They typically cost less than gas powered pressure washers and are often found within our best pressure washers and best electric washer machines within this site.

As you would learn through our article on choosing a pressure washer found on this site, important considerations when looking for a washer is the PSI, GPM and the HP (horse power) of the washer. This affects how long it will take you to clean a specific area as well as how effective the cleaning will be.

As you consider a 1500 psi pressure washer the following are some of around-the-home jobs that you can expect this type of pressure washer to effectively do within optimal time.;

• car wash
• bicycle wash
• charcoal grill
• removing bird droppings from deck
• patios
• screen porches
• garden tool cleanup

A 1500 psi pressure washer can also do other jobs such as wood fence, ATV, boat, siding and driveway. However, this will take longer than is necessary if a higher pressure such as a 2500 psi washer had been used.

On the other hand a 1500 psi washer has a few advantages including handling delicate surfaces in more non-damaging manner. Higher output washers can damage wooded furniture and so on. The following are top pressure washers with an output of 1500 psi.
