Are Electric Pressure Washers Suitable for Outdoor Cleaning?

Electric Pressure Washers Suitable for Outdoor Cleaning
Because electrical outlets are not often found outdoors, many people believe electric pressure washers are not suitable for outdoor applications. Pressure washing equipment powered by propane or gasoline is a better option for outdoor cleaning. Another belief many people hold is that electric pressure washers are less powerful than gasoline or propane driven machines.

Is It True?
Despite popular belief, both statements are not true. The power of a pressure washer machine is based on output temperature, pressure level, and flow rate. It does not depend much on the source of power.

Because most users prefer fuel powered machines for outdoor applications, people tend to believe that electric machines are not suitable. To make sure an electric machine can be used outdoors, there must be an electric source. One cannot always be sure about the existence of a plug point in outdoor settings, and therefore many believe they should not be used. However, if a plug point is readily available, electric pressure washers can clean as efficiently as any other machine in outdoor settings. Alternatively, a generator can be used.

Electric Pressure Cleaners – How Good Are They For Auto Detailing?

Auto Detailing Pressure Washer

Until recently, the only car wash options available for auto detailing professionals and vehicle owners were traditional steam cleaners and pressure washers. However, both of these cleaning machines have their disadvantages, which makes them unsuitable for certain car washing applications.

The dry steam ejected by steam cleaners is not strong enough to blast away grime on vehicle surfaces. It also requires constant wiping with a towel, which can damage painted surfaces. The traditional pressure cleaners with pressure levels of 3000 psi are much too powerful and can actually scratch vehicle exteriors. However, electric pressure washers specifically designed for car washing purposes are now available from Daimer®.

If you are looking for a low moisture auto detailing system that can be used to detail cars and trucks, the Super Max™ 6120SCW from Daimer® would be an ideal choice. These electric pressure washers feature high steam temperatures of 300ºF, low flow rates of 0.5 GPM and pressure levels of 1000 psi. While the low flow rate helps prevent water wastage and the average pressure levels eliminates the risk of damaging the vehicle surface, the steam helps dissolve the toughest grime and stains. Unlike traditional electric pressure washers, the Super Max™ 6120SCW can be used on almost all surfaces of the vehicle such as the engine, wheels, vehicle exteriors, and glass. This unique combination of the perfect features makes these electric pressure washers a popular choice among auto detailing professionals. Many of Daimer's Super Max™ pressure cleaners can be used for auto detailing, as well; as long as the pressure level does not exceed 1500 psi.
