This is a premium quality pressure washer that has clearly been produced to high standards, using commercial-grade components, including the copper wound induction motor and metal pump. You may think that you don’t need this kind of cleaning power, and you may well be right, however, one thing to keep in mind is that with increased power comes reduced cleaning time, so if you’re replacing a more standard powered domestic pressure washer, and washing the car or the patio was a long & thankless task, you may find that with this washer the job is done much faster.
