PowerSmart DL1038A
#7 in GasFull review
A low cost gas washer with a long hose for homeowners who clean a few times a year. Judge it as a 3000 PSI machine, not the 3800 PSI in the title.

Greenworks Pro 3000 PSI GPW3001
#1 in ElectricFull review
One of the most powerful plug-in washers, for homeowners who want near gas cleaning without engine upkeep. Flow is still well below gas.
