Electric pressure washers, as the name suggests, are powered by an electric motor. The motor drives the pump that pushes high pressure to the output of the machine. Other pressure washers are driven by a combustion engine that burns a fossil fuel such as gasoline, diesel, or propane. There is not much of a difference between electric or non-electric machines in the power and properties of the output. All types of pressure washers are able to give high output pressure.
There are certain differences between the machines, however. For instance, electric pressure washers can start working immediately. One does not have to worry about filling up and maintaining gasoline tanks. An electric connection is all what one would require.
The following are some of the advantages and disadvantages of electric pressure washers.
Pros
The first advantage is the lack of exhaust expelled by electric machines. Pressure washing machines that use fossil fuels produce exhaust, which contains combustion byproducts. Electric machines have no such problems.
The second advantage is that electric machines make very little noise. The noise level of pressure washing equipment powered by a combustion engine can be high. Both of these features, the lack of exhaust and low noise level, can make electric pressure washers the ideal machine for carrying out indoor cleaning tasks.
Cons
A con of these machines stems from outside influences rather than the competency of the equipment.If the area to be cleaned does not have an electric power source at a convenient location, electric pressure washers cannot work. Conversely, gas-powered machines do not have this problem. However, Daimer® does offer electric power washers with Long Hose Technology, allowing the operator to plus the machine into an electrical socket and use the machine up to 300 feet away via a long hose.
