Phil,

I got a Troy Built 2450 PSI 2.5 GPM unit at lowes about 4 years ago.

It has a Honda 5.0 OHC engine and came with 4 tips + cleaner feed.

It has worked great around the house. Cleaning the driveway after winter, the 
deck and furniture, vinyl sidiing etc.

I have never tried it on the 4's wire wheels but will give it a shot this 
spring! That is a good idea.

It is a very compact unit.

1 accessory I did get was a sand blaster to be used as a water powered 
blaster. That worked great on my brother's cast iron furniture we did 2 
summers ago.

No home should be with out a power washer!
