Q: What is most important when buying a pressure washer?

• <div><p>One of the most important factors to consider when buying a pressure washer is not just psi but also the machine&rsquo;s overall cleaning power. This is based on both the psi and the GPM. Look for a cleaning rating, or effective cleaning unit (ECU), of up to 8,000 for most residential cleaning projects that require a pressure washer.</p></div>

Q: What size pressure washer should I rent for home use?

• <div><p>A pressure washer&rsquo;s size or power is measured in pounds per square inch (PSI). The amount of pressure you need will depend on your project and the material you&rsquo;re washing, but consumer pressure washers range from 500 to 2,400 PSI. Porous materials like brick and stucco should not be blasted with anything stronger than 1,000 PSI, while you can use a PSI of up to 2,400 to clean a vinyl fence. </p></div>

Everything was as you would expect from a Lowes. They loaded the washing machine up. They offered delivery and installation, but we needed it that day so we took a trailer up there and got it ourselves because it would have been another day to get it.
