Uses for a pressure washer include removing grime from outdoor furniture and lawn equipment, stripping paint from the side of a house before re-painting, and cleaning off a garage floor, sidewalk or drive. When you’re shopping for pressure washers, each is rated with two numbers that tell you how powerful the washer is. Pounds per Square Inch (PSI) refers to water pressure at output, and Gallons Per Minute (GPM) refers to water flow delivered to the spray gun. The higher these numbers, the faster you’ll be able to clean.
Homeowner
Built for serious do-it-yourselfers, the Vortexx homeowner power washers are lightweight for easy storage, yet tough enough to handle projects like cleaning out the garage or washing the siding. The aluminum parts, Honda engine, and RMV AR series pump are made of high-quality materials that will last for years without rusting
The VX10101D pressure washer is rated at 2500 PSI and 2 GPM. It features a GC160 Honda engine and a 25-foot hose. The Homeowner+ model is more powerful, with a GC190 engine, and is rated at 2500 PSI and 2.5 GPM. The hose on this model is 30 feet long.
Prosumer
The prosumer models are a group of pressure washers that fall mid-way between the homeowner and professional models. They are designed for those who want a serious tool that can handle tough clean-up jobs, but don’t need commercial-grade equipment.
The VX20303D pressure washer is powered by a GX200 Honda engine. The hose is 30 feet long. This model is rated at 2700 PSI and 2.5 GPM. The Prosumer+ model uses the same engine, and is crafted from solid, aircraft grade 5052 aluminum that makes it lightweight and rust-free. This model is rated at 2750 PSI and 3.0 GPM, and features a 50-foot hose.
Professional
The most powerful washers Vortexx offers are designed for quick and powerful cleaning, as well as easy-maintenance. The Professional 3000, model number VX20305D, has cut-outs in the aluminum frame that make servicing easy, as well as features built into the pump that make it longer lasting and easier to repair if something does go wrong. It is powered by a Honda GX200 engine, and is rated at 2950 PSI and 3.0 GPM. The hose is 50 feet long. The Professional 4000, model number VX30405D, has the same features but is built with more cleaning power. It is powered by a Honda GX300 engine, and is rated at 4000 PSI and 4.0 GPM.
Parts and Accessories
Several attachments are available, including different nozzles and a gutter cleaner. Different nozzles affect the way the washer cleans, so having several types gives you more versatility. Vortexx also offers replacement parts and repair kits for when your pressure washer needs serviced, though the sturdy design means these washers can last for many years with only routine maintenance. If a problem ever does arise with your Vortexx washer, remember you can count on Richardson Saw & Lawnmower to always service what we sell.
