Modern man is surrounded by just a huge amount of all kinds of technology. Some devices, such as a hob and a refrigerator, are essential, without them it is almost impossible to live even a couple of days. The main mass simply facilitates everyday tasks. This includes washing machines, microwave ovens and much more. Finally, there are devices that will only be useful to a small number of people. These are the heroes of our next rating - high-pressure washers.

Almost certainly, each of you saw these devices at car washes, where they famously coped with the dirt on cars. A powerful jet escaping from the nozzle of the sink easily knocks all the dirt and dust off the car without damaging the paintwork. However, it is wrong to think that high pressure washers are needed only for washing cars. These devices can be used in everyday life, especially for owners of country houses. With their help, you can clean the stone path, wash the facade and windows of the house, wash the carpets, remove stubborn dirt in the bath. You can even clean the pipes with a special nozzle. In general, the scope is limited only by your imagination.

Pressure washers, like most other equipment, are divided into models for domestic and professional use. Household appliances, as a rule, have a power of no more than 2 kW. This is quite enough for washing a car (pressure 100-120 bar).It should be borne in mind that household models of sinks are not designed for serious loads, and therefore are not recommended for use for more than two hours a day. For longer loads, professional-grade sinks are suitable. Their power is somewhat greater - from 3 kW (pressure of the order of 200 bar), higher and more reliable. Which class to give your preference to is up to you. We have only collected the best representatives in our traditional rating.

The best inexpensive household sinks: budget up to 10,000 rubles.

We start with the most budgetary representatives of pressure washers, which can be bought by spending no more than 10,000 rubles. These models can rightly be called mini-sinks. Firstly, they are quite compact, which not only saves space in the pantry, but also makes it easier to use. Secondly, they have slightly weaker engines than expensive models. Thanks to this, water consumption is much less, but the quality of cleaning does not suffer from this. Finally, the younger generation has a significantly simplified package, functionality and short hoses.

Based on all of the above, low-cost pressure washers should be recommended to owners of small areas and compact machines. The best representatives of the class, as usual, in our rating.

The best household sinks: price-quality

The second category in our rating, at first glance, differs little from the previous one. These are all the same household sinks that are suitable only for use at home, where constant loads are not expected. But the differences are still quite significant. First of all, sinks from this category have an increase in power and water consumption by about a quarter. The maximum pressure is not higher, but the power regulator is increasingly common. And in general, there are a little more additional functions than in the budget class.

Models from the “price-quality” category, thanks to sufficiently long hoses, can be recommended for purchase to happy owners of large plots and owners of large cars.Of course, you will have to fork out a tidy sum, but it's worth it. Our rating will help you to spend your hard-earned money wisely.

The best professional car washes

The rating continues with the most interesting pressure washers in all respects. As you understand, the approach to professional technology is a little different. First of all, manufacturers focus on reliability - nevertheless, these devices will have to work for several hours in a row, which means that the device must withstand an increased load. The power is also different - at least 3 kW. The pressure is appropriate, and therefore it is not worth giving these monsters into the hands of inexperienced users. If they don’t kill themselves, they will definitely spoil the paint on the car. Water consumption ... I think you already understood - in professional-level sinks everything is more powerful, longer, more voluminous and more reliable. The price is also higher, where without it.

It is not worth buying such devices for ordinary people. For home use, only the “youngest” models are suitable. The potential of top players simply will not be revealed. It is much more reasonable to purchase these pressure washers for use in car washes, service stations and cleaning companies.

The best petrol pressure washers

In industrial facilities, in large motor transport enterprises and some other commercial organizations, the need for a pressure washer depends on the type of activity. In this case, one often has to deal with the remoteness of the place of washing from the stationary power supply. In such cases, the best solution would be to purchase equipment with a gasoline-driven water pump.

How to choose a pressure washer for a car

The choice of a pressure washer is associated with a number of specific nuances associated with the selection of characteristics for certain conditions of use. In addition, difficulties are associated with an abundance of offers from various companies, so not only beginners, but also experienced users can “get lost” in such a situation. To prevent this from happening, we recommend paying special attention to the following parameters:

Type of water intake. As a rule, manufacturers now produce universal sinks that can use water from both the plumbing system and from a limited capacity. However, it should be borne in mind that when water is taken from the tanks, the liquid pressure at the outlet of the hose will drop by about 20-30 bar. Therefore, models with a pressure of 120 bar for autonomous car washing (not from the system) are no longer suitable.

Pressure. The key washing parameter characterizing the degree of suitability for washing off old dirt. If the body of your car constantly takes on a "mud" blow, then you should give preference to sinks, the outlet pressure of which approaches 150 bar. But for washing off light dirt, washing with 120-130 bar at maximum speed will be quite a sufficient option.

Performance. This parameter is characterized by the amount of liquid consumed, as well as the size of the contact patch of the jet with the surface being cleaned. Other things being equal (the same pressure and performance), it is better to give preference to the sink that has a higher consumption rate - this way you will significantly reduce the time of washing your car (or other things being cleaned).

Power. The key characteristic of the washer power supply, which directly affects its performance and maximum pressure. We strongly recommend that you pay attention to power as a last resort, giving preference to the initial selection according to the two above parameters.

Pump and piston material. An aspect that determines the durability and maintainability of high pressure washers. In budget household models and products of the middle price segment, plastic pumps are most often used, which are characterized by low wear resistance and durability. More expensive models use pumps with brass and silumin cases, the resource of which is incomparable with plastic counterparts (besides, they are repairable). As for pistons, ceramics and cermets are most often used in sinks as a material of "average life expectancy". Ideally, you should choose such devices in which the most durable metal pistons are installed.
