What's a good, small, power washer to buy for the home?

I'd like one that's not horribly expensive (less than $100 dollars) but cleans well. I'd like to use it to wash my car and sidewalks mostly. Thanks! :DWhat's a good, small, power washer to buy for the home?
For 100 dollars or less you will need to look at the electric pressure washers.





Do not store the electric machines in an outside building during the winter. I did not know that the water does not drain fully from these machines. The water froze inside and ruined it.





You want to consider two things when you buy a pressure washer. The gallons per minute (gpm) and the pressure per square inch (psi).





The GPM is the amount of water flowing. The higher number this is, the quicker you will get the job finished.





The PSI is the blasting force of the water. If this is variable/adjustable the pressure washer will be more versatile and can be used for more things. Machines with lower pressure will not effectively work to remove stuborn dirt such as some you may have on concrete. Machines with very high pressure can remove paint, though, and can also splinter wood.

My parents went washer-shopping last year and they wanted something small and energy-efficient. They went to a lot of different places, and were always told the same thing. It basically didn't matter what brand they chose, because they were all quite similar in terms of customer service and quality. However, they were given a good tip: the side-loading washers and dryers were a teeny bit more expensive, but end up using WAY less energy and water in the end. That's what they chose, and they've been very happy with their choice for the past year.
