Default Pressure washers ?

Didn't know where to put this, so please mods don't delete it, move it wherever you like. Just wanted to know a quick thing about them. There is electric ones and gas powered ones.

Which ones are better, and where can I get a good one just to pressure wash my garage ?

I heard home depot has some really good ones or lowes. I was wondering which one would be also good to clean up a dirty engine bay once the motor is out.

What kinds of condition is the garage floor in? Do you have an epoxy coating on it? I would stay away from gas powered pressure washers unless you're starting a business. I worked at Home Depot for 8 years and every summer we would demo the pressure washers...the Husky electric ones are good..the 1750 or 1850 model (cant remember which specifically) would remove the painted on lines from the parking lot spaces...probably more powerful than what you need to clean your garage floor and wayy more powerful than what you want for an engine bay. Be very careful if you're gonna use it to clean the bay, cause if you set it too high it could start stripping the paint right off the frame.

My uncle has an electric one. Blew wood chips right off the patio.
