Electric pressure washer ?

[lethalxls1]

I am considering buying an electric pressure washer for washing my car mainly and a few other around the house things. Can anyone reccomend a good one? I was thinking something like this:McCulloch 1600 PSI Electric Pressure Washer (FH160G) @ Pressure Washers Direct.com - Your Online Power Washer Superstore

My local Wal* Mart has this one for $99.00. Will that be powerful enough? Do I need to spend a little more for a decent one? I just wanted some input from anyone who has an electric pressure washer or has had experience with one. Thanks in advance.

If you are looking for a pressure washer ,make sure is the type that the gun can be screwed on to the hose(gun and hose can be separated),and alsothat goes for the spray nozzle, ( not the bayonet type),the reason for what I just said is when later on you decide to add an accessory to the gun like an extension ,a foam cannon etc.you will be able to.
A lot of people get excited when they see such low price on a pressure washer but as you know you get what you pay for.

My father in law has a KARCHER its awesome and it was cheap too.

I highly suggest being careful ....getting water forced into certain areas (like headlamps) could be quite upsetting. Low pressure is best !

I just want something that will blast the dust off the car without having to hand wash after polishing. My regular hose just wont do it.

I've seen the Karcher Pressure Washers on sale at various stores fairly cheap. Big Lots, Walmarts, K Marts,etc. I personally do not like electric power washers. Having been a welder, the though of water and electric don't mix for me. mpo

^ yeah I have thought about that too-electricity and water. I dunno ..........

I would avoid the Karchers. They last about a year plus 1 day... Just long
enough to go out of warranty.

what pressure washer are you guys using?

I personally use a Karcher with the variable pressure lance and it's a winner for me because you can use moderate pressure to wash your car and yet use the full pressure to wash other things like floor tiles, etc.
