Best Cheap Pressure Washer

[Robenstein]

Looking for a cheap pressure washer to wash down the bikes, lawnmower, and cars. Only criteria is that it has a soap dispensing feature and its electric.

Any brands you recommend or to avoid?

There was one at Menards for $79 last week. I think there sales may go for a month. I beeded something more serious for removing paint so I rented.

Yeah Wal Mart has a Karcher here for 100 even at the everyday price. With the cost of driving to Menards it is about the same.

Around here it seems to be Karcher and FAIP brands.

I picked up a Karcher 1700 PSI electric one with 2 wands and I'm very impressed. I've used it for cleaning the house, the sidewalks/driveway/garage floor, washing the vehicles and its REAL handy to use to get all the ice/slush/salt off the vehicles after driving down the freeway for a couple of hours coming home from work.

Not a single problem with it so far. I have used it in below freezing weather with 40 degree water going in it.

Easy to use and clean.

I'd do it again.

Take care, Bill

Make sure it is rated for continuous operation. The better ones have induction motors.

True.

The one I got does. I did look for that.
