engine bay of a modern car. They are not like the cars of old where all that was needed to start after a through cleaning was some WD40 and a rag. Now if water gets in where it shouldn’t it can cost thousands to get running again. This little washer can direct a stream right where you want it more controllable than a garden hose with a lot more pressure. It’s just a toy if you are trying to wash a deck or driveway but it comes in very handy for certain things.
I was hoping to find this info soon
I have the Simpson Pro series with the Honda Motor 4000 PSI with 3.5 GPM and it kicks a**... I have a Sunjoe electric for small stuff but when you really need to do work you need a gas powered pressure washer over 3000 PSI... I've had mine for over 4 years and haven't had a problem but I know how to maintain and service my tools
What type of maintenance is required on gas pressure washers? Changing the spark plug, oil ect?
@DoYouEvenLiftKid yes..and knowing how to store for winter (fuel stabilize)..air filter...and servicing the pump for winter..(Ohio).. it isn't hard..you'd be surprised at how many don't do any of the basic shit that keeps equipment working properly
Karcher power washer electric i had gave to me I love that power washer it's strong I stuck my hand infront of it thinking it's weak hell na never again it all but cut me open I've had it now for 7 years still works great only thing is it don't cut off when u let off the trigger so I zip tied the handle o well it still works great !! If someone knows how to fix the cut off please reply I will take the time to fix it long as I know the fix !!
Lots of good info here!
The battery "pressure washers" are more of a powerful hose. If you have running water there is no need for one, but if you dont and only have a 5 gallon bucket they are great.
I'm not going to lie the handheld pressure washers are great for small projects, I recommend the Ryobi 600 PSI for handheld pressure washers.
I have put hot water through the Ryobi 600 psi handheld pressure washer and it hasn't had any problems.
Hands down the best combo is a Cat pump with a Honda engine attached to it, I’ve had my Excel for almost 30 years with NO pump rebuilds except pump oil changes.
I've had two CAT/Honda rigs for many years. Not cheap, but best value. Can't beat them.
Yep, I purchased my Simpson Honda/ Cat combo in 1992 and change the oil every few years.
I make sure to winterize it with rv antifreeze every fall and have NEVER had a single pump related issue.
I’ve been through two Honda carbs, two wands and hoses but that’s it.
I'm looking for a pressure washer in the 3000 plus range for hopefully not much more than $300 the current one I have is around 2100 and it's just not strong enough for moldy siding. Are there no contenders using batteries?? Everybody and their brother - Milwaukee, DeWalt et cetera makes battery chainsaws battery circ saws, battery lawn mowers - how come no stand alone battery pressure washers?
What psi power washer do I need to clean car rims - no touch??
Right now I’ve got a 1600 psi green works that doesn’t get it done without elbow grease…
great video, thanks
Is there an "electric" pressure washer that can perform as well as some of the gas 2400s
Do you think all Ryobi electric pressure washers use the same pump? Trying to figure out if I should get the Ryobi with the Honda motor before they stop making the engines..
Yeah I got a battery powered power washer and it works great for my car I love it to wash my car I live in apartments and don't really have access to water spickets so I will put my own water in a big jug and that works great
Surprised no mention of Dewalt DXPW60603 with the cat pump and honda engine
90 day warranty is the BIG Achilles Heel at H F on most of their products.
Many times I buy for a future need because the item is at a reduced price and the warranty is gone before it's even used.
YEP ! Happened to me many times.
Great Video Tool Bear!! Thanks Great Review!! Where'd a Bear learn to talk the Talk? Hahaha!!! Peace out!!
I bought a black max 2500 psi on sale for 100 dollars at Wal-Mart does everything i need it to do
When I started as a detailer I didn't want to fork up the cash for a nice pressure washer system/ setup so I opted for a cordless alternative and for almost 2 years I ran my cordless pressure washer through the ringer and boy that tool made me so much $ I eventually sold it and now I'm fully equipped but for how compact and convenient it was it definitely did the job as a start up tool.
My tool of choice was the Sun Joe 40 V portable pressure washer.
Just running that gallon or two of hot water will damage the impeller ? Someone confirm this or know why so sensitive
2000psi can do job of 3k. They just do it slower. I'm waiting for spring sale of Bauer 2k electric and see how it works for cleaning decks and driveway with broom attachment. Been using my friends Kawasaki 3k washer which is nice but I only need it once a year maybe once every other year to clean decks and seal.
A 2000 psi electric is not powerful enough for decks, a gas 3000 is a must, unless you want to spend 3x as long
What about the Dewalt auto start?
Use pump saver after each use on any pressure washer and it will last for years and years
I got the Bauer electric PW last year. Meh…..it’s good enough for DIY/household. I think you’d get laughed off a job site with it. The hose reels are really only useful for winter storage.
Thank you for the informative video. I’m not sure whether to get a gas powered pressure washer at the 2800 PSI level or the 3200 PSI level. My needs range from cleaning patio furniture, washing my wife’s SUV, washing my pickup, cleaning my driveway and side walk, washing my fence (prep for staining it), and washing the exterior of my house. The latter two jobs are once a year or once every two years jobs. So, I don’t need POWER all the time, but only occasionally. What are your thoughts based on your review? Appreciate your advice because I’ve never pressure washed before.
I bought the blackmax from Wal-Mart. The big wheelbarrow style on syle for $240 in my area. Cant beat it for the price
I picked up the Simpson Powershot 3300 used from a professional cleaner after he upgraded, and it has been a horse around the house for years now. I'd gladly buy another one new if it ever kicks the bucket. That thing is a powerful tank.
How is it holding so far? I’m planning on buying me one
@@Juniorzeeseven1 still doing well. Pump is leaking a bit but not affecting pressure at all. It has lived a pretty hard life all things considered.
Does the Simpson 3300 have enough pressure and water flow to run a surface cleaner to clean cement?
pressure washers are one of the few products where i would recommend electric over gas, you can't let the engine run very long once you stop spraying or you can damage it
Bought the Simpson PowerShot 3300 in 2020 for $299 from Tractor Supply. Was on sale during black friday week. I think it was $399 usually. Surprised it shot up to $569.
Just looked at a Simpson 3400 psi, 2.3 gpm, at Lowes for $599. Was told $625 was their previous price but the new standard price is now $599. Do you know if the pump is a CAT?
@@baklash1762 Sorry, I do not know off the top of my head.
@@mae2759 How is it holding up? I have read so many bad reviews I’m reluctant to dive in. I need it to be able to drive a surface cleaner.
@@baklash1762 I've really only used it twice and it's worked well both of those times. So unfortunately, no long term abuse to let you know how it went.
I spent hours researching every pressure washer engine and motor and pump combo and the absolute best deal is the Simpson with the Honda GX engine and CAT pump.
I agree. Just ordered one and hopefully we're right. Tired of Chinese pumps not lasting. And the aluminum frame is a nice feature.
Which model name ?
Simpson ALH3228
What about the Northern Tool NorthStar it has Honda GX engine and CAT pump?
Not sure about that one. If it has an aluminum frame and is priced evenly I'd say go with it.
Honda GX390 with a Cat pump.Lowes 80.00 turbo nozzle and Dewalt 18 inch surface cleaner and you are set for years if you pm the machine.
Loved my Simpson 3300, never let me down.
Love the video
I will be getting from Harbor freight the coiled Spring faucet connector to help with ease of connecting and disconnecting hoses the item number is 58454. My question is does anybody make a quick connect quick release connector for the standard garden hose ? Threading and taking them out is kind of tough sometimes.
Yes but they won't have enough flow for even an electric pressure washer.
How many PSI do you need?
All of them
Do you have any updated suggestions on a gas-powered pressure washer for under $300 at this time?
Nope, I did some digging and there are no good deals that I see right now.
What psi would you suggest for all around use? Meaning car wash to siding.
1500 to 2500
If you can't blow the mortar out from between bricks I don't want it. Lol
As a professional plumber and a pressure washer fanatic if you’re buying a pressure washer over 3000 psi make sure it has a water discharge for the pump if you don’t at 4000 P you’ll kill that pump when you turn it off because the water is not flowing through the unit it’s bad for it and it cooks the pistons and the bushings and all that stuff inside of the head of the unit. Make sure you do research about this because I did a lot of frustrating things with pressure washers that burned up pumps and it’s very expensive when they blow up especially when you’re spending over $2000 on something
THX
Im looking for pressure washer that will wash trucks but at tge same time be able to clean off chicken poop on deck & concrete. It will need to move around a lot. What are your suggestions
2-4 GPM. 2800-4,000 psi
For basic household stuff you can get away with a 2.5 gpm 3,100 psi. All the brands are about the same when it comes to portability
Any electric pressure washers in the 3-5k psi worth buying that live up to that rating? I have a gas 2800 psi with Honda GCV engine thinking it would last but each year it has gotten more difficult to start. Like to get something comparable in performance in electric without breaking the bank. Buy a Honda engine they said…easy to start they said…it will last they said. That was true for 1 year.
As a professional pressure washer. All pressure washers are rated by cleaning units. PSI X GPM = cleaning units. And in our industry the higher gallons per minute is generally better for cutting down time for cleaning. Which is most of the reasons why you see us minimum of 4 GPM and all the way up to 10 GPM.
exactly. and most homes in my town for example cannot handle spit out more than 4gpm, running a pressure washer thats rated any higher than 4gpm and you'd burn out your pump on your pressure washer, and possibly even damage some fittings on the property. so since the max we can handle around here is 4-4.25gpm and thats almost borderline.. i run a 3.5gpm/4000psi simpson/Honda engine unit. works great. was $1600 new , came with great quality 50ft hose and all quick release tips and even a ball socket valve for switching between surface cleaner and wand easily.
What should I get for doing decks, patios, and driveways?
@@hawazinharijan5231 Ground work really depends on how much time you want to take to do the job. The higher the GPM the less time you spend cleaning. I use a 5.5 Gpm for house washing, decks, and roof cleaning and I use either the 5.5 or 10 gpm on driveways depending on size.
@@Curtis.Carpenter One reason why I have 525 gallon tank and ask the Customer if they are on well water or county water.
Hello Sir
I'm looking at getting the Harbor Freight 4400 PSI. I wouldn't be doing more than 8 to 10 houses a month. Will this unit be powerful enough to clean the upper reaches on a tall 2 story house or 3 story house? Standing on the ground without a ladder. I would appreciate your thoughts
Cordless is great for cleaning your Ac. no water hose needed just a small bucket of water
Just got the Sampson megashot 3300psi 2.4 gpm 60921. Hopefully it works good.
How is it holding so far?
@@Juniorzeeseven1 so far so good. Don't use it a ton, but the wife found out she love to use it. LOL. Pretty powerful.
Do you think home depot will have ryobi pressure washers on sale soon?
Later this week is my guess.
Hey bub I'm digging for a pressure washer that can handle a gas station property we do not have 1000+ to spend on it but all the above apply grease gas gum graffiti the parking lot god knows what that sticky stuff all around the dumpster areas. I was originally wanting us to get a hot water pressure washer the company wont spring for it despite massively complaining about it. But after a rather lengthy store meeting weave decided amongst ourselves this is something we just cant let go of any more. Would you know of a ridiculously cheap hot water pressure washer out there. Or would a solid good cold water washer with decent enough psi be enough to do the job? I think a cold water washer could possibly do most of what we want but I'm not sure about the grease and graffiti. Any thoughts would be awesome. thanks and take care
????do it once then pre-treat the same way you do carpet???
The hand held units are low pressure in my opinion. 300 to 400 PSI perfect for washing a car, leaves etc.
The westinghouse served me well but it's a pain in the butt to move it on grass and dirt. I live more rural.
I just bought the Portland pressure washer at my local HB for $34!
How?
Still waiting for how you did that?
I ruined the pressure washer at the dealership awhile back after running scolding hot water thru it.
No discussion of the difference between direct drive and belt drive?
As someone that has dealt with pressure washers for a number of years on the industrial side, the homeowner does not need to go above 2000. As you noted when you go from 0 to a different degree the pressure now drops. The best pressure pump is made by CAT(not associated with the engine company). They are repairable but of course you you will pay more for them.
I agree and it’s best to lower psi to last longer and no break down
Can you get a pressure washer that has an adjustable psi? I would like to get a really good pressure washer but I have no idea what options are available and the best brands etc
Thanks for the info on CAT
@@kenarcemont709 Thanks for the info
Do you know how good the AAA pumps are on Simpson pressure washers?
I couldn't find any pressure washers that had a CAT pump that I could see.
Yes there is a professional model at Northern tool!
Is about $960.
I have the Ryobi 320 psi 18 volt and I think it works good for car washing but that’s about all good for.
Dewalt 4400 psi
4 gallons a minute is a very good pressure washer
I will never again buy a Ryobi pressure washer. The one I bought had an idler feature on the Honda engine that malfunctioned. It caused the pressure to fluctuate and even caused the engine to high rev several times. It was the worst $450 I've ever spent on one. The funny thing is that I left it in the driveway one day and someone stole it. I hope they enjoy their headache that's if it didn't blow up and kill them in the process.
I bought an electric Ryobi pressure washer. Love it. Stay away from gas operated washers in CA.
Stay away from CA period
