Description of the high-pressure electric cleaner
An electric pressure washer is a device that provides pressure through an electric cable, and it collects water through a tap with normal pressure.
Electric pressure washers fall into two categories:
– Hot water operation: the most efficient.
– Coldwater operation: the most common.
Characteristics of this pressure washer
There are 2 main types of pressure washers: electric and thermal.
Today’s most consumer pressure washers are equipped with an electric motor, and this post will tell you more about it. To begin, it would help if you chose an electric pressure washer by taking into account the following purchasing criteria:
Cleaning power
The power depends on the pressure and the water flow. This power is measured in Watts; it is the multiplication of the flow and the pressure. The more intensive the work to be done with the machine, the more powerful it will be:
– Power of 2000 Watts: the general public.
– Power of 2500 Watts: pro and semi-pro.
– Beyond that: industrial.
Pressure
The higher the pressure, the more effective the cleaning.
– Pressure of 160 bars: the general public.
– Pressure up to 200 bars: pro and semi-pro.
– Pressure up to 220 bars: industrial.
Water flow rate
Expressed in liters per minute, the higher the water flow rate, the more efficient the cleaning.
– Water flow rate up to 600 liters per hour: private individuals.
– Water flow rate up to 1,000 liters per hour: pro and semi-pro.
– Water flows up to 1,200 liters per hour: industrial.
Note: water and electricity do not mix well: to handle your device with a minimum of comfort and safety, make sure you choose a model with a minimum of 4 meters of cable.
Autonomy
– Less than one hour: private individual, occasional use: terrace, garden furniture, garage floor.
– From 1 to 2 hours: pro and semi-pro, daily use: extensive surface cleaning, vehicles.
– From 2 to 8 hours: industrial, intensive use: cleaning machines, vehicles, and engines.
