Watching years of mildew get blasted off a piece of patio furniture provides a unique form of satisfaction—a feeling attainable only with a pressure washer (also called power washers). After more than 80 hours of research and two weeks using eight pressure washer models to clean cars, outdoor chairs, and more, we found that the best pressure washer for most homeowners is the Ryobi RY142300 2300 PSI Brushless Electric Pressure Washer. All the electric washers we tested cleaned well, but the Ryobi has a durable motor, a longer hose, larger wheels for easier maneuvering, a better-designed cord, and lengthier warranty coverage than the competition.

Ryobi RY142300 2300 PSI Brushless Electric Pressure Washer

The best pressure washer
With extra-large wheels, a long hose, a high-end induction motor, and a well-designed GFCI plug, this Ryobi model is the most user-friendly electric pressure washer.
We recommend
DeWalt DWPW2400 2400 PSI Electric Cold-Water Pressure Washer, similar to our main pick but with minor inconveniences

DeWalt DWPW2400 2400 PSI Electric Cold-Water Pressure Washer

Similar to our main pick but with minor inconveniences
This DeWalt pressure washer is similar to the Ryobi, just with wider tires for great stability and a broader selection of nozzles, bonuses that boost the cost. But the cord wrap is frustrating.
Another good choice
Sun Joe SPX3000 Electric Pressure Washer, a good cleaner with fewer features

Sun Joe SPX3000 Electric Pressure Washer

A good cleaner with fewer features
For about $100 less than our pick, this model cleans comparably, but because it lacks several standout features, it’s much less convenient to use.
Budget friendly
Ryobi RY1419MTVNM 1900 PSI Electric Pressure Washer, more portable, not as powerful

Ryobi RY1419MTVNM 1900 PSI Electric Pressure Washer

More portable, not as powerful
This Ryobi model doesn’t clean as quickly as the others, but its small size and top handle make it portable and easy to store.
Another good choice
Ryobi RY803023 3100 PSI Honda Pressure Washer, more power, more portability, more maintenance

Ryobi RY803023 3100 PSI Honda Pressure Washer

More power, more portability, more maintenance
This gas-powered Ryobi model lets you wash things you can’t reach with an extension cord, and it cleans twice as fast as an electric model. But it requires fuel and more maintenance, and it’s louder and heavier, too.
