If it is largely indoor cleaning, you can opt for an electric powered one and if the cleaning requires to be done mostly outside where there is no access to power point, it is better to go for a gas or a diesel powered one. There is also the hydraulic powered pressure washer but that is mostly used for industrial and commercial purposes and for pressure cleaning agricultural equipments.
