Makita Pressure Washers & Power Washers

When choosing a pressure washer, think about the power and performance you need. Pressure washers are rated by their pressure output, measured in pounds per square inch (PSI), and water flow rate, measured in liters per minute (LPM). For light tasks like cleaning garden furniture or vehicles, a model with lower PSI and LPM is sufficient. However, for tougher jobs such as removing stubborn dirt from driveways or patios, opt for a more powerful unit. Assess your typical cleaning tasks to find the right balance between power and efficiency.

Decide whether an electric or petrol-powered pressure washer suits your needs best. Electric models are generally quieter, lighter, and require less maintenance, making them ideal for small to medium tasks around the home. They are also more eco-friendly as they produce no emissions. On the other hand, petrol models offer greater mobility and higher power levels, perfect for heavy-duty cleaning jobs or areas without easy access to electricity. Consider where you'll be using the pressure washer most often to make an informed choice.
