Not exactly sure where I should have posted this topic but does anyone here have any experience with the electric pressure washers, specifically the DeWalt DXPW1200E? I just put a pavestone patio put in and I’d like to use the pressure washer to clean it and the rest of the backyard off. Any help or opinions would be appreciated.

Eric and Dan did a review of this washer:

Thanks Silica, I’ve seen the video but was actually wondering if any of the TIA community has any hands on experience with the washer.

It’s not a common Dewalt pressure washer, so I don’t think any TIA crew member has any personal experience with it. The only problem is for price you don’t get much power compared to a gas unit. I do get why you would want an electric powered washer though its less of a hassle than gas.

I half-looked at the dewalt one a while ago. I found better cost/performance alternatives to be the Ryobi ones like the RY141900 (2000 psi model) or the RY14122 (1700 psi model). I ended up not buying anything and just borrowing, i also dont need it for professional use.

I have this one. http://m.homedepot.com/p/DEWALT-Honda-GX390-4200-PSI-4-GPM-Gas-Pressure-Washer-DXPW4240/203185026

And it’s a beast. I’d never go electric on a pressure washer. The power just isn’t there.
