having a gas engine to care of could be a potential PITA. I want to

Price of electrics is $99 to $199.
Gas from $249 to $thousands.

Your thoughts?

I've got electric.

Not much good for siding that you can't reach.

Was watching neighbor clean his siding with a gas powered with an
extension and asked if that would work with mine.

He pointed out that while mine may have had the pressure, it did not
have the volume and extension would be useless for me.

Depends on your needs. Extra gas engines are a PITA to nurse, OTOH if
job is big, gas would probably be better.

In 120V countries an electric one has limited uses. I have both. The
electric one is good for smaller jobs that don't need the volume and
pressure of a gasoline powered one.

In 240V countries you can get powerful electric pressure washers. You
can get them here too but they are commercial models and very expensive.
