There are so many different ones that I don't know how you tell which is best. That
Northstar (I guess this is the right model) seems rather expensive, but it does appear to have the nicest cart. One of my brothers has a Karcher and from what I've been able to find on the Internet, the Karcher may be the biggest seller of all. But I tried to find a place on the Internet where I could order parts, if needed, or find a dealer to repair one, if needed, and I had no luck at all. So instead, I bought the
Husky from Home Depot. The new one (shown in the link)
looks to be exactly like what I have, but I see it's rated at 2,000 psi while mine (purchased for $10 less) on 3/22/07 is rated at 1,800 psi. I
thought maybe that Northstar moved a greater volume and maybe that was what made it so expensive, but I see it shows to be 1.5
gpm while my Husky manual shows 1.6
gpm.
Before I bought the Husky last year, I visited our local Northern Tool store, where I've bought a lot of other stuff, but just couldn't see paying the higher price for an electric pressure washer, although there may be a reason it's worth more that I just don't know about.
