I bought a small honda powered pressure washer from Costco for $300 and it's the best 300 I think I've ever spent.

Consumer grade electric pressure washers are not very good and they don't last. To get an electric one that is comparable to a gas one, performance wise, then it costs 2-3 times more. That extra money does buy less noise, auto stop-start when you pull the trigger so it is not running all the time, and the ability to use hot water (if the unit is rated for hot water).

I have used a few different gas ones and they worked well, but then went with this AR Blue Clean unit so I can use hot water during long, cold winters.

Ended up getting a ryobi one, it was on sale and was perfect plus had a Honda motor, nozzle was 5 way adjustable with different pressures and soap redivide as well! Thanks for the help and suggestions

A word of advice in case you didn't know, only use 100% gas in that pressure washer. Nothing kills a carburetor faster in small engines than ethanol blend. Of course it took me 1 mower, 3 weed eaters and 2 pressure washers until I switched to 100%. Haven't had any issues since.

yup made sure of that lol i also put some sta-bil in the gas to make sure that it can store the gas a little longer than normal since i dont wash it once a week right now like the summer time

I find gas powered pressure washer to powerful in cleaning car paint . It can even stripe off paint or decals. Best way to know if pressure is safe is by trying it in your palm it should hurt you at all.

Hmmm, I don't think so . . some pressure guns can rip-tear-ass.
I point all guns in a safe direction.
Better have a wide fan if you do a selfie test . . ouch
