Pressure Washer Recommendation

[KingCakeKid]

Anyone have a pressure washer they would recommend.
Hoping to find something I can powerwash a driveway with and not strip the paint off my Bronco.

Kranzle makes great pressure washers -- perfect for cars, not so sure it has the horses to do heavy chores.

Most pressure washers come with different nozzles so you can switch from ”wash my car” to “peel the skin off an orange” pretty quickly. I just bought one from Lowes and it works fine for any job I’ve needed it for. I’m not sure all have this feature so you might want to verify before purchase.

I've always found pressure correlates to time.

Lower pressure the longer it takes.

Most 3000psi pressure washers and up have a dial valve to +/- the pressure. You can akways decrease but not increase if you dont have it.

3600psi model is my go to. Makes spring clean up easy... house, concrete, pool, equipment. Fyi.... I don't adjust pressure often I just add more distance to what I'm spraying.

Oh yeah, wear shoes. Barefoot or flip flops are bad!

I have a Kranzle, love it . It’s more suited for car washing but I’ve used it to do the driveway.

The Kranzles are amazing. I, personally, wasn't sure how much I would use it, so I went with the Active 2.0 system. I am really loving it. Obsessed Garage has some great videos on this unit.

You can also buy it direct here: https://shop.activeproducts.com/col...-2-0-pro-pump-electric-pressure-washer-m22-15 if you want to design your own kit together.

Bought this attachment a few weeks ago, worked great after the last trail weekend to get the mud off the undercarriage.

Really anything 2600 PSI with a Honda engine will do the job.
Mine is 10 years old.

I would see if you have a local pressure washer shop around you and support them.

During 'rona I got a Ryobi electric for the back patio. I believe it's 2300psi and it works for what I needed it to. It's great for the cars now that I have the car wash attachments, but yeah if you're doing a driveway I would recommend a higher psi for sure.

I thought electric would be a good idea for me bc I know it'll sit for months on end not being used and on that front it's been great as well not having to worry about ethanol, carburetors, old gas, etc. Just use the pump lubricant stuff when you're done.

I also wound up replacing the hose and wand with Dewalt parts after lending it to family and receiving it back torn up and hose kinked.

Be careful if you have rubber floor mats. I have a 2600 psi washer and have used it several times on my Bronco with no issues. Yesterday I pulled out the rubber OEM floor mats to rinse off and it chewed chunks out with a few quick swipes from 6-8” away.

Agreed. I have a Ryobi RY803001 with a Honda engine, and it works great. I had an issue with it not starting earlier this year, but a little starter fluid got it running.

For portability, easy of use, and storage I haven't found anything better than the Dewalt you can get from Home Depot. Its has a small footprint and everything stores inside and fits anywhere. Not super high psi but it cleans a Bronco just fine. I hate the look of rolled up hose hanging around on walls or draped off something, hits my OCD hard. I have a 3200 psi Honda power washer that sits out in my shed out of sight.....it rarely gets used but sometimes you just need the extra umph! from an engine.

Depends on what you want to do. I've got one of these at home and it's overkill for just vehicle washing. If you want to wash a deck, patio furniture, house this would do the job and more. If you have a driveway or sidewalk, definitely get the surface cleaner and wand extension, saves a ton of work and time.

Dang...I was going to recommend this one...

Bought it for less than $200 in 2017 and still going strong.

Used it to powerwash all sorts of stuff on the house and to wash the cars including the Bronco.
