Default Petrol Pressure Washer

I notice that Makro are often selling petrol pressure washers cheap.

Is it worth having a petrol version or should I just get an electric
Karcher from B&Q?


Pro's; Much more power usually available 5hp petrol machine = same power as
3hp electric, most DIY machines are around 2hp max. Work anywhere you can
get water.

Cons; Cheap petrol engines can be trouble, IMO only worth looking at Honda.
Higher service cost. Noisier than electric, cost more to run. Auto
stop/start not possible so engine must be shut down within minutes of
closing trigger gun.

Only worth it if you need extra welly or don't have power nearby.
