Best Electric PW? DEWALT 2400 PSI 1.1 GPM Pressure Washer Power Review DWPW2400

[@sendeth]

I have that exact one. It spent most of its life in my garage and has only been used maybe 10 or 12 times. Now it won't even hold pressure. It just goes up and down up and down

[@volli56]

Have now used this to clean house siding and it performed well kzbin.infoUgkx43QMbQqu67IZadu9ou8Sg1BdrunMRNqX I also bought some wand extensions which enabled higher washing without needing a ladder. I recommend both. This unit arrived quickly, was easy to assemble (only had to attach the handle), and arrived in perfect condition. The only very slight downgrade from a perfect score is the design has a low handle and requires pulling from the side. My old washer was an upright model, while this one is more horizontal. Other than that, it's perfect for my needs. It has a great deal of pressure and more easily cleaned the house siding, porch rails and concrete than did my older model. The engine is a bit louder, as well, but the total time to clean was reduced by the more powerful spray. Did I mention it starts on the first or second pull every time?!! I am definitely happy with this model.

Wish I had watched this a week ago! Bought a greenworks at lowes,,would not turn on. Bought karcher from amazon,,could not complete putting together and returned. Back to lowes and bought gas craftsman,,happy so far!

[@WorkshopAddict]

Your struggles are exactly what most see with Electric pressure washers. That is why I suggest buying local. With your gas model, use stabil in every tank and it will last forever.

[@herdfreak2]

I just purchased one and really like it for my single story house, shed and my dirt bikes.

[@RogueShadowTCN]

I just bought a Active Jobsite VE52, I've only tried it a bit so far, but it seems very nice. 1800psi 2.0 gpm electric, quiet, small and portable. Oh, it was $210.

[@WorkshopAddict]

Test that 2 gallon GPM. I almost guaranty it will do just over 1gpm.

[@RogueShadowTCN]

@@WorkshopAddict Every review I found that did tests gives it just under 2 gpm, over 1.7. And a reasonable accurate psi. Though I haven't done the timed test myself yet.

[@ToolswithSoAlz]

Great review. I own this pressure washer, reviewed it myself, and I agree with everything you've said here. I do love the little thing. I ended up using the Turbo attachment for my car and it was completely safe. Again, great review.

[@WorkshopAddict]

Thanks for sharing!

[@goldcrownkingmod]

The turbo is supposed to only hit 800PSI and when I tested it it only when to around 820 for me. When using the 15 degree I got 2100PSI. So the turbo is relatively safe, but the turbo completely destroyed the paint on the side of my house. I stick to the 40 on my car.

[@ToolswithSoAlz]

@@goldcrownkingmod I don't blame you. I only wash my car so the Turbo works well enough. I have found myself using the 40 a lot more recently.

[@T6Tarek]

Be and Landa make some excellent electric pressure washers. I bought one of these to replace a older commercial grade electric pressure washer that finally died. I threw the hose away and installed quick connects with a real hose. I wish you could adjust the pressure but don't expect much for 300 bucks. I'll tell you my one serious complaint is that when I put a pressure gauge on it I have never achieved more then 1200 psi. Where on my gas units I'm generally with in a few hundred psi of max pressure.

[@meanodustino9563]

I gave up on electric pressure washers. However, STIHL does make a good one👍. Self shut off and turn on with a trigger squeeze. Small garage I worked at had two and I liked them alot. Probably put out be at pressure of any electric out there.

[@eosjoe565]

It's nice to see a removeable soap tank for easy cleaning and rinsing. I wish more manufacturers would build their machines this way instead of using non-removeable soap tanks.

[@elviejondelabarba492]

Most pressure washer soap dishes are not good, a foamer is better, that is not important.

[@eosjoe565]

@@elviejondelabarba492They each have their place. A soap dispenser is best for washing house siding whereas a foam cannon is nice for vehicles and machinery. I have a new Karcher unit with a soap tank that just lifts out. I also have a soap cannon. I use whichever is best for the task at hand.

[@josh33025]

I've always been a nut for getting high psi gas washers but really didn't know that some electrics auto turn off which is great for small tasks and washing a car when you go back and forth using it. Plus you can experiment with bigger tip orifice size to get more gpm out of it.

[@Gaba-oo4qb]

Yes psi equates to power and gpm equates to rate. I wouldn’t agree that gpm will mean “how fast you clean a deck”. How fast you clean a deck will be dependent how thick is the grim on the deck and what kind of grim is it - whether it’s dried up oil spill or algae, etc. So really your effort and success on cleaning will be dependent on both psi rate and gpm rate and what you are trying to wash off. I would multiply gpm by pressure to determine efficiency.

[@MikeBMW]

Nice review! Great item for small jobs! However, after working with a friend in a professional pressure washing business during the 2007-8 economic downturn, I can't use anything but a gas powered pressure washer, especially for a 12" surface cleaner. The pressure washer and my generator are the only gas tools I use these days. First thing I did when I bought my pressure washer was replace the wand and the hose with the proper items. Again, thanks!

[@10SecondZ06]

Nice review man. Mine will be here in a few days, free shipping from Home Depot. I already have the 50’ flex hose, quick connects, short gun, and MJJC Foam Cannon Pro.

[@whatfreedom7]

Just put a Gear tie around the wand. Idk if I like that soap dispenser the way the hose has to be removed every time you have to empty it. Purchasing a soap sprayer separate my be a upgrade to buy maybe.

[@torianowarren3684]

Which one you prefer the Ryobi 2300 electric brushless motor or this dewalt electric pressure washer.

[@WorkshopAddict]

Whatever one is on sale. The only real difference is the tires, so I would get the Dewalt if they are the same price.

[@jamesbubnick]

Good review: 2 questions for you...have you thought about getting a PSI gauge so that way you can tell us if the mfg is over or underrating the PSI, or if the unloader is adjusted on the low side. For example I just purchased a 3400 PSI pump(low/medium grade unit) and they rated it as 3400 PSI in reality after maxing the unloader and having it on the correct sized motor it's more like 3000 PSI. Same with the GPM, since cleaning power is GMPxPSI if you had a bucket with a lid on it to avoid spillage then use the unit for a minute and take the average of different sized nozzles.

[@WorkshopAddict]

I did, and normally show the gpm calculation with the bucket. My filming of it was corrupted. I also have a pressure gage, but it does not fit on these style PWs.

[@jamesbubnick]

@@WorkshopAddict Gotcha, thanks for replying. Have you tried any Vortexx Pressure Washers, they're from Michigan too!!!!

[@10SecondZ06]

Just to let you know, I don’t see the Pump Saver link in the description.

[@unklefunkmaster]

Hi - have you done a review on the DeWALT DWPW2100 pressure washer yet? I'd be interested to hear your opinion on that one, too. Thanks!

[@mpatla8462]

Hey can anyone tell me how to turn the soap flow off when I don’t want soap????

[@acrookedpinky2689]

It dosnt.i bought this one,and just discovered you can't switch from soap to rinse.that sucks.thats why he used a soap cannon instead of using the tank.

[@mike-oh7pz]

So which one ended up being the best out of all the ones you've tested?>

[@BVLVI]

I am an electric Pressure Washer addict. I feel like I am amongst my people.

[@parkerk7018]

Could you check out BE power equipment and their gas pressure washers?

[@WorkshopAddict]

Will look into them. Any reason why BE stands out to you?

[@roberthoward4170]

Will this pressure washer work with the DeWalt 18-in surface cleaner

[@WorkshopAddict]

It will, but it will be slow as the psi and gpm are low for that attachment.

[@sxkiro.]

Best Pressure washer for washing the car?

[@dwightd9939]

Quick question say for instance I don't want to use the water hose from the house and I want to use a water tank and water pump mounted on my truck is this recommended for this type of pressure washer is it okay to go that route? If so do you have a recommendation for the water pump

[@willgoogwalker2586]

Is there a way to turn off the soap when it's time to rinse?

[@WorkshopAddict]

Soap will only come out when you use the soap nozzle. If you use any of the other pressure nozzles to rise, there will be no soap.

[@gabelitell8632]

Nice reviews Like the videos Wondering if you would do the green works 2700 or 3000 electric pressure washer? definitely would like to here what psi pressure your getting

[@WorkshopAddict]

I can try

[@Jamesla30]

I would also love to see this! Seems like the GPW3000 might be one of the best electrics on the market.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Seems like a nice unit

[@chrisE815]

That's what she said

[@sobarber]

Motor cycles power often. Is that a problem waiting to happen?

[@ColinPopoviciu]

can you review the Sun Joe SPX4600? looks similar to the DeWalt but more power at least on the paper. great video as always

[@drive-2786]

pressure is marketed as a built up in the machine not as an out-put .Remember now its an 3rd world immigrant telling u this bud .

[@BIGTK10]

what is a good Electric Pressure Washer or a good website to buy them?

[@adamg.1845]

Is this better than the Greenworks 2300 which is on sale at Lowe’s for $249?

[@WorkshopAddict]

IMHO, yes.

[@_P0tat07_]

It appears to have a generic motor and pump assembly which is disappointing. They’re notorious for failing (the pump more so than the motor) especially with hard mineralized water, it just builds up heavily on the cast aluminum.

[@WorkshopAddict]

Few of them last through well water or high mineral content use without a lot of pump saver use.

[@_P0tat07_]

@@WorkshopAddict I’m from upstate New York we have VERY hard water. That’s an understatement. I went to fix an electric pressure washer at work this week and opened the pump up and it looked like someone was trying to pump cocaine through it

[@WorkshopAddict]

@@_P0tat07_ I assume they are connected to water or not cleaned out all the time. If they were disconnected from water and sprayed out with pump saver, the minerals would not build up.

[@_P0tat07_]

@@WorkshopAddict it’s the kind of work place that would rather buy a new pressure washer every year instead of just doing simple preventative maintenance 🤦🏻‍♂️

Great review as always :) If you had to choose between the Ryobi that you reviewed last year (kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZzEqYqfq8hpgMU) and this one, which one would you get ? Assuming both are locally available and they both get the recommended hose / quickconnects upgrades. Thanks !

[@WorkshopAddict]

So the Ryobi model made now does not shut down like this one. I like how the Dewalt is constructed better and if they were priced the same, I would buy the Dewalt. If there was more than a $25 price difference, I would buy the less expensive model.

[@iceleck2940]

Ryobi reviewed last year

Where is this one made. Is it another China made one.

[@blazinmtbco719]

Yeah man it’s cheap what you expect? Prepare to spend a few grand for a commercial electric pressure washer.

I just bough an AR Blue electric pressure washer. It claims to be 1900psi @ 19amps with 2 gpm. I have a spigot with both hot and cold water in the garage and this unit says it will pump hot water up to 180 degree water. I haven't tried it out yet but it's super heavy and looks very high quality. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CVSPMCG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
