An electric pressure washer is the easy way to clean a driveway, patio, deck, or car without a gas engine to maintain. This comparison puts one electric model each from Kärcher, Greenworks, Westinghouse, and WEN side by side on price, pressure, flow, weight, and warranty.
How We Chose
We picked four well known pressure washer brands that each sell an electric model in the 1,700 to 2,100 maximum PSI range on Amazon. These are not identical products. The PSI numbers are manufacturer ratings, and Westinghouse lists 2100 max PSI and 1800 rated PSI, so we show both. The Greenworks listing bundles a 12 inch surface cleaner attachment that the others do not include, which makes its price not directly comparable. Greenworks gives no weight on its product page or in the Amazon fields we checked, so we show that as not stated. PSI, GPM and weight come from the Kärcher, Greenworks and Westinghouse product pages and from WEN’s manual for the PW2000, which gives both rated and maximum values. The WEN PW2000 is a compact briefcase-style model rated at 1500 PSI and 1.2 GPM, so it is a lighter-duty pick than the others and sits at the low end of the price range. We left out Sun Joe and AR Blue Clean because the offers we found for them on Amazon were from third party sellers. Warranty terms come from the manufacturer’s own website where it names the model or product line, then from the Amazon listing, and we say so where neither gave a length. This is a researched comparison, not a hands-on test of these machines, so the comparison rests on Amazon listing details and manufacturer specifications. The Kärcher, Greenworks, Westinghouse and WEN are all available on Amazon, so check the seller on the listing before you buy. Prices are Amazon prices checked in September 2026 and can change.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much PSI do I need to clean a driveway or patio?
Electric pressure washers in the 1,500 to 2,000 PSI range handle most home cleaning such as cars, patio furniture, decks, and driveways. Higher PSI cleans faster but can damage soft wood and paint if used too close.
What is the difference between PSI and GPM?
PSI is the pressure of the water, and GPM is how much water flows per minute. Pressure loosens dirt, and flow rinses it away, so both matter. Compare rated values rather than only the maximum.
Do I need a surface cleaner attachment?
A surface cleaner is a round spinning head that cleans flat areas like driveways and patios faster and more evenly than a plain wand. It is optional, and only the Greenworks listing here includes one.
Can I use an electric pressure washer with a garden hose?
Yes. Most electric models connect to a standard garden hose and outdoor outlet. Check the length of the power cord and hose in the listing so you can reach the area you want to clean.
