Pressure Washers

[KBScobravert]

I am getting my wife one for Christmas. Anyone have a brand or model that they like? Has to be electric, because holding true to it being HERS, it has to be easy to use.

Looking at a Karcher 2,000psi 1.4gpm at Home Depot for $229.00.

Not sure about the electric ones, but I have a gas powered Troy built from lowes and it has done well. I think it is 4000 psi unit 1.6-1.7 gpm

Skip Karcher and get over to Northern Tool for a better build of electric washers, their own NorthStar brand.

Karcher X Series seems to be highly recommended when I was doing my research.

I've got one with a Honda motor that starts first pull every time. My wife has a single friend that uses it a couple times a year with no problems and she is about a buck20.

go big and get hot water

What are you going to do with it? For pressure washing fences and such, the recommendation is 2900psi. You don't need near that much pressure for the deck/patio or car washes.

I have a 3000psi 5.5gpm with diesel burner just sitting in the shop. Like new condition.

That is what I was finding too.

That is the plan. Along with my mower and other small jobs. I think electric and 2,000psi (advertised) should be fine. Anymore than that and I get out of my desired price range for this gift.

I wouldn't know. She keeps the sink empty and dishes clean. I think she uses wizardry or some shit, I never see her do them.

That looks like a great deal too. I am gonna stay with electric though. I just don't want another maintenance item.
