How to Spot Quality Pressure Washers



Shopping for pressure washers can be an intimidating and overwhelming task. The market today is flooded with different kinds of power washing units, all of which claim to offer users a host of effective and exciting features. If you are working on a budget, investing in cheaper, low-quality pressure washers might seem like a tempting option. The truth is that investing in cheaper power washers will end up costing you more later on. The most cost-effective thing to do is to invest in high quality pressure washing units, as these will not only be effective, they will last a long time as well.

When choosing cold water pressure washers, you do not have to worry about heating coils. However, with hot water and steam pressure washing units, it is important to invest in units that have rugged and durable heating coils. In many cheaper models, the heating coil may be made of aluminum. Because this is a relatively light metal, it often develops holes in it after continued use. This is why the power washers from Daimer® have heavy duty schedule 80 heating coils, which are excellently suited for rugged use.

Another factor to consider when buying pressure washers is the housing. Machines such as Daimer®’s Super Max™ 6000 not only feature schedule 80 heating coils, but steel powder coated housing. It is always best to invest in machines that have solid, stainless steel housing that is chemical and chip resistant. This will ensure that the unit can withstand the rigors of even the toughest cleaning jobs.
