Can you compare features of popular electric pressure washers?
Comparing electric models comes down to a few key specs beyond the headline PSI number. GPM (gallons per minute) determines actual cleaning speed and varies more between models than PSI alone suggests. Nozzle count matters for versatility — the Sun Joe SPX3000 includes five nozzles standard, while budget models like the CRAFTSMAN CMEPW1700 offer fewer options. Detergent tank design differs too: some models include dual tanks for switching between cleaning solutions without refilling, while others have a single tank or none at all. Hose length, typically 20–25 feet, affects how far you can reach without repositioning the unit. Weight varies significantly as well, from around 12 pounds for the lightest cordless options up to 19+ pounds for heavier-duty electric corded models, which matters if you’re carrying it upstairs or around a large property.
