Pressure Washer: My Lucky Day!

Today, I bought this:

For: $100....

It was a rainy and cold day and I didn't have anything pressing to do, not even a detail. I decided to do a little shopping. I stopped at Harbor Freight, and just looking around I saw this Karcher Pressure washer. I looked at the price tag and it said $119. I knew this wasn't correct and went on to shopping around. I came back to the pressure washer and the manager was standing close by. I asked him if they did indeed stock this item or was this just a display. He said it was for a new one. I asked if the price was correct and he said yes immediately. So, I said I wanted one. That's when he realized that it had a wrong tag on it. He sent someone to get it. I waited and waited for about 20 minutes, still no pressure washer. I saw the manager again and asked what the progress was on getting the pressure washer for me. He said then that was mismarked and could not sell it for that price. I said wrong!!! It's priced that way and you have to sell it for the price marked. He reluctantly agreed, went and pulled the item from the stock room and took it to the checkouts. He told the cahier to use the tag he brought up with him. Even better, to my suprize, when the cashier put the item in the computer, it came up for $100. I bought the extended warranty for 2 years for only $20. Then I was on my way home with a new pressure washer.
This is listed on the internet from $325 to $512 + freight!
What a lucky deal. I was just at the right place at the right time!
Here's a better pic of it.

Clean looking unit. That looks like a very long hose that comes with it. Do you know what HF was asking after they caught their mistake? May still be a good deal. Oh, and what's the pressure rating? Thanks.

I've heard that's a reallllyyy nice PW. I have the 1400 PSI electric model and no complaints yet.

Have you tried it yet? If so, how loud is it?
