It seems that I need a power washer since I have moved to the Pacific NW. My deck is like a sheet of ice, covered in some type of slime. Besides it might be a handy tool. I would like a unit that is

I had a 1200psi electric one, which was ok for washing cars, but not much more. I replaced it with a 2200psi, 2.2gpm, 5hp gas unit by Campbell Hausfeld I really like. It has both the normal soap tank

I had been lusting after a nice big gas-powered but I considered how much I would actually use it and how much room it would occupy in my garage, and I wimped out and got an electric one yesterday ev

You can also rent them from most tool rental places. If you're only going to use it to wash a deck once a year, it may make sense to just rent one for a day. It'll cost more in the long run, but you

I bought one @ Home Depot a couple years ago. "Excell" by DeVilbiss, with a 5HP Honda engine (not some B&S piece of crap flat-head), decent construction, etc. It lists for $388 right now. I'd post a

Hmmm.... That sounds similar to what I had until it was stolen last fall. Mine was "refurbished" and only cost $240 or so. Mine had the B&S engine and was throttlable if that a real word. There is no

If this is an issue, I suppose one could get a length of radiator hose and put a sleeve of it over the pressure hose to protect it. - Bill Rabel Anacortes, WA

Does anyone know how to fix these things before I take mine to the shop? Mine runs fine but when you pull the trigger the pump seems to bind up and kill the engine. Anyone had sometihng similar happ

You probably need a new manifold. I had one given to me a few years back that didn't work, same symtoms as yours and I found a new manifold did the trick. Probably cost ya couple hundred bucks. Lots
