Direct Drive pumps spin fast and run at a higher RPM than a belt drive, with this Direct Drives are not able to pull water, this is why Belt Driven Pressure Washers are able to be gravity fed from a tank.

This all depends on your application.  For hard to remove dirt, PSI is more important.  Large quantities of dirt, GPM is more important on a washer.

If given the option, always lean towards more GPM over PSI.  When washing you can always change your nozzle to be able to move closer to what’s being cleaned to increase your pressure, there is no way to increase water flow.  Just be careful, with having more PSI there is a greater chance of damage to what you're cleaning.

Effective cleaning, pressure washer must provide a stripping action to scrub/remove off the dirt and flow to remove the dirt away.  GPM can be thought of as a rinsing power to carry the dirt away, with PSI as the removing.

Choosing between gas and electric power depends completely on the consumer, there are pros and cons to both.

Electric: is safe to use in a shop or barn, as you won’t have any harmful fumes.  Electric motors are usually quieter and require less maintenance.  With the electric motor you don’t need to have gas on hand.

Gas: You have a couple of different choices, when selecting an Engine.  Gas engines don’t require you to drag an electrical cord around, and have more portability.

This all depends on your application.  A couple of major factors in hot or cold washers.  Cold water pressure washers are ideal for removing dirt from most surfaces.  Using most accessories like roto nozzles or rotating brushes, work well with cold water pressure washers to increase the cleaning power and decrease your cleaning time.

If you are cleaning surfaces that have a grease or oil on them, hot water is the way to go.  It’s just like trying to wash your greasy hands with cold water, in which the same applies to pressure washing.

Washing with cold water equipment more than a few hours a week, think of the labor savings you would have by switching to a hot water system.
