Hi,

My biggest disaster was the purchase of quite expensive gasoline powered 
power washer. It was the most tempermental, ear deafening thing I have ever 
used!

It was a pig to start, once running it blew off the water delivery hose 
every time I released the wash trigger, lastly it wandered all over the 
place like something possessed!. It was quite useless.Back to the store with 
that one.

I have used electric pressure washers with a great deal of success. I went 
for a recognised brand name. My advice would be to stay electric and go for 
the middle price range or the highest you can budget for, it definitely will 
pay off in the end.

I found that the cheaper ones do not last long before developing faults. 
Most cheaper one also do not have dispensers for degreasing/patio cleaner 
fluid and usually have a less pressure delivery.

We have a brand here in UK called Karcher, very reliable, they are probably 
world wide. Very satisfied with mine.
