walmart pressure washer

[SoFlo1]

Im looking to get a mobile pressure washer to put in the trailer. But I wanted to get some feedback first.

How and when should a pressure washer be used? How much psi should be safe to use?

And will a walmart one work just fine? If im on a budget and at least will be warranted.

I would try to get a pressed washer for detailing with a tank.. Gas powered ones from lows or Home Depot will work but burn the pump out quick... And one from Walmart needs to be fed so I don't think it will work!!!!

Harber Freight has an electric pressure washer for $93. Its like 1500 PSI.

Any thoughts?

I bought mine for my mobile business at Lowes and have had zero problems. I've got a 2700 Psi Troy Bilt with a Briggs motor and it has been phenomenal. I use a 125 gallon static tank and it has no issues handling the water supply. Proper maintenance is key for any longevity.

Idk if I should get a gas one or just electric. I heard that a lot of homeowners get annoyed by the noise from the pressure washers?

And wouldn't 1500 PSI be enough?

1500psi would be plenty. Would also work well with a foam gun.

Do you NEED a tank when using it?

This is the one I am talking about..

Any pressure washer will work.
Some are cheap and some are very expensive.
I've use a lot of different ones.
They all work, they all spray water.
Some last longer then others.
Buy what you can afford.

The only reason for a tank is to bring water to the job site.

Ohh alright. Most home owners should have a water hook up, but I would like to have a tank for a spare.

What kind of tanks do I need to look up? Are they called anything in particular?

I am picking up a 250 gallon tank tomorrow for $50!

The only electric pressure washer I know Walmart sells is the Karcher K 2.360. That's the one I use, and it doesn't need to "be fed" per Karcher. They say the pump is strong enough to suck water from a source.

However, you will want to order the suction attachment from Karcher, because people have reported a cut garden hose just collapses.

I've had mine for almost 2 years and it still works flawlessly.

If I get the 250 gallon tank, I dont have to fill it all the way up then. So it doesnt way too much.

Walmart has a Stanley pressure washer that I keep seeing. It's around $120 and even has a nice hose reel. Can't remember the specs though..

I went and purchased the one for $90 at Harbor Freight. With a $20 extended warranty.

I got a 250 gallon tank for $50. I know its big but would it work fine if I just fill it up to 100 gallons?
