| Pressure washer rental
Looking to rent a pressure washer to clean my patio. What's a decent price to pay and does anyone have recommendations from where to rent it?

you should look into buying one, I'm going to pick one up shortly since I need it bad since I have to do the deck around my pool.

2.5- 3 gallon per minute.
search pressure washer rental in a google app, should give you a list of stores that have that for rent.
50$ / 4 hours is a good deal.

If you have a condo/apartment sized patio, then it may be worth your while to buy an electric pressure washer. I bought an electric Powerplay 1800psi/1.4GPM with an AR axial pump for $169 from Costco.ca 2 weeks ago.
If you have a house, then might as well rent a powerful gas one so you can clean the rest of your property while you're at it.

I bought this pressure washer last week from Canadian tire Diamond 2800 PSI Gas Pressure Washer | Canadian Tire
I used it for 6hrs on the first day washing my driveway, gutters and my trucks.
its enough pressure to get all the dirt/grime/moss off my driveway and not powerful enough to kill your elbows and your wrist after using it for a long time.
I used to have a commercial grade power washer and my arms would be dead after a full day of using it

Home Depot rents out $2000 Honda ones for $50/4 hours I beleive it was.
The one I rented was essentially brand new and started first pull. For everyday grime etc you can get away with the electric ones etc. but for doing hella dirty sidewalks, siding, fencing, etc. I'd probably rent a good one, at least for the initial clean

I bought a Honda power washer I think it's 4.x hp. It's great for cleaning the patio, be careful which nossel you're using when cleaning vehicles. I was spraying bugs off my wife's car and removed some paint, quick way to piss your SO off. It could have been worse, could have been my vehicle.

Home Depot for renting, they give you a close to brand new machine to use, and differnt nozzles.
Pay more for the heavier duty machine, finish your job in less time.
Side note, anyone know a good small engine mechanic to repair a pressure washer? Taking to Stihl they charge insane hourly wage to diagnose then repair. It'll almost be smarter to buy a new machine.
