So long as it was under your membership they should be able to pull up the purchase in their system without receipt. I've done it more than once.

Which low gpm electric PWs do you know of in the commercial market which are sold with a warrenty like costco provides?
Define low GPM for me. I'm not sure what you guys are used to using. For the applications I'm familiar with, anything less than 8GPM is low...but seems like it might be a bit excessive for cars. Help me understand.
If you're ok with taking something back once a year and replacing it, then so be it. I'd rather shell out a bit of money and have it run for 5-7 years daily before it crapping out.

Re: Which pressure washer?
1.3-1.6 GPM is low GPM. With electric pressure washers I see them as low cost replacable items that will break. It's better to be able to return something for free replacement 5 times in 5 years than to pay more have it break in 5 years and not be able to return it for replacement. If it were something like an extractor where the lower end stuff doesn't do what I want or I needed to blast driveways and decks I'd present a different view.

I highly recommend the Nothern Tool Honda GC160 with the comet bxd2672 pump over the electric costco brand because it has more pressure, runs on gas, and Northern's Warranty is as good as anyones.

Re: Which pressure washer?
Just purchased a generic one wash 6413 from lowes 2100-3100 adjustable psi @ 2.8 gpm. It has great reviews. Looking forward to getting it in the mail this week.

Re: Which pressure washer?
Just to chime in on this:
I have an AR electric and a Honda/Cat gas. Love both of them in the right application. For instance, I wash out of my carport so as long as the car goes in carport it gets the AR. I tried to add a 50' 12guage extension cord to increase my reach but it wasn't having it.
The Honda can do anything around the house, it will make the ATV look like it's never seen dirt/mud and my Pops has a class A motorhome so I use the Honda on that too. I use a foam cannon so running the gas without water cooling the pump isn't an issue. It only idles for about 30 seconds while I change tips out.

No, I get it. What kind of cheddar are you talking about for these low-flow machines, and what sort of psi? Do you use the normal wand that comes with it, or are there tips designed for this particular application?

I have a Kranzle and I'm happy with it.

Re: Which pressure washer?
I'm getting the karcher g3050 which has 3000 psi. Will this damage the paint?
