Pros and Cons of Powerful Steam Pressure Washers

Powerful Steam Pressure Washers
There are two basic types of powerful steam pressure washers—ones that run on electricity and those that are driven by a combustion engine. Each type of machine has its own benefits and disadvantages. This post deals with some of the pros and cons of gas-powered pressure washing machines.

Cleaning Efficiency
Powerful steam pressure washers are among the most efficient cleaning machines. Some of the latest models of pressure washer equipment from Daimer® can provide an output pressure as high as 8000 psi and an output temperature of 330°F. In other words, powerful steam pressure washers are ideal for many demanding cleaning applications. The high temperature output melts stains and dirt and the high power output washes away impurities.

Operate Anywhere
Unlike electricity-powered machines, pressure washing machines driven by a combustion engine have greater mobility over corded machines. Electric machines require a plug point at a convenient location, but gas-powered machines require only gasoline or propane as fuel, which is quite easily available in most parts of the country. It is important, however, to use fuel powered machines in well ventilated areas.

Exhaust and Noise
Exhaust and noise are the potential drawbacks of powerful steam pressure washers. These machines produce exhaust due to burning of fuel. That is, these machines do increase humidity when used to clean the interior of a building. Gas-powered machines are often more noisy than fuel powered machines as well, making them less ideal for places like hospitals and nursing homes when a quiet surrounding is preferred.
