Mi-T-M offers a huge variety of residential pressure washers, available with an electric motor or gas engine, and ranging from 1400 PSI to 3000 PSI.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mitm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/MITM-Cleaning-Siding-copy.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mitm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/MITM-Cleaning-Siding-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1159\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Make sure you compare like models when deciding to buy or rent a pressure washer. Once you know which motor and type of washer best fits your needs, you can calculate the hourly cost of renting vs. buying. Renting a pressure washer may cost $50-$150 dollars per day. Buying a pressure washer, depending on the model and motor, runs $300 and up. Therefore, 2-3 rentals may be the same price as buying new.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mitm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/CV-2600-4MMC-Front-Entry-2-Flipped-colorized-copy-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"518\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mitm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/CV-2600-4MMC-Front-Entry-2-Flipped-colorized-copy-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1213\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mitm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/CV-2600-4MMC-Front-Entry-2-Flipped-colorized-copy-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.mitm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/CV-2600-4MMC-Front-Entry-2-Flipped-colorized-copy-2-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mitm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/CV-2600-4MMC-Front-Entry-2-Flipped-colorized-copy-2-768x497.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>When you rent a pressure washer, you don\u2019t have to maintain the machine. However, you may have to pay for rental insurance. When you buy a pressure washer, you\u2019ll need to pay for your own repairs, but you\u2019ll own the machine outright.&nbsp;With proper maintenance, you\u2019ll have it for many years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Availability<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mitm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Untitled-design.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mitm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Untitled-design.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mitm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Untitled-design.png 800w, https:\/\/www.mitm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Untitled-design-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/www.mitm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Untitled-design-768x384.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Availability is another factor.
