Need an electric pressure washer

[TheFinanceGuy]

FWIW my family has had this one from Home Depot for the last 5ish years. It gets yearly use cleaning the pool deck, pool shed, my deck, and various other jobs around including car washes.
The handle broke last year, but I replaced it from a pile of parts that HD had on hand from returned broken units.

Also, my FIL swears by Kratcher.

Thanks guys. Looks like a trip to home depot is going to happen.

Chris, how much does the P/W actually help with the washing? I can see how it would on the wheels, but is there enough bang for the buck on the rest of the car?

I can provide a review/let you know when my foam canon and foam arrives. Picking up pressure washer this week.

I like it. Wheel wells, engine bay (low pressure setting), bugs on front bumper. I like it. The foam cannon really does help a lot too. I just did a range rover full detail this past weekend and the wash alone made a huge difference. It was rough!!

Especially for $170 it's worth it IMO. Then again, I detail at least 2-3 cars a week so I use it frequently.

I like the way it works and the ability to remove the gun and spray water to rinse the car. Will put the pressure washer on my wish list!

Got this pressure washer yesterday. Going to use it tomorrow with the uber foam cannon.
