I read that your best to get one with a petrol engine.
The question is what does he want to use it for, as if it is to just wash the car, those battery ones seem a good idea as your not messing about.
The problem I found with the ones that you plug in the mains is first you have to mess about plugging the hosepipe in, then dragging everything outside. It it a right pain.
If your dad does not have an outdoor tap, I would suggest adding one for him, as it will save so much bother (In the UK the kits are only £10 and easy to install).
The advantage of the battery ones is you can fill a bucket with water rather than have to bother plugging them into the mains.
