Light Use
For light use you would choose a belt free power washer. Belt free power washers are less expensive and have become much more popular in the last few years because of their lower price. They come either with a Gasoline Engine or an Electric Motor.
What’s considered light use?
- If you power wash occasionally, 3-5 hours a week.
- If you are simply cleaning dirt and debris
Heavy Use
For Heavy Use you would choose the Belt Drive Pressure Washer. The water pump is bolted to the frame and connected to the engine or motor with drive belts, and typically the pressure washer pump turns significantly slower than the engine. You will invest more in a Belt Drive Power Washer, but it will be more reliable and cost less to repair.
