The Four Best Pressure Washers

Sun Joe SPX3000

• ✓2,030 PSI handles most homeowner tasks — decks, driveways, siding, vehicles
• ✓Total Stop System automatically shuts pump when trigger is released
• ✓Includes 5 quick-connect nozzles and detergent tank

• ✗Electric cord limits reach compared to gas-powered alternatives
• ✗Pump quality means lifespan is shorter than commercial-grade units

Ryobi 3300 PSI

• ✓3,300 PSI + 2.4 GPM combo tackles heavy mildew, old stains, and painted surfaces
• ✓50-foot hose covers large driveways and multi-story siding without relocating the unit
• ✓Honda engine means reliable starts and long-term engine parts availability

• ✗Gas + noise means it is not neighbor-friendly for dense neighborhoods
• ✗Heavy and requires fuel mixing — not as plug-and-play as electric

Greenworks 2300 PSI

• ✓2300 PSI at under $200 is the sweet spot for budget-conscious homeowners
• ✓Tethered cable storage eliminates cord tangles between uses
• ✓Turbo nozzle included boosts cleaning power 50% over standard fan tips

• ✗1.2 GPM is lower flow — jobs take longer than higher-GPM units
• ✗Less compatible with surface cleaners and rotary attachments

Simpson MegaShot 3200

• ✓3200 PSI with 2.5 GPM is the sweet spot for stripping old deck stain and sealer
• ✓Brass pump is more durable than plastic and handles hot water use
• ✓Four quick-connect nozzles plus 15-degree and 40-degree tips cover all deck surfaces

• ✗Louder than electric models — hearing protection recommended
• ✗Break-in period required before first heavy use to seat pump components
