  2. Ideal for using about 2-5 hours per week.

Deciding Which Pressure Washer To Choose

  1. Consider these key factors when purchasing a pressure washer:
    • Cleaning units
    • Engine hour rating
    • Pump hour rating
    • Warranty

Medium Duty vs Contractor Duty

  1. The medium duty ChoreMaster 3200 gives you 3200 PSI at 2.4 GPM for a total of 7680 cleaning units while the Job Pro 4000 Direct Drive gives 4000 PSI at 3.5 GPM for a total of 14,000 cleaning units.
  2. Using this comparison, you can see the Job Pro pressure washer will clean almost twice as fast because it has nearly double the cleaning units. What's the best value when choosing a pressure washer? Work Pro Pressure Washer: 7,680 cleaning units, 3200 PSI @ 2.4 GPM, 3200 x 2.4 = 7,680; Job Pro Pressure Washer: 14,000 cleaning units, 4000 PSI @ 3.5 GPM, 4000 x 3.5 = 14,000
