His is all streaky, unevenly clean, misses a lot of gunk removal..
If your goal is to have a handy little washer that really cant do big things very easily and might die any time, then electric is for you..
If you dont use it a lot - say for Detailing - then an electric is perfect for smaller jobs, etc..
If you want a more sturdy pressure washer with more gpm, a bigger, heavier duty pump, one you can put 50+ feet of hose on and do a lot more stuff, then look at gas powered units.. The only maintenance I ever do to mine which is over 10+ years old now, is change the engine oil at least every 2 years, change the air filter, and spark plug whenever I think it needs it..
It has never broken, it does not use oil, smoke, or fail to work..
Good Luck with your research !
