Mobility, control, and safety are built into this electric pressure washer. The pull-along handle design makes it easy to move from task to task, while the rear wheels are built with brake stoppers to keep the unit securely in place during use. The on/off switch is easy to reach, and users will appreciate the convenient access to controls, nozzle storage, and the detergent tank. The GFCI plug ensures protection when operating in damp environments.

This washer is compatible with most extension cords when used responsibly and with manufacturer-approved guidelines. Compact, quiet, and easy to store, the unit and its accessories can be stored neatly in garages, sheds, or even closets. The thoughtful design makes storing the pressure washer in small spaces convenient and hassle-free.

Multiple Nozzle Options

With four included nozzles — 15°, 25°, 40°, and Soap — you have a range of cleaning intensities at your fingertips. Some models only come with three nozzles, but this unit offers an extra option for added versatility. For example, the 15° nozzle tackles tough jobs with a concentrated spray pattern, while the 25° and 40° nozzles are perfect for general household cleaning, car washing, and more delicate surfaces. The soap nozzle works with detergents to break down grease and grime before rinsing. Convenient access to nozzle storage makes switching between tasks quick and easy.

Want more power? This washer is compatible with a turbo nozzle and rotary nozzles for added intensity on large surface areas.

The steel-framed cart and reinforced components provide durability without excess bulk, while the brushless induction motor and axial pump system require less maintenance than gas-powered alternatives.

Garden Hose and Water Supply

Getting the most out of your electric pressure washer starts with the right garden hose and a reliable water supply. Most electric pressure washers are designed to work with a standard garden hose that’s at least 1/2 inch in diameter, ensuring enough water flows to generate the cleaning power you expect. If your hose is too narrow or too long, you might notice a drop in pressure, which can affect how well your pressure washer tackles dirt and grime.

It’s also important to check your water supply’s pressure rating, measured in pounds per square inch (psi). For best results, your water source should deliver at least 40 psi—enough to keep the washer running smoothly and maintain consistent cleaning power. A higher psi can boost performance, but always stay within the pressure washer’s recommended limits to avoid damaging the machine or delicate surfaces.

The choice of spray nozzles and spray tips also plays a big role in how effectively you clean different surfaces. Turbo nozzles are great for blasting away stubborn dirt, while wider spray tips are ideal for rinsing larger areas or cleaning more delicate surfaces like patio furniture or car exteriors. Many electric models come with a soap dispenser or can be paired with a foam cannon, making it easier to loosen tough stains before rinsing.

One of the key advantages of electric pressure washers over gas powered pressure washers is that they don’t produce harmful emissions, making them a cleaner choice for outdoor power equipment. Electric models are also generally quieter and require less maintenance than gas powered models, so you can focus on cleaning without worrying about fuel, fumes, or frequent tune-ups.

To keep your pressure washer performing at its best, regular maintenance of your garden hose and water supply is essential. Check for kinks, leaks, or blockages in the hose, and make sure your water source is free from debris that could clog the system. This simple upkeep helps extend the life of your pressure washer and ensures you always have enough power to get the job done.

By paying attention to your garden hose, water supply, and the right combination of spray nozzles and accessories, you’ll unlock the full potential of your electric pressure washer. Whether you’re washing cars, cleaning patio furniture, or tackling outdoor surfaces, these details make all the difference in achieving a spotless finish with less effort.

Frequently Asked Questions about Pressure Washers

How to store a pressure washer?

To ensure the durability of your heavy duty pressure washer:

  • Empty the gas tank to prevent fuel from degrading or clogging the engine.
  • Empty the pump and hoses of any remaining water.
  • Perform necessary maintenance before storage.
  • Store in a dry area.
  • Cover.

What is a pressure washer?

A power washer is a cleaning machine that uses a gasoline engine to power a high pressure water pump and nozzle. It’s used to clean driveways, decks, vehicles, outdoor furniture and more by spraying water at high PSI to remove dirt, grime, mold and other debris.Many models also come with a detergent tank for added cleaning power.

How does a power washer work?

A power washer works by drawing water from a connected hose and pumping it through a high pressure nozzle. The gas engine powers the pump which pressurizes the water and then expels it through the nozzle at high speed to clean the surface. The water pressure is measured in PSI (pounds per square inch) and the flow rate is measured in GPM (gallons per minute).Many models also feature adjustable water pressure settings to cater to different cleaning needs. BE makes pressure washing easy with models available for light jobs and heavy duty commercial cleaning projects.

Gas vs Electric power washers?

The main difference is that a gas pressure washer, known for its cleaning power, is powered by a gasoline engine, making it more powerful and portable, while an electric pressure washer is powered by electricity and is generally quieter and lighter.

Gas pressure washers are for heavy duty and large areas due to their durability, whereas electric pressure washers are for smaller jobs.

Your BE electric pressure washer is perfect for smaller jobs and built for portability, and we offer a wide range of electric models. Included with our electric models is a long extension cord for use anywhere around your house.

What to consider?

When choosing a gas pressure washer consider:

  • Pressure (PSI): More PSI means more cleaning power but also more potential for damaging delicate surfaces.
  • Flow Rate (GPM): More GPM means faster cleaning as more water is dispensed.
  • Engine Power: Bigger engines mean more durability and power.
  • Portability: Weight, handle design and wheel size for easier to move.
  • Nozzles: Multiple spray nozzles to adjust the spray pattern for different tasks.
  • Adjustable Nozzle: Allows for fine-tuning the spray intensity and pattern for various cleaning needs.

How much pressure do I need for?

The required pressure (PSI) and cleaning power depend on the surface you’re cleaning:

  • Light duty (car washing, outdoor furniture): 1,300-1,800 PSI.
  • Medium duty (patios, fences, decks): 2,000-3,000 PSI.
  • Heavy duty (driveways, brick walls, large equipment): 3,000+ PSI.

Many pressure washers come with adjustable pressure settings to handle different cleaning tasks effectively.

Can a pressure washing damage surfaces?

Yes, a power washer can damage surfaces if used incorrectly. High pressure water can strip paint, dent soft surfaces or even cause structural damage if the pressure is too high or the nozzle is held too close to the surface. Always use the right PSI for the material you’re cleaning and keep a safe distance from delicate surfaces.

To prevent damage, consider using a model with adjustable pressure settings.

How to maintain your pressure washer?

To ensure the durability and smooth operation of a pressure washer:

  • Change the oil as per manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Clean or replace the air filter to ensure good airflow.
  • Inspect and clean the nozzle regularly to prevent clogs.
  • Drain the gas tank if you’re storing the washer for a long time.
  • Check the hoses for leaks or damage and replace them if needed.
  • Follow regular maintenance requirements to keep the washer in optimal condition.

Can I use a pressure washer in cold weather and low water temperature?

You can use a pressure washer in cold weather but it’s more difficult. The water flow rate in the hoses and pump can freeze and damage the equipment. If you plan to use your pressure washer in cold temperatures make sure to winterize it and store it in a warm area when not in use. You can also use anti-freeze solutions for pressure washers.

Some models are designed to use hot water, which can be particularly effective for cleaning in cold weather.
