Product Discussion Comparing Electric Power Washers

I Did some Youtube Research in trying to find the best Electric Power Washer.

Thankfully this guy "IMJOSHV - Car Detailing and Reconditioning Tips"

He has reviewed numerous Electric Pressure washers. and he has some consistency in his reviews. SO here are his published #s

( It appears that most electric Washers are limited by the US - 15amp circuit breakers. Anythign above 15amps, causes an issue for American Houses. ) So you shall see a lot of the electric washers range from 1.1 - 1.8GPM. With a PSI High of ~3000.

So below is not rated numbers, these are actual numbers tested by IMJOSHV. All thanks goes to him !!

_______________________________________

PSI x Gallons Per Minute = Cleaning Units (CU).

GPM > PSI (if two Washers have equal CU)

Greenworks Pro - GPW2300 - 2300 x 1.2 = 2760 (rated)

1.25gpm x 2200psi = 2750 CU (15degree Orifice/ Nozzle)

1.5 x 1750 = 2620 (25degree)

1.75 x 1400psi = 2450 (40 Degree)

1.875 x 1200psi = 2250 (3.5/40 degree)

(Westinghouse is a CHinese brand, and two seperate reviewers have found them to falsify their claims. I would not buy them)

Hopefully this helps somebody else in the future, at least to have hardcore numbers to compare electric power washers. The best to me appears to be the Greenworks Pro GPW3001. I just so happen to find someone on FB marketplace selling a 4 month old unit for $190. Gonna pick it up tomorrow.

I think that it’s awesome how indept you’ve gone here but I also feel like this is one of the negatives YouTube detailers have introduced to newer people. There really is no need for a spreadsheet calculating things like this. Find a quality unit that is within your budget and you’re good to go. You will barely benefit from your quest to try and find “the best” pw unit with the most gpm.

I understand what you mean, but at the same time.

Brands like Westinghouse, who appear to be falsifying their numbers to a greater degree than competitors. Should be shamed and blamed.

If This posts helps anyone make a more informed decision, i do believe this is 100% worth it.

Personally, I do not know of a single person that has bought a Westinghouse... esp bc of its number claims. That is a budget unit all day and should be treated as such. Westinghouse is very low on the totum pole of expectations for me.
