Frequently Asked Questions
Product Spotlight: K 5 Premium Smart Control

Electric vs Gas Pressure Washers
Some advantages of electric pressure washers (compared to gas-powered) include:
- Less expensive
- No fumes and significantly less noise
- No need to worry with gas or oil
- Much easier to start - just plug in and turn on!
- Lighter and smaller, take up less storage space
On the other hand, pros for gas-powered washers include:
- Higher water pressure output
- Can be operated where there's no electrical outlet
- Durable, heavy-duty metal frames and components
- Pro-level options like triplex pumps
Both types of pressure washers are capable of cleaning your home, the decision of which to use is an individual one – some people even choose to use both.
Most customers tell us they chose an electric model because of price, ease of use, storage and pressure (there's less chance of damaging delicate surfaces like wood when you clean with 2,000 psi or less). Electric models are also much better suited for car cleaning.
What makes a good car pressure washer?
Tired of paying for a car wash service each week? Do it yourself at home with the right tools! We recommend an electric pressure washer for the following reasons:
- You want to clean your car without worrying about the pressure washer overheating while you're not using it. Gas-powered models run continuously and require you to release the pressure (by squeezing the trigger) every couple of minutes, or they may overheat. Our electric pressure washers only run when you press the trigger, so you don't have to worry about overheating.
- Electric pressure washers have lower pressure (psi) output than gas models, making them a safer choice for vehicles. Using the Vario Wand on our K2 CCK or K3 Follow Me, for example, you can start at very low pressure and easily dial up the intensity by simply twisting the wand. On a gas-powered model, if you select the wrong nozzle you could quickly damage a car's exterior.
- You probably don't want to annoy your neighbors every Saturday morning while washing your car. Our electric pressure washers are MUCH quieter than gas-powered ones. In fact, our K3 Follow Me is certified by Quiet Mark!
