Local close out store had a Karcher electric "AS IS" marked down to about the price of new pressure hose. Bought it and the capacitor on the motor had worked loose in shipping. Pushed it in and has run with no problems for a year. Bought a used coleman electric for $10 at a yard sale--used for a couple of years until the hose developed a leak at the wand. It has an odd size O ring that I haven't been able to find, but the hose interchanges with the Karcher.

Lighter weight. No gas. No oil. No rope starting. Quiet. Neither one is a heavy duty unit, but certainly fine for most homeowners.
