• OK, so you have a job to do and it requires a
  power washer. Its a one-off job, so youre not
  particularly interested in buying one for
  yourself. No problem, just visit your local tool
  hire business and hire onebut not so fast! There
  are a few things that you need to know first
  namely, how to choose the right one for your
  needs. Below, were going to help you to work it
  out.

• Electric pressure washer vs Petrol pressure
  washer.
• You can buy two different types of pressure
  washer, one fuelled with petrol, the other
  electricity. The electric washers are more
  convenient you dont have to go to the hassle of
  buying petrol. Theyre great for small jobs
  around the house and garden.
•  
• The petrol washers are much more powerful.
• They also enable you to go further away from a
  property, because you dont have wires to plug
  in. however, they are more expensive than the
  electric washers, and you will have to replace
  any petrol used or will have to supply the petrol
  in the first place.
•  
• Do you need adjustable pressure settings?
• Depending on the job, you might want to hire a
  pressure washer that has multiple pressure
  settings. For example, if you want to pressure
  wash a pavement you will need to use a hard
  pressure setting, but if you need to wash a
  fence, then a lower pressure might be more
  appropriate, in case you accidentally damage the
  fence. If you want to wash both, then you will
  need a washer with adjustable settings.

• How strong are you?
• Some models you need to carry, while others have
  wheels. The models that you need to carry can
  become very heavy over time, and so can be
  encumbering. Choose a model that suits your
  fitness level.
•  
• How strong do you need the pressure washer to be?
  
• Different pressure washers have different
  pressures. The higher the pressure, the harder
  the material that you can wash.
• Here is a rough guide
• A pressure washer with a PSI of 1450 sensitive
  wash for things like decking, fencing, and garden
  furniture.
• A pressure washer with a PSI of 1600 medium
  sensitivity, good for washing things like cars,
  bicycles, paint, sturdy garden furniture, and
  patios.
• A pressure washer with a PSI of 1750 heavy-duty
  washer, suitable for pathways, driveways,
  stonework, strong decking, and metal.

• Which accessories do you need?
• Finally, you should choose a hire company that
  has a decent supply of accessories. For example,
  if you're looking for pressure washer hire Newton
  Abbot Devon be sure to use a hire company that
  can offer all the usual accessories on top of the
  machine.
• These accessories include  
• Lances
• Patio cleanser
• Brushes
• Extending hoses
• Cleaning products
• There is little more annoying than paying to hire
  a piece of equipment, then finding out that its
  not up to the task. Sure, a pressure washer hire
  wont break the bank, but its still money that
  is better off spent wisely.
