i'd love to know what gas powered power washers you guys are using that are quiet. unfortunately i have an enormous amount of time having my brain rattled by these damn things lately after spending 3 straight days stripping old stain off my backyard fence and scrubbing roof trim @ 8hrs constant running each day. and i mow every week with my self propel gas mower and 2 stroke trimmer. there's no comparison to lawn equipment, power washers are "chainsaw-loud" to my ears. even with ear plugs in, i'm ringing for hours afterwards.
i've used
- rental Briggs+Strat 2500psi from hoe depot
- Karcher/Honda 3000psi (dads)
- electric Greenworks 2000psi (neighbors)
the electric was definitely weaker, but with a good spray bit in the wand it was 80% as effective with WAY less noise.
if i ever buy a power washer its going to be electric for sure, especially if its going to be sitting most of the time. if all you're doing is washing cars or occassionally busting some grime off your driveway or siding, that's all you should ever need.
