Ron, It all comes down to how much do you want to spend? The pressure washer ? has been asked many times here. As for the green on a house or fence, a pressure washer won't kill the mold, bleach and a brush will. Just leave the bleach, don't really need a pressure washer.
As for cleaning off a roof, unless it's a metal roof, I wouldn't use a pressure washer for fear of damaging the shingles.
I don't own an electric, lack of pressure.
I have a 2500 psi 6.5 hp horizontal shaft and a 4000 13 hp honda. I'm not a fan of electric or vertical shaft engines with a pump on the bottom.
4000 psi won't remove all the old grease and oil from a tractor. I tried that. 4000 psi could and will damage gaskets and water will find it's way in places you don't want.
I think it wrong to clean a mower deck with water. Water and bearings don't mix. I use a leaf blower to clean off my mower deck.
So how old are you? My 6.5 hp is easy to start while I wish my 13 hp had electric start. Been thinking of changing the flywheel and adding a starter.
I've had to replace the pump on the 6.5 hp. So far the 13 hp is still working.
Go on craigslist and look to see how many people are trying to sell a pressure washer with a bad pump. That may give you a clue what not to buy. The price of most replacement pumps are close to what a new cheapie washer will cost.
You can never have too much pressure, because you can dial back the pressure on must pumps. My advice is go as big as your wallet can aford, electric start and check out what a replacement pump will cost. Sooner or later you will be needing a new pump. George
