Without further ado, let’s dive into the best home use pressure washers and find a great option to get your home looking top notch again!

First up is the Paxcess High Pressure Washer – this is an excellent place to start if you are looking for a pressure washer on a budget, the price is very affordable. We’ve always been a big fan of Paxcess pressure washers, but this latest version is by far the best we have tried.

The main reason for this is the motor providing an enormous 135BAR, in addition to coming with four nozzles and a foam sprayer to ensure that you have everything you need for a variety of jobs. The Paxcess is also highly convenient with its 26ft anti-kink hose and an equally long power cord, ensuring that you will have no problem accessing all of those hard to reach places.

The high BAR and convenience isn’t all this pressure washer has to offer though – it offers very high performance at 7.5 litres per minute, allowing you to blast those large areas of grime within a very short time frame! Last but not least, safety is always key when it comes to pressure washing, particularly when you have children around the house.

This is why we love the safety lock on this pressure washer, ensuring that your children cannot accidentally fire it and cause all sorts of trouble.

Next up, we have the Karcher K3 Home Pressure Washer – for anyone who has never heard of Karcher, where have you been? They are a staple of the heavy-duty home pressure washer industry and the Karcher K3 is no exception!

It’s a particularly great tool for garden cleaning as it includes a patio and surface cleaner, a bottle of patio and decking detergent, and all other standard nozzles you would expect from a high-quality pressure washer. There are tons of other uses for the Karcher K3 though, including car cleaning with its handy built-in detergent tank.

In addition to these useful accessories, the unit is designed to be very easy to move weighing in at just 6.5kg, resulting in it being slender to store and easily accessible through its handle. With its 120 BAR motor, 380 LPH flow rate and 6-meter hose, this pressure washer is an excellent value tool being cheaper than the Karcher K4 yet only marginally less powerful.

Overall, Karcher has always provided high-quality and reliable pressure washers, and the K3 is no exception. With its 2-year guarantee, you can be sure that this tool will help you with your cleaning tasks for the distant future!

The Bosch Universal Aquatak 135 is another heavy duty mid-range pressure washer that will do wonders for cleaning around the home.

The standout features of this tool lie within its power, producing a huge 135 BAR output and 410 LPH flow rate! It’s a great tool for cleaning your car, patio, or just about anything else you may need to restore, and the 3-in-1 nozzle and various accessories will help you achieve this with ease.

Accessories include a detergent applicator and large wheels, and these along with the handle makes it ideal for easy manoeuvrability and a self-priming pump that can draw water directly from a bucket of water allowing for easy filling.

Overall, this is an excellent option for a mid-budget pressure washer, providing excellent versatility, great ease of use with its 7m hose, and most importantly high water pressure! Best of all, if any of these listed features seem unnecessary to you, the Bosch Universal

Aquatak actually comes as two different power options available at different prices. Whichever option you choose, it will be ready to use straight out the box, so you can spend less time setting it up and more time cleaning!

Next up is the Black and Decker BXPW1600PE – with this powerful pressure washer we’re hitting a pretty high water flow of 420 LPH, powered by 125 BAR of pressure.

This will help you get just about any job done! The machine comes with tons of useful accessories that will help you obliterate stubborn stains around the house such as a patio cleaner which is great for patios and driveways, in addition to a fixed brush which is designed for cleaning vehicles.

We can’t complain about the hose length which is 6 meters, and the 0.4L detergent bottle that comes in the box is very useful to have.

Much like other top options, the BXPW1600PE also guarantees a high-quality product for a minimum of 2 Years, so you can be sure to get some seriously good use out of this despite the relatively low price tag.

However, if the 125 BAR pressure isn’t quite enough for you, you should consider investigating the Black and Decker BXPW2200PE.

This is within the same product range, but instead boasts an additional 30 BAR, 20 LPH and 2M in hose length! This won’t be necessary for everyone, but it’s certainly worth the cash if you think it’s necessary for the job!

When it comes to pressure washers it is important to pay for something that works excellently as opposed to focusing on the price, but if something offers both then that is a great added bonus. Rritzan is an ideal example of this – the unit is cheap and excellent for casual use at home, whilst providing a whopping 110 BAR for the price, an adjustable nozzle, onboard storage and a 5m hose length.

Despite these features, Rritzian have managed to squeeze everything into a small unit that weighs just over 5kg! Many of the pressure washers already discussed provide stronger features than this Rritizan, yet it is not a significant difference for such a large price gap.

Furthermore, the Rritzan Electric Pressure Washer boasts a pretty unique feature – a customer support line that guarantees problem resolutions within 24 hours, no matter what the problem is.

Due to this reason, Rritizan customers are generally very happy with the products, so you can spend less time worrying about setup time and more time tackling grime!

Now that we’ve covered some low to mid-range pressure washers, let’s take a look at something a little bit fancier – the Wilks-USA RX550i. This powerful machine will cost you well over £250, but the features really make up for it.

You’re talking a max 510 LPH water flow, 262 BAR max pressure and an enormous 26-meter hose length! Just those three specifications alone are pretty impressive, making it an excellent choice for bad stains that other powerful pressure washers have failed to remove.

However, there’s more – the RX550i also features onboard water and detergent storage and a built-in hose reel to keep the enormous hose manageable. The onboard water storage means that the unit does not have the ability to draw water directly from a bucket, but whilst this is actually a good thing, it may not be what you are used to.

Last but not least, this powerful pressure washer also has a quick and easy to connect nozzle system which comes bundled with loads of accessories. We challenge you to find a mess that the USA RX550i cannot handle!

If you’re looking for a pressure washer on a budget, the Stream 1650W is a solid choice to go for. For under £100 this power washer will provide 135 BAR and a massive 420 LPH of water flow.

Whilst this certainly isn’t as powerful as the previously mentioned Wilks USA-RX550i, it will certainly be more than enough for the majority of cleaning jobs. The included patio cleaner is a fantastic machine for outdoor surfaces, and the turbo nozzle feature is a great stand-out feature when it comes to cleaning stubborn grime that other nozzles struggle with.

It even comes with an attachable detergent nozzle to ensure that you don’t need any additional peripherals in order to apply a thick layer of soap to your cleanses. Finally, we have to take our hats off to Stream for providing a fully waterproof pressure washer!

Not every washer can claim this, and it allows us to be sure that our pressure washer is durable and most importantly, safe to use! If you’re looking for a pressure washer that can tackle the usual cleaning tasks found around the home, the Stream 1650W is a great choice – especially if you’re looking for a bargain!

It can be difficult to decide whether to go for a low or high-cost pressure washer, especially when you are new to the tool. This is why we think it’s a great idea to meet the price in the middle, going for something like the Ryobi RPW150XRB.

Whilst the power is relatively mid-ranged with 150 BAR and 420 LPH water flow, the stand-out features lay in the additional features of this power washer. It’s a particularly good choice for anyone looking for attachables and extras, considering that it includes a rotary brush for surfaces, turbo and vario-lances and a built-in detergent tank.

With an 8m hose that can be easily coiled around the built-in reel, it’s also a great choice when it comes to accessibility and usability. You won’t find this pressure washer in shops though – it’s an Amazon exclusive, but this comes with an excellent perk.

It means that you can choose one of four power varients to optimize the RPW150XRB for your own personal needs and budget. The model with the highest cost (the pressure 110 B) costs under £100, with the best model (the 150 BAR variant) costing just under £200.

The most important thing when it comes to choosing the best pressure washer is usually the BAR output. As you have probably learned from this list, heavy duty power washers with a BAR of over 200 usually come at a very high cost – but not the Norse SK155 Electric Pressure Washer!

The value for money of this tool is pretty insane as you will have a whopping 255 BAR and 560 LPH of water flow for just under £200! When you compare this to other options on this list, you will understand why we simply had to include it. You will be able to clean up to 65 square meters per hour with this bad boy, and you won’t need to worry about being limited to a small hose length and this measures up at a huge 18 meters!

It also comes bundled with a ton of accessories including a rotary brush, fixed brush, surface cleaner and tons of other nozzles. The Norse SK155 is not an Amazon exclusive, but you can still find a few different versions of this model that are appropriate for different power requirements and budgets.

Overall, it’s a truly solid pressure washer that has clearly put a lot of emphasis on value for money. Tons of accessories, tons of power, all for under £200 – brilliant.

Last but not least, we simply had to include the LTPAG Electric Pressure Washer in this list of the best pressure washers for home-usage.

This is a high-quality mid-range pressure washer that you can buy for around £150, featuring a modest power level of 135 BAR and a water flow output of 480 LPH. Whilst this isn’t exactly the most powerful option on the list, the LTPAG excels in various other areas.

For example, this pressure washer is the only one featured on our list that includes rubber suspension in order to reduce the level of vibrations when working. Along with onboard storage and five easy to snap in nozzles, it’s clear that the conceptual focus of the LTPAG is making the pressure washing experience as smooth, comfortable and easy as possible.

In addition to these accessibility features, the LTPAG also includes a 5m hose and reel, a surface cleaner for patio and outdoor surfaces, and a detergent bottle and brush.

It’s a solid pressure washer for a pretty cheap price and is definitely one of the easiest and most comfortable tools to use on this list.
