There is no Westinghouse at Lowes with the same PSI ratings currently for $89.
I also have a Sun Joe wood chipper (CJ603E) which I've owned for four years and used on probably six jobs. It's worked well and held up great at this point.
There is no Westinghouse at Lowes with the same PSI ratings currently for $89.
Case in point, even that Lowes Westinghouse washer he is talking about page offers several same versions, all with different PSI's and increasing prices based on mostly the PSI values.

Max Pressure at initial discharge ................................ 2200 PSI per CSA internal pressure testing
Rated Pressure under typical load ............................. 1700 PSI
Max Flow with nozzle open ...................................... 1.65 GPM at minimum pressure
Rated Flow under typical load .................................... 1.2 GPM
Therefore, typical use will get you up to 1700 PSI with a low angle nozzle and up to 1.2 GPM (and lower PSI) with a wide angle nozzle. You will never get the 1.65 GPM at 2200 PSI that the marketing would indicate.
Keat is also right that the limitation is on the current draw since it is highly desirable for these pressure washer to be able to run off a 15 A circuit without tripping the breaker. Therefore, the most obvious way to improve performance is with a more efficient motor, hence the push towards brushless motors. There are some technologies that seem to help a little such as Greenworks pressure washers ramp up the pressure, avoiding a current surge. However, you then have an annoying delay each time you pull the trigger. (Also the use of a turbo nozzle helps by providing high pressure in a small area, but rotating the stream to increase that area).
That's a lot of text for not even close to what was said. Read what started (overly basic question about comparing it to two lower PSI units (on top of many other factors).
My suggestion was to do more research. If you don't want to do the research or put much effort into it, the "easier/lazier" way is to just choose a higher PSI unit since (usually) those tend to be better/beefier in a number of ways.
Case in point, the $89 Westinghouse one is not just lower in PSI but has more plastic parts compared to this Sun Joe one.
Having used many, the metal parts tend to hold up a lot better than plastic wands, attachment points, etc. For an additional $10, I think it's worth it.
