Is the Westinghouse WPX3200 Gas Pressure Washer worth it?
Yes — the best gas pressure washer for most homes.
Its 212 cc engine and maintenance-free pump give 3,200 psi at 2.5 gallons a minute, enough to strip caked mud, mould and mildew from driveways, brick and siding quickly, with no outlet needed. It starts easily on the pull cord, has a soap tank, five quick-connect nozzles and a 25 ft hose. Like any gas washer it's loud, needs fuel and oil, and is strong enough to damage soft wood if you aren't careful.

How we reached this verdict
Bob Vila names it the best medium-duty pick in both its pressure washer and gas pressure washer guides: it removed caked mud, mould and mildew from a driveway, brick and siding, started on the first pull and primed itself. Its only marks against are the noise and enough pressure to damage softer surfaces.
We compared independent expert reviews with the manufacturer's specifications, then checked it's sold at a major retailer where you live. We don't test products ourselves.
