An electric pressure washer runs its pump from a household outlet. Most deliver 1,500 to 2,300 PSI at 1.2 to 1.8 GPM, which is enough for cars, outdoor furniture, grills, siding at ground level and small decks. They’re quiet enough to use without bothering the neighbors, and with total stop the motor shuts off when you let go of the trigger. Many advertise a peak pressure above what they hold while spraying; the product pages say which figure each maker gives.
