Electirc Pressure Washer

plowjockey · #1 04/19/13, 04:13 PM

I have a gas powered, but it's a pain to pull out, gas/oil, start/warm, just for a quick spray job.

I'd like an electric, to keep handy, just turn on and go.I purchased a cheapie 1500 PSI, which does not seem to be a lot more powerful, than the hose spray nozzle.

Also would like one with a decent detergent dispenser, that can be turned on/off, with ease.

Maybe on in the $150 or so range.

Anybody use one?

If you just want to use it to "wash" something, they are OK. For me though, I wouldn't waste my money on one.

Have a look at this one. I have a buddy that has one and he likes it. and the reviews are all pretty good.

I was going to return the AR 118, but the labels got wet so I decided to keep it (only paid $34 anyway ).

It seems to be working better and if I pre-spray the oily/dirty/greasy stuff, with de-greaser, it cleans it off pretty good. Guess I was expecting similar performance, as the gas-powered.

Thanks for the input.

Mine doesn't have the swirler attachment and I wish it did. Another problem is that, with so much water around, the circuit breaker that keeps me from getting electricuted, kicks in at inconvenient times. You're probably better off dragging out the gas powered job.
