Carlos Mendez

Carlos Mendez is the Pressure Washer Tester at YardToolLab. Before turning his attention to reviews, he spent a decade running a residential pressure washing business, where he learned firsthand which machines could handle a full day of deck stripping and which would fail halfway through a driveway. That real world experience led him to test over 60 washers, from consumer electric units to commercial gas rigs. Today, he focuses on surface cleaners, nozzles, and the practical details that matter for siding and deck cleaning. Readers can trust his assessments because they come from years of earning a living with the tools, not from a sterile lab. He does not chase specs. He chases results.
