    Electric Pressure Washer

    I am looking at purchasing an electric pressure washer. I am looking to pay between $100-$150 for it. What would you guys recommend? Links to the products would be great. Thanks

    I got the Powerwasher brand from Home Depot. It's 1700 psi and if you're thinking of getting a foam cannon it comes with the Bosch fitting.

    Re: Electric Pressure Washer

    From what I have seen from many posts and my experience with one unit, these electric pressure washers are usually problematic. They just do not last and not very rugged (leaks, etc).

    If I was going to get a new one, I would spend $300+ and then have something that will likely last. If you have just one major failure (pump, hose, internal fitting) not covered or beyond warranty and you repair it, the repair can almost cost a significant part of the original outlay.

    I have a 1600 psi unit from HD. I've had it for at least 4 years and never had a problem with it. I think it was just over $100.

    Just get the one from costco. Electric PWs will eventually fail. It's mechanical so starts degrading the moment you pull it out of the box. Some last longer than others, but with Costco, you have lifetime return policy and can just get their latest new PW. Currently using their Snap-on 1700PSI one that has lasted me about 2 years with zero issues, but if it does act up, I have the peace of mind knowing I can just take it in and get a new one.

    I use the SunJoe SPX 3000. My first electric unit, and I'm pretty impressed. The power is adequate, and seems to be of good construction.

    yeah most of them don't get good reviews because you never know how long they will last. use them today they work fine, try them out tomorrow and they might not. I recently bought a used AR Blue Clean model 112 on the Bay, have used it maybe 5 times and it works REALLY well for the $60 I paid ($110 retail).

    Re: Electric Pressure Washer

    I have had this one for a year with no issues and it works great Amazon.com : AR Blue Clean AR383 1, 900 PSI 1.5 GPM 14 Amp Electric Pressure Washer with Hose Reel : Patio, Lawn & Garden .

    They make a foam cannon specifically for it that works great as well if your looking for that http://www.amazon.com/AR-Blue-Clean-...ywords=Ar+foam , mine I did get direct from AR though so can't say 100% if that is the same one.
    It's all in the details
