Recommend me a Pressure Washer

[Phishin]

What you guys think of this unit?

GX200 + CAT Pump + 2.5GPM

But for a few hundred more:

3.0 GPM Unit

Is the higher volume, but lower pressure worth the extra money?

The first one is 3300 PSI at 2.5 GPM
The second one is 2500 PSI at 3.0 GPM

What do you think?

Lots of good advice in here.

I've been very pleased with my NorthStar unit from Northern Tool...

I have one of those, as well as a $100 Ryobi special, the ryobi gets more use...

I bought a Karcher with Honda GC 190 motor in 2009 - it's been excellent. I bought it end of season at Costco for $300 Canadian. It's not worth the money to get electric.

Just took a look at your link. That's an odd duck...never seen a PW used on a vert. shaft motor before. The design puts the pump quite close to the ground, where it's vulnerable. I'd return it while you still can.

Don't ever store the pump wet.

Never store with water but yes absolutely you can on anifreeze and should after every use and never left with plain water in it.

I used a gas model to clean my patio. Those things are powerful enough to damage brick & concrete, so be careful washing a driveway if there are small cracks or chips or any compromised areas. Oh, gas washers are very loud too

For the experts here: is a $150 electric model strong enough to clean 2nd story gutters using a 25-foot wand?
