I\'ve got pressure washeritis! Help!

Looking for a good pressure washer. I have looked at the pressure washers at Lowes & Home Depot. Most are junk except for the 3700 psi, 4 gpm Husqvarna pressure washer Lowes sells. They want $1299 for that Model. Any comments, suggestions, or opinions very much appreciated. I have found a place on line that sells pressure washers below is the link. Any other ideas??? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

That's what I've got. It's got a Honda engine and a decent pump. I've been real happy with it.

Has anyone looked at or own the $999 pressure washer at Sams Club. It is a 4000 psi 4 GPM with a 15HP Kohler Command Pro engine and a AR pump. What the group think about the Kohler engine and AR pump.

Re: I\'ve got pressure washeritis! Help!

I just got finished useing a generac 2700 psi pressure washer w/ honda 5 hp . i used it to strip my deck and was left quite happy. i will plead the fifth on who it belonged to but will say it is used in industrial work weekly and is holding up.
i used it on a few other things while i had it and was happy. enough to the point that i have been to lowes , where it was bought , and looked at them . it looks like troybilt builds the same one for $419.00

for my intended use i will have one around 2700 to 3000 psi soon. and probably will come from lowes.
just my experience with them. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Just wanted to get back you guys with what I finally decided on to cure the "Pressure Washeritis" /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif. I got a Coleman 13.5 HP, 3500 psi, 4 gpm, 4 sprayer heads, & 50 ft. hose with wand for $749 , no sales tax, and FREE delivery. It is a cheapie but I figured I would give it a try at that price. A comparable unit most other places was between $1300 & $1500. I will post a review on how well it works and how I like it. Figured I would share the wealth. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Nice looking pressure washer with decent specs. Price seems good too.

Hey, it's got a Robin engine. That should generate a lot of interest from the Power Trac folks.

BTW, Coleman is one of those companies that has started selling its name. We just bought Coleman patio furniture from Lowes. One of the papers accompanying the furniture stated that the Coleman name was being used under license to Lowes's Companies Inc.

The furniture was labeled as coming from LG Sourcing of N. Wilkesboro, NC. It was made in China. In this case, it looks like the closest that Coleman got to this furniture was when they cashed the check from Lowes. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

It's nice furniture, and we knew all this going in, so we're not feeling ripped off.

Of course the pressure washer may actually have been made by Coleman. Their power equipment seems pretty decent. I have one of their twin stack compressors, and it hasn't given me a lick of trouble.

I just wish I knew who really made it.
