Briggs & Stratton Elite 3000 Petrol Pressure Washer

  

Maximum pressure: approximately 207 bar (? 3,000 PSI) according to UK listings.

Shetland's Garden Tool Box. Flow rate: listed as 636 litres per hour in one UK spec sheet. It is petrol-driven (so no need for mains power cable) - providing mobility and higher power than many electric models.

Typically comes with a selection of quick-connect spray nozzles (for example various fan angles and a detergent/soap tip) for different cleaning tasks. Built with a solid frame and likely large wheels - aimed at heavier-duty domestic / semi-professional cleaning rather than light garden use. What It's Good For.

Heavy outdoor cleaning: driveways, patios, large garden areas, external walls, vehicles, etc. The high pressure and flow rate mean it can tackle tougher grime than a standard electric pressure washer. Places where a mains power supply might be inconvenient (because of the petrol engine) or where you want more'punch' in the cleaning stream. Users who care about durability and build quality: the Briggs & Stratton name and the spec suggest a more robust machine. Things to Consider / Potential Downsides. Price / availability: The UK listing for the Elite 3000 says "Product discontinued". So it might be harder to find new, or you may be looking at used/stock-clearance models. Noise, fumes, and maintenance: Petrol engines are noisier and produce exhaust/fumes. They also require regular maintenance oil changes, petrol, air filter, etc. Mobility: While mobile (no cord), petrol machines are often heavier and bulkier than electric ones.

Maneuvering, storage and transport should be considered. Hose length, accessories and nozzles: Even though it comes with a good set, you may want to check hose length and accessories depending on your yard/yard size.

Matching the right spray angle/nozzle to the job: With high pressure you can damage delicate surfaces if you use too narrow a spray angle too close. So you'll want to use appropriate nozzle (wider fan, lower angle) for sensitive surfaces.

If you're looking for a powerful, petrol-driven pressure washer that can handle heavy outdoor cleaning jobs and you don't mind paying for build quality and maintenance, the Briggs & Stratton Elite 3000 looks like a strong choice. However, because it may be discontinued (or harder to find), you might want to check how easily you can get spare parts, service support, and compare against newer models. If you like, I can check current availability in the UK (for used or new stock), typical pricing, and comparable alternatives (especially newer models) for you.
