Tired of Renting a Power Washer? Find Out if it Makes More Sense to Buy

Tired of Renting a Power Washer? Find Out if it Makes More Sense to Buy

It may seem easier to make a list of items that can’t be washed with a pressure washer rather than listing out everything a pressure washer can clean. From your vehicles to your garage, from your fence to your deck, from your siding to your outdoor furniture, power washers are incredible options to quickly and easily get things squeaky clean.

If you find yourself using a pressure washer just once, or maybe twice each year, then you may be in a position where it’s more cost effective to rent than it would be to buy. If you’re a person who’d rather hire someone else to bring their own water pressure and do the work themselves, then it may not make sense to buy your own power washer. However, there are many people who could save a significant amount in the long run if they bought a power washer.

If you clean your home, appliances, etc. several times per year

Do you find that you wash the exterior of your home at least once or twice a year? Do you also wash your appliances regularly? Then ask yourself, would you wash these things more often if you had easier access to a water pressure washer? If you could simply open your garage and have one waiting, rather than renting one in advance, would your home and property be cleaner? If you have said yes to any of these questions then it may be time to invest in a power washer. Hydro Tek can help.

Do the math to decide if it makes sense to buy

When you’re deciding if you should buy or rent, make sure that you’re comparing like things to like things. For example, you don’t want to compare the cost of renting a cold pressure washer to the cost of buying a hot pressure washer. Make sure that the things you’re comparing are the same thing.

Once you have an idea of the type of pressure washer that’s likely to work best for you, think about the hourly cost of renting one versus the total cost of buying one. Depending on your location, it will likely cost somewhere between $50 and $150 to rent a pressure washer for the day. On the other hand, buying one will start at around $300 and can go up considerably depending on what you’re looking for. As a result, it could potentially be more affordable to buy a pressure washer than it would to rent one twice.

    Simply by heating up the water, a hot water pressure washer delivers dramatically improved cleaning power compared to a cold water machine. Hot water pressure washers are especially useful for cleaning sticky, greasy, or oily surfaces, because they will loosen the dirt much faster without the large amounts of soap, detergent, or other cleaning chemicals that must be used with a cold water system.

Quality & Innovation Since 1985

Hydro Tek

From simple beginnings in 1985, Hydro Tek has grown to become the most trusted name in the pressure washer manufacturing industry.

How did we do it? By continually focusing on quality and reliability as the key to customer satisfaction, and by incorporating the latest technologies into our design and manufacturing processes.

By 1991, we were using computer-aided drafting systems to refine our product designs and improve efficiency. In 1997, we brought the power of computers to the shop floor by incorporating laser-cutting and other CNC manufacturing machinery, and in 2001 we began focusing on improving efficiency through the latest manufacturing techniques. The end result has been superior products delivered at a superior value to our customers. Through the next decade, we look forward to fulfilling our vision of making our products the "obvious choice" for all your industrial and commercial cleaning needs.
