Factors considered for various devices
The flow rate of water; depending on the intended use, one would consider using either domestic or professional one. This factor would also depend on the time taken to clean the vehicle. The ability of a device to deliver water in a second depend on whether it is high pressure device or low. The high pressure helps to save on time.
The size of engine or power; this is base on the number of watts of a device. High watts would generate a lot of power to run the device. High watts also ensure effectiveness of the device while performing the work. When there is high power, higher pressure is generated that would in turn saves on the time of doing the work.
Pressure; high pressure result into water being pumped at a high speed through the nozzles. The high pressure also enhances cleaning of hidden parts of a vehicle. Sometimes the pressure at which water is ejectected may depend on the size of the nozzles and hose pipe. Narrow hose pipe would facilitate high pressure.
Hose length; it determines how far one could move away from the point of attachment. Long length would facilitate easy cleaning and movement as it reduces constant movement of the device. Therefore, it would be important to consider long length hose than short one.
Portability; this is the ease of movement from one point to the other with the device. Some of the devices that are heavy in weight are equipped with wheels to allow movement. Those that may not have wheels are considered to be light in weight to ease movement from one place to the other. For the sake of tidiness, wheels often prevent dirt from getting into contact with the device.
