Looking for the best petrol pressure washer for your home or business? Don't open your wallet until you've checked our list of awesome contenders. Here we've done the heavy lifting for you; by both testing and gathering customer reviews of the best petrol pressure washer models available.
If you are serious about getting quality results, a petrol pressure washer is a solid choice. Compared to electric models, petrol pressure washers are excellent for heavier duty, outdoor tasks and obviously on unpowered work/farm sites. They tend to be noisier than their electric counterparts, but they also generally pack more grunt, which means they can get the job done faster. And because you don't need to be near a power outlet, you're free to move around from job to job. Just remember that petrol pressure washers emit carbon dioxide, so they are not suited for indoor use.
Okay, so which petrol pressure washer should you go for?:
