<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nAlthough you may not think there is that much of a difference between gas and electric pressure washers, there are some key factors that separate them from each other. But is electricity better than gas? Or the other way around?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Electric pressure washers are good in terms of ease of use, size, and safety. Their pressure settings are similar to many gas pressure washers. However, electric pressure washers have less portability and are not meant for heavy-duty jobs.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nLet\u2019s take a look at what electric pressure washers have to offer and if they will suit the work you need to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why Electric Pressure Washers Are Better<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Electric pressure washers cost less <\/strong>than gas pressure washers, which can contribute to the reason why users will buy them over the gas models. They tend to be smaller <\/strong>than gas pressure washers as well, so they are easy to store. And when you want to use one for cleaning, you don\u2019t have to strain yourself because of the weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAside from the better cost and size, electric pressure washers can do the job just as well as gas pressure washers.<\/strong> Unless you need a lot <\/em>of psi for heavy-duty cleaning, most of the time, electric models pack the same amount of punch.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOnce it is time to use your pressure washer, an electric model can be turned on without a hitch<\/strong> because of its power source. Gas models, on the other hand, need a few minutes to boot up before they can operate. <\/p>\n\n\n\nGas models also need fuel to work, so if you run out mid-clean and do not have a ready gas supply, it can be a pain to go to the nearest gas pump, refill a can, and then come back to refuel the gas model. With electric pressure washers, all you need to do is plug it in and turn on a switch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another bonus? Electric pressure washers can be used for indoor use,<\/strong> which is one of the biggest differences between them and gas pressure washers. The fumes that gas models produce can be hazardous and bad for the users’ health,<\/strong> so although they work just fine outdoors, that is the only place they will be safely used.<\/p>\n\n\n\nYou may not need to use a pressure washer indoors, but there are plenty of occasions where you will work in cramped spaces that can trap the fumes from gas models. Or you may just not like the smell of the fumes even when you are outdoors, so you can look to electric pressure washers to spare you from any negative side effects,<\/strong> such as dizziness, headaches, or nausea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
