    Almost all cheap (under $600.00) pressure washers will only last a short period of time before starting to leak. So I suggest you buy whatever is available at Costco. The reason? They give you a lifetime warranty. Save the box, sales slip, and all paperwork so when it fails (and it will) you return it and immediately buy another one. I am on my third one. First two were Karcher, the other a Snap On (probably made by Karcher). Snap On is still working, but it's only been 8 months.

    I would definitely 2nd this., especially if you go electric.

    If you go gas, make sure it has a kohler engine. Some of the higher end husky branded ones at HD are pretty good.

    From the research I have done, there are several models selling at under $200 that have a decent motor (Briggs and Straton and Karcher K5 series) that cross the bridge from light duty to decent duty. You do pay more for robustness in hoses, connections, etc.

    I have two Karcher models and both have performed well for me.

    I like the Karcher electrics. They are very versatile and you can get a foamer attachment that's functional and inexpensive.
