Just to inform...1.1 gallons per minute is not enough water to be very useful. With these you need not just a high psi but also more gpm. Really, none of the electric ones even hold a candle to a gas model(3+gmp), but if ur gonna go electric at least get up over 1.5gpm. This is also not a good price for those numbers. You can get 1.1gpm and 3000psi for 100 bucks

Please post a reputable brand of pressure washer rated at 3k psi for $100.

Here is a Westinghouse for 100. It has 1.76 gpm but only 2500psi. These numbers are actually better than 3k at 1.1gpm. The point is that you need to balance pressure and gpm. The pump is responsible for gpm and the nozzle tip is what makes the pressure. You can get a tiny pinhole tip and make all kinds of pressure. But a good washer will have a high gpm and then make use of that gpm with a tip that makes good pressure while also allowing the most water possible to flow from it. Also, this one with better gpm numbers is not refurbished.

Do you have an example of an electric that can do 1.5 GPM? It seems like without some technological breakthrough, 1.1 GPM is about the limit of what 120V @ 13 amp can do.

Except that the Westinghouse is actually 2000 psi / 1.2 gpm. The sales team will give you max psi at 2500 psi (what the motor could theoretically hit if there was basically no flow) and max output flow of 1.76gpm at minimal pressure to be able to sell more of these things, but the numbers of rated flow (real performance) can be found on their website. https://westinghouse.com/products...0TRz24ivIb

LOL, isn't doing 2500 PSI and 1.76g at the same time. It is EITHER 2500 PSI at highest "peak" pressure, or 1.76 gpm at max GPM but a much lower GPM (probably the soap nozzle)

BTW, if you read your own link:
"Delivers 2500 max PSI and 1.76 max GPM (at lowest pressure), and 2000 rated PSI and 1.2 rated GPM of water flow; Pro-style steel extendable 17.5" wand with quick-connect nozzles (0°, 15°, 25°, turbo and soap applicator)"

The manual is even more depressing:
"Rated Water Flow Rate ...............1.24 US GPM (4.7 LPM)
"Rated Max Pressure............................................1800 PSI"
https://m.media-amazon.com/images...KaswzL.pdf

Regardless; it was used, YMMV, and required a time machine to purchase?

LOL...you can always find the experts in every SD thread pointing to the bEtTeR product that is objectively worse in every one of their own goalposts.

Homeboi probably believes his BigLots TV is actually 50,000,000 to 1 contrast ratio Wink

My main point from the beginning was only to say that 1.1gpm is useless as a pressure washer. You want something that moves more water. I have owned both electric and gas and can tell you the electric is a toy and gas is a tool. Its not my job to find anyone a better deal at the moment and im certainly not going into manuals to find actual real world numbers to compare for you. Pumps make gpm, not pressure. Pressure is made by restricting flowing water via hoses and tips. So theres no point in getting impressed with 3000psi if ur only flowing 1.1gpm.

I don't think 1.1 GPM is completely useless. That's probably fine for washing a car. 3 GPM would likely strip the paint. But for cleaning concrete, it will be painful. You'll get 3000 PSI at 2 cm width. Hopefully there is some technical improvement in electric motors right around the corner that will make it possible to get more out of 120V 13a.

these washers are Completely USEFUL for many things. kinda like electric chain saws, they do well when they stay in their lane and use as designed.
of course the gas has more power et al, but not always necessary. if you Neeeed gas then buy gas, i don't need the gas and like the convenience of my Ryobi electrics.
