I’ve looked at a few websites and see that I can get gas powered washers for upwards of $400 and also get small electric ones for as low as $80. I understand that the big difference seems to be the pressure that each puts out (PSI) but that’s all I understand.

Can I get a compressor so I can say attach a paint sprayer, a tire inflator and then attach a head so I can pressure wash? Or do I have to get a compressor for paint and air and then a pressure washer as well? I’m mostly interested in the washing part but would be nice to have an all in one solution if that is even available?

Here is what I want to do…wash the cars, RV, kids bikes, driveway, vinyl siding on the house and basic yardwork type of chores.

Please help me figure out what to buy?

I have decided I would like electric to keep it low maintainence. My husband borrowed a friends pressure washer & ended up tearing up our lawn swing cushions. I just want to make sure that doesn’t happen again. I just want to do basic cleaning a couple times a year on the house siding, driveway, cleaning the fence, cleaning the finished deck & maybe occasionally cleaning the car without damaging anything. What should I get? Accessories & cleaners needed? Please be specific.
