lookin for a decent pressure washer 500 and under..

[jeffywestcoast]

trying to find a half decent pressure washer for a few hundred bucks or less, would like to hear what other members are using?, need it for cleaning my RV.. so it doesn't need to be commercial grade but would prefer a gas model over an electric.. thanks

Go to costco I'm sure they are less then $500 new.

I got a one I think its Krakker or something... has a honda engine. Works great I've had it for a few years.

might go ahead and head over to Costco and see what they have , found this one online but I want one today , also this might be a little overkill I only really need 1500-2000 psi

Try the Costco one if it's does work the way you like return it

Honda sells a small gas unit for 499 i bought a few for work and they are great. Hard to be a honda for small engine market

 

[jeffywestcoast]

the guy still had the original tag on the engine.. but he lied and told me it was 450.00 new and I found it for 298.00 on amazon.. I paid 300.00, I doubt he paid much more then that he saved me a drive to Costco .. seem pretty decent has really good pressure , not crazy about the hose/wand setup..but It runs good so.. will have to see .. Gary we can try it on your boat if you like, it can strip wood off the deck im sure it would work fine it came with four different tips , going to do the RV tomorrow.. I have some 30 seconds spray that is supposed to work really good for the rv exterior.

You did good buddy .

I have a Honda unit from HD for a few years now. Spits a bit harder and paid a bit more but really how much power do you need? Love the unit and it just sits most of the year but the guy's at work all borrow it and it gets used a fair bit amongst our group.

Get an aftermarket swirling tip for it. They work great on concrete.

 

[jeffywestcoast]

You bet, funny thing is i have no concrete..i might upgrade the wand/hose but it seems ok , better then the electric ones i looked at for around the same price

New Line in Nanaimo has all the kick azz after market wands, hoses, and fittings for pressure washers (or anything to do with water or hydraulics for that matter). They are next to Berk's on McCullough.

I got this one 450.00 a few months ago down hear in Mill Bay at the husqvarna dealer where i got my chainsaw... Its night day from electric...I used to have one of those Karcher Costco electric ones never again. Tahts sounds like a good deal Jeff...

 

[GDW]

The karcher I got is gas, 3000 psi with a Honda motor probably very similar to Jeffy's.
