Prediction: 2026 will be the first year battery powered pressure washer sales beat corded electric sales.
To get there we’ll need to double current best battery power density and cut the cost by 50%.
This isn’t insane, it’s inevitable.
This rapid battery improvement by 2026 will allow for a cordless pressure washer that has 2-3 hours run-time before needing charge, 10-20% more cleaning power than today’s corded electric options and costs in the under $300 range – around the same price as the more expensive corded electric Karcher’s on the market today.
Here’s how it’s possible:
Here’s the deal:
It’s possible you pressure wash barefoot your entire life without problems.
But:
Every time you do, you run the risk of losing your toe, foot or even your leg up to the knee.
Yes, these are rare injuries… But they aren’t unheard of. A high pressure injection injury happened on my job site a few years ago and the guy lost all motor function in his right thumb for 6 months.
The best waterproof boots for pressure washing will not only protect you from these injection injuries but also from slipping, getting wet socks (and thus cold feet and blisters) and from flying debris like rocks.
And the best thing about owning the best pair of waterproof boots is they can also be used:
Let’s jump right in and talk about the importance of protective footwear when pressure washing (even if it’s just around your house).
In July we shared an image of a disassembled electric pressure washer with its parts organized neatly.
It got 18,057 views in 1 day after making it to the top of the r/knolling forum on reddit.com.
People loved it and were asking for more…
…Since posting the article 4 weeks ago we received 52 emails asking for a gas pressure washer teardown.
So of course we’ll deliver that for you today – you’ll see the completed teardown below.
Take a look:
Did you love taking things apart as a kid?
Yeah? (I loved it, too)
When did you last take a machine apart just because you could?
Two years ago? Not since you were a kid? Well, we got you covered…

Yesterday our analytics ticked over to 1,002,683 users.
The amount of water in Lake Baikal – the world’s deepest and most voluminous lake – is more than all 5 North American Great Lakes combined + a second Lake Erie + a Crater Lake.
Officially, Lake Baikal, in Southern Siberia, has 23,013 cubic kilometers of water. That’s 20% of Planet Earth’s surface freshwater.
But volume is much harder to think about than distance. So here’s 21 thought experiments to try and help you visualize how much friggin’ water it has.
Let’s start:
Turn one of our tool brand behemoth graphics into a poster for your tool shop, workshop or garage to show your friends what you know.
The two types of motors to power electric pressure washers are induction and universal motors.
You will see induction motors in more expensive commercial-duty pressure washers and universal motors in light and medium-duty residential grade machines.
The gist of the reason for this is induction motors are much larger/heavier and more expensive for the power it provides compared to universal motors. However, they are also more rugged, quieter and will have a longer lifespan.
In this guide you will learn the pros and cons of induction vs universal motors in pressure washers and we’ll show you what an induction and universal motor looks like by taking a look inside my Lavor Eagle and AR Blue Clean electric pressure cleaners.
