For commercial and industrial cleaning, you need serious pressure washers that are going to withstand plenty of punishment and do a thorough job quickly and efficiently. The good news is that you will find several options on the market that are going to meet your needs very well, but you have to know what to look for in order to determine which are the best pressure washers for your needs.
First, you need to ask yourself whether you require cold or hot water pressure washers. Buying a cold water pressure washer may seem like a great idea at the time, but if you need to clean any type of caked on mess you are going to need the cleaning power that only hot water or steam pressure washers can offer. That is the reason why the best pressure waters offer at least both cold
and hot water options but preferably all three (known as a tri-mode).
Second, another consideration is whether you can get away with using the cheaper "home" pressure washers on the market. You can find these in plenty of hardware and home improvement stores and for some minor cleaning around your home, such as spraying down your lawn chairs before putting them in storage, they might be sufficient. However, if you need pressure washers for either commercial or industrial cleaning you will find the price savings to be non-existent. In fact, that savings
will end up costing you more in the long run.
To lower the prices on those home-version pressure washers, the manufacturers need to create equipment using less expensive materials and that lowers the overall quality of the machine. If you will be doing heavy cleaning with your pressure washers then you need to invest in a quality piece of equipment that will not break down after a year or less. The best pressure washers for you are going to be those considered industrial or commercial grade and which offer reliable and productive service
for many years.
Third, you need to be concerned about the amount of pressure delivered by your machine. The psi on pressure washers - even on those labeled commercial and industrial - does vary. Of course, you may not need the strongest psi you can find - too much pressure might even damage some items - but you do want to find the right psi level for your needs. For example, the Super Max™ 9000 is capable of up to 1,500 psi which would provide you with sufficient cleaning power for most of the jobs you
will face. Plus, since it's a tri-mode machine, you will be able to select the water temperature most appropriate for the cleaning job at hand which would also boost the effectiveness of the pressure washers.
However, even in a commercial or industrial setting, you may never require that type of psi from your pressure washers. The Super Max 6000, for instance, only has psi capabilities of 750 but that may be plenty for your needs, especially if you are concerned too much pressure could be damaging. Like the Super Max™ 9000 and 7000 models, the 6000 is also a tri-mode pressure washer so you do not necessarily need more power if you have hot water or steam to get the job done.
The bottom line when you are trying to determine which are the best pressure washers available, then consider all your options in advance so you have a clearer idea of your needs.
