I've been wondering about these washers since they came on the
market a few years back. I rented a gas powered high pressure washer
from a rental place 10-12 years ago to wash down my house prior
to painting it and thought what a neato gadget. Of course, one
of those washers would be way too expensive, but the new smaller,
more portable jobbers are starting to get more reasonable. $290
is still a bit pricey but I'm keepin' watch!
