Pressure Washer recommendations

I have this exact model. Works great for washing the cars and with my chemical guys foam cannon.

I also used it to clean the brick on the house once and it worked just OK. My primary reason for purchasing this was to detail my wife and I's vehicles with the foam cannon and it works phenomenally.

 

I have an older similar model to this one. I use it for my tractor and vehicles.

 

Wish these would go on sale again. How is it holding up after 3 years of use?

 

holding up great … still using it twice a year to pressure wash things around the house and all of the concrete. And i use it for most of my car washing.

 

I use a Briggs & Stratton 20680 Electric Pressure Washer, 1800 PSI, 1.2 GPM, Red/Gray/Titanium, with a foam cannon.

I have a Karcher 1800psi electric. Works great for what I need(vehicle, deck, boat, driveway, etc). Always thought gas was the way to go but my brother steered me away. He asked what I'd be using it for and told me I'd find it to be a pain because I would probably be turning it on and off constantly. Mine sits idle for periods while I'm either using a brush or sponge so for me electric was the way to go.

 

Thanks to whoever rezzed this thread so I could read this dad joke

 

Some details on my Sun Joe electric setup over here

 

I got the same pressure washer just a few weeks ago, coming from a gas. The electric one made the job of washing a car/truck SO MUCH FASTER. Though I'll keep the gas one for house duties.

 

Got this Ryobi electric. The round head works great on concrete. Use it for the concrete around my pool.

 

I've got an older sears craftsman that i installed a new pump with more psi....i think its up around 3k psi now. It was pretty good when i had my boats. Now just use it to wash the outside of the house, and walks. I don't believe in using a pressure washer on the truck.

 

Here is my previous and current set up.

If you’re thinking long term and easy starting, especially for something used intermittently, get one with a Honda engine. If just for casual use and no heavy duty cleaning then I would suggest electric.

 

I basically just want something to was cars and vinyl siding. Also I live up in the Frozen Tundra so want to be able to easily bring in the basement over winter.

Being a Veteran, I get 10% off at both Lowes and HD. Leaning toward Ryobi 2300 ($299) -Or- Greenworks Pro 2300 ($249):

RYOBI 2300 PSI 1.2 GPM High Performance Electric Pressure Washer RY142300 (homedepot.com)

Greenworks Pro 2300 PSI 2.3-Gallon-GPM Cold Water Electric Pressure Washer in the Electric Pressure Washers department at Lowes.com

Both have 3 yr warranty and both are PWMA certified. I like the hose that comes with Greenworks better (UberFlex) and I don't really like the hose attachment point on the the wand of Ryobi. But I also heard Greenworks Customer Service stinks if you ever have a warranty claim (many many BBB complaints).

Was looking at 2700 psi but prices jump rather quickly above 2300.

 

You can't beat Kranzle... Built for life.

 

I have an old Craftsman 3,200 psi pressure washer that will not die that I use for cleaning the driveway, house siding, etc. But I bought one of those electric ones from Home Depot for washing vehicles and other light duty items and have been very pleased with it's performance. The electric ones have come a long way.

 

Been really happy with my Generac.

 

I’m running a Karcher set up.

 

Was at my local HD tonight and they had the Dewalt 2400 psi on sale for $299 even though the website said $349. Also gets great reviews.

It appears the Ryobi 2300 has been updated. I don't think any of these 3 would be a bad choice (Ryobi, Greenworks, Dewalt).
