This is off topic, but I hope some listers will respond. Am thinking of purchasing a gas powered pressure washer for home use. Any suggestions? The electric ones are useless for patio/driveway clean

I do use mine to clean my wirewheels & it works well. I bought a Generac 2300 psi direct drive 5 years ago at the local Lowes in FL to blast the green & black off the driveways & sidewalks. It works

Be sure to check the requirements of the unit when shopping for a pressure washers. Many of them require a minimum of 5 gallons per minute input in order to work. If you (like me) live in an area th

I have seen a small electric pressure washer do very good cleaning on fences and driveways. I just purchased a larger one at Home Depot with 1800 PSI for $130.00. I haven't used it yet but I am looki

If you (like me) live in an area that hass poor water pressure, it might not work. What happens is it will deliver pressure immediately when the wand handle is depressed but will quickly dissipate an

I purchased a Troy Built from Lowes. It lost a gasket in the pump. Oil leaked out. There went the pump. Might have been just that one but it happened. ________________________________________________

Since I am only 50 miles from the Mexican Border, perhaps it is contageous! Our water tank sits on a berm built by the Asarco mining company and it is probably only 50 feet or so above our house. Tha

So you don't think the electric ones have any power eh? Rent/borrow one first. It's remarkable the amount of damage you can do with one, even a mere 2,000 psi electric one. Like another said, rip the

Interesting. I'm pretty sure the one I have will actually lift water a short distance; as it will collapse the garden hose if it doesn't get enough flow. However ISTR the manual says it needs 20 psi

Didn't say the electric washers have no power...the problem with them is that the power is only in a small area, and it takes a tremendous amount of time to do a big job like a patio, driveway, etc.
