The highest-rated gas and electric models to blast away dirt on your home, patio, sidewalk and more.

Lourdes Avila Uribe is a senior staff writer at HuffPost covering shopping trends, lifestyle and new products.

Gone are the days of having to rent monstrously large, dangerous machines or hiring off-duty college kids to spray the outside of your home. Below, we’ve rounded up the six most popular and highest-rated power washers at Amazon. Use them to clean everything from your RV, fences, patio, sidewalk, the exterior of your house and beyond.

It’s definitely an investment and will require you to have available storage space, but you’ll get so much use out of it over the coming years that it’ll be worth every penny.

A versatile, under-$200 washer that's compatible with your garden hose

This popular Sun Joe power washer has a 1,800-watt motor that can be put to work on all manner of tough jobs. It has five quick-connect spray tips and two removable detergent tanks that can carry and store different types of cleaning products. This also has a garden hose adapter, a 20-foot-long hose and weighs less than 25 pounds. 

Promising review: "Reliable and dependable. Bought it a year ago to clean several things on our new house. We first cleaned the deck with no issues. Dust it out this spring to clean the accumulating musk on the north side of the house and viola! It worked so well that I ended up pressure cleaning the entire house. Results? It looks like if I just painted! This is a reliable and dependable piece of equipment. Is it "professional" grade 4000 or 6000 PSI? No, but it doesn't matter. If you are a home owner and want to save thousands in cleaning this will do it! Also, there is nothing more satisfying than pressure cleaning. Recommended!" —Alex

A gas-powered option with some of the best reviews on Amazon

Among the highest-rated of our options, this popular pressure washer is gas-powered. It features a 25-foot-long flexible, abrasion-resistant hose, five quick-connect nozzles, a strong and sturdy stainless steel construction and a powerful pump that emits 2.6 gallons of water (with or without soap) per minute. Several reviewers consider this power washer among the best of the best. 

Promising review: "The unit was well packaged, easy to assemble and quick to start. More power than I anticipated. Components and design thoughtful...easy access to attach water supply and power out hose line. This machine lives up to its reputation as a top consumer product in its category. I expect it to hold up and perform long term so long as I service it regularly, store it properly and keep all the nuts and fasteners checked and and tight as all power washers experience vibration in use. For the price and power, it is best in class" —Jerry E Gorde

This compact pressure washer doesn’t use oil or give out any emissions. Outputting 1.1 gallons per minute with 2,000 pounds of pressure per square inch, it is incredibly powerful for a smaller machine and is perfect for small to medium projects and residential settings. It has a 35-foot power cord and a 20-foot, high-pressure hose. The washer comes with three nozzles, including one for high-pressure medium-angle spraying and one for soap application. While you can buy extra nozzles, many reviews note that it's unnecessary.

Promising review: “This has got to [be] an Amazon best kept secret. After a bad experience with a pressure washer with outstanding specifications and upon arrival discovering it had proprietary hose connections preventing the use of a aftermarket hose, I settled on this bad boy. I was pleasantly surprised. It has industry standard M22 connections on the outlet and wand and the materials are over 95% metal. Pressure and GPM are ideal for my intended purpose of car care and light duty pressure washing around the house and yard. I would recommend this unit to anyone looking for a light duty well built pressure washer.” —lewisempire

A lightweight electric model that's easy to set up

This relatively lightweight (under 21 pounds) powerwasher from Kärcher operates at 1,700 PSI, so you know it's working with a powerful (and efficient) motor. It includes a quick-connecting steel wand with three different spray nozzles for all your tough jobs and hard-to-reach spots. The 20-foot high-pressure hose is kink-resistant and can be stored in its included removable storage container. The power washer also includes a removable detergent tank.

Promising review: "I am very pleased with my purchase of the Karcher K2300PS. An excellent package in a compact size. Has good storage for nozzles and other items right on the unit, very handy. It is so much quieter than my previous gas powered pressure washer. It was easy to set up, no tools required. Had occasion to call Karcher Support and was very impressed with customer support response. It works very well and I am very pleased with the results." —JEM

A small-space cleaner that's roughly the size of a robot vacuum and comes with an extra-long cord

If you're short on space, this compact machine just might fit the bill without sacrificing any pressure and power, thanks to 1,700 PSI. It comes with a soap applicator bottle for those times you want to use detergent as you clean, an onboard nozzle, a pressure washer hose and cord. This pressure washer also includes a wand storage compartment to help keep all the bits and pieces nice and organized. It has a 35-foot power cord so you can plug it into far-away outlets and includes two different detachable nozzles.

Promising review: "This little electric pressure washer is small and simple to handle. It is easy to move around as you clean. It has clear settings for a powerful clean. I used it to clean my driveway, my walkways, front porch, patio and sidewalks. The Craftsman electric pressure washer is compact and lightweight. I like that it is easy to store and simple to use. I highly recommend this pressure washer. Thank you." —Chris 

The ideal power washer for beginners who don't have experience with complicated devices.

Featuring a 20-foot-long pressure hose, a 25-foot power cord and the ability to be used horizontally or vertically, this might be the most versatile pressure washer of the bunch. It has a detergent applicator and two nozzle tips so you can harness the power of 1,600 PSI to blow grime off your home and outdoor items. Reviewers note that it's a great starter power washer for anyone who hasn't had experience with one before.

Promising review: "Great entry unit for anyone who wants something to help clean a deck/siding/outdoor furniture etc. and need more power than their hose can provide. Not likely to remove paint or chip anything by accident (not impossible though) but not powerful enough to remove tougher stains or issues like rust on deck boards etc. It is electric so you will also need to keep aware of the cord and where it is plugged in as you spray. The unit is not on wheels but is light enough to pick up and move about as needed. If you need something to help with quick and efficient cleaning this is an excellent option. If you are looking to remove tougher grease/stains/crevices consider going for a more powerful option (2k+ PSI and 2+ GPM)." —JohnoOfWar
