The Bauer
23142E-B is part of the
Pressure Washers test program at
Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, Pressure Washers
models like the 23142E-B are rated on multiple criteria, such as those
listed below.
Cleaning:
A high score means the pressure washer cleans quickly and works well on a variety of surfaces. A top-scoring model handles everything from light tasks to deep cleaning with multiple spray nozzles.
Noise:
A high score means quieter operation. This score is a combination of measurements taken both close to the machine and at the end of the hose's reach. We strongly recommend hearing protection when working close to a pressure washer, especially gas-powered models that tend to be significantly louder than electric and battery-powered models.
Ease of use:
FINAL:
A high score means the pressure washer is easy to operate, move, and store. A top-scoring model typically offers quick connections for hoses, hose storage, and useful safety features like trigger lock-outs and features that help prevent damage from overheating.
