You've definitely got me re-thinking the gas. I've been reading the user
reviews (FWIW), and the variability of opinions is worrisome. One guy
raves, and another guy rants. So I don't know who to believe.

But gas definitely has a down-side.


As with most reviews some raves and some rants.

The gas units can provide more pressure and more flow. . This might be
something if you do large jobs. Not so much for small jobs. Usually have
several more nozzle choices.If you go more than a short distance from the AC
outlet you need a heavy duty dropcord. It is recommended not to go over 100
feet with the dropcord.

The gas units do have some more upkeep.

While I doubt it is a worry as the electric units have a ground fault
detector, I don't like the idea of all that water around the electricity.

While not likely but you can use the electric unit inside a house or closed
up space. Even in a garage with large doors you need to leave the gas unit
outside and have a long hose and still be careful of the carbon monoxide
gas.
