OT Electric Pressure Washer
Mike L
I am in the market for an electric pressure washer. I had a Karcher Gas model for years I just sold. I want to be able to clean my driveway or deck. Anybody with experience with the electric ones?
What to look out for, recommendations.
Thanks
Mike

They all appear to be made in the same factory. Got mine at Menard's and it looks like the Harbor Freight model. My original one's trigger mechanism broke and it was cheaper to get a whole new unit (on sale) than to order the part on Amazon. My first one lasted 3 years of light use, the second in on it's second year. My advise, buy the cheapest since it won't last a lifetime. When they run, they work pretty well. Some come with accessory nozzles and wands.
Just looked at them

I didn't buy one yet, but looked right after we bought a black car. I wanted to be able to get a suds gun and not a lot of pressure. The very cheapest only have a single adjustable nozzle. Some reviews said their nozzle would slowly creep to a different stream intensity. I would only think about a machine with separate nozzles. You'll definitely need to look at pump volume if you want to do a driveway!
