After recently doing so many huge and dirty vehicles, I was on the lookout for a nice gas pressure washer. The Karcher is fine but I need more punch for cleaning wells and tire....along with bodly. I was able to pick this up at an estate auction. I can't say what I paid but it was A LOT less that what is was new, which it virtually was.

I have the same brand ,it's 13 horse but I have in my 6-8 mobile traler. You won't be diappointed they are great ,just rebmber to chage the oil and keep the filter clean.And just before anyone chimes in my has a requlator vaule that I can ajust the perssure. To do engines or wheel wells it's a killer. Congrats on the new toy Enjoy!!!

Yeah this one has a regulator for adjusting the pressure. Love it! I now have the best of both worlds!

It's very efficient too. Only used one tank of gas for 13 washes. Lots were huge too!

Hold 1.5 gallons.

13 WPG, not bad haha
i prefer the electric ones generally but i can see why youd need this beast for the dirty cars.. plus theyre "more portable" i think

I've use an electric Karcher for 11 months now. I'm just doing more and more vehicles in a day that need to be cleaned faster. I've also got a few clients that are wanting me to do their driveways and pool areas. Requests have been made for me to do some home's sidings as well. Easy for this machine...........and easy money. I've already got a deal for a 100ft. driveway and pool area as well as his patio furniture. It will take me about 2 days to do it right. The price? 1000.00. Not bad?.......I've never done this before!

Justin, you're killing me. I love that you're willing to take anything on. I do the same thing; how hard can it be and how badly can you screw something up? Nice cash in hand too. Can't wait to meet you at DF.

Can't wait to me you too!

Others as well!

Justin, what model Karcher did you have?

I'm leaning towards the 1400 PSI model, the smaller one, which should be perfect for the trunk area of a Vibe. I don't think another $50 is worth it for the 1500PSI.
