Three Tips to Buy Portable Pressure Washers

by Lauren Zwiebel

Portable pressure washers are handy machines that make hard surface cleaning easier and more efficient. Many models of these portable cleaning machines are available at present. You may find it difficult to choose the right one for yourself. The following are three basic tips that would help you to choose the right machine.

Tip 1: Power Source
For all kinds of portable pressure washers, the source of power is very important. Pressure washing machines have either an electric motor or a combustion engine to power the pump. Machines with an electric motor are often not ideal for outdoor use, as electrical outlets may not be easily available in all outdoor areas. Machines using a combustion engine, that is, gasoline, propane, or diesel pressure washers, are more mobile for outdoor cleaning, but should not be used indoors without proper ventilation. Toxic fumes could build up.

Tip 2: Type of Machine
There are two types of portable pressure washers offered by Daimer® in their Super Max™ series—wheel-attached and truck-mountable. Truck-mountable machines, such as the Super Max™ 12300 are easily mounted onto trucks or trailers for movement over larger areas. They are often ideal for construction areas as well as cleaning parks and parking lots. Wheel mounted machines, such as the Super Max™ 7000, are ideal for cleaning smaller areas, such as store fronts and sidewalks in front of buildings.

Tip 3: Find Right Supplier
A simple search on the internet will result in a number of companies that supply pressure cleaners. It is important to choose a supplier that offers quality machines and is well known for their products.

Pressure washers can be found under various categories. These machines are classified based on their source of power, such as electric, gasoline, diesel, and propane pressure washers. In addition, there are portable machines and stationary machines. Mobile pressure washers are further divided into truck-mounted machines and wheel-attached machines. The following is a brief introduction to each of these types of machines offered by Daimer®, a reputable supplier of pressure washers.

Truck-Mounted Machines
These pressure washers, as their name suggests, can be mounted onto trucks or trailers. Manual effort is minimal for operating these machines. These machines are ideal for cleaning large areas, such as parks or large parking lots. Many cleaning companies prefer these machines for industrial cleaning.

Wheel-Attached Machines
Wheel attached machines are ideal for those needing mobility to a smaller area. These machines can be pushed around to the desired location. The manual effort required for operating these machines is higher than that for operating truck-mounted machines. Still, their low cost and ease of use make them ideal candidates for cleaning small areas.

The most important thing one must remember when buying these machines is to select the appropriate energy source. Mobile pressure washers operate mostly in outdoor locations. It is often not easy to find electric outlets in such locations. Although these machines can be used along with a generator, fuel powered machines are cordless and can more about more freely.
