hot/steam pressure washer

are those Therma Kleen good for everyday use and abused? I was looking for those karcher unit but saw on the pressuredirect site that the motor is not intended for long use coz the pump might burn out.

Maybe a durable yet economical pressure washer will do.

I have one at work that we don't use anymore, I think I'll bring it home to use on the really filthy trucks I get at times, the hot water would make it much easier to break up dirt that's been on the paint for a year, yes I get those, big money but hard work but wow,the end results always makes my customers jaw drop

Yes, the Therma Kleen is an industrial unit. For ~$7000 (new) it darned well better be!

so what would you recommend to stand daily use but not pro/industrial use. maybe a bit on the middle of both. $7K for a new unit is costly

I still suggest to carefully shop used. If, however, only new will due, take a look at Northern Tool. I used to have their big two gun trailer and it was filled with quality components. Some of their smaller units will likely have the same features.
