What Redditors Say

Best praise vs top criticism for DeWalt Gas Pressure Washer

Best Praise
+2 pts
“I recommended a gas pressure washer because it's going to be the most cost effective way to achieve what he wants to accomplish. He can buy a 3400psi 2.4 gpm craftsman at Lowe's for 400 which is his budget. It's definitely not ideal but will accomplish both task and he wouldn't be able to come close to that with an electric pressure washer in that price range. I currently have a gas Craftsman and would much rather have an electric for cars. There are some things electric just can't do as efficiently as gas. Nothing macho about it. Just facts.”
