So this spring I will be in the market to purchase a new pressure washer. This is one item I have found I use a lot and am looking at upgrading from my current small electric model. Why I post is I am interested in anyone's feedback, opinions, experiences or contacts towards my next unit.

In my research so far I am leaning towards this one, and it goes on sale in a few weeks for $100 off.

OK, I am ready for the onslaught :Hangman:

If I recall correctly its the 2000psi BEwasher. cant remember price, but it has a 3ish hp honda motor.

its at my mom's place out in Bragg Creek, so I haven't seen it in a few years. but it was awesome.

2000psi would strip paint off a deck, so I don't know what 3000psi will do...

Ian, could you make that link open a in a new window? KTHXBYE :mrgreen: J/k


Im looking for one too. I wonder if you can turn down the pressure though. I wash my house with a crappy one that I borrow, I dont know how well the siding would hold up to 3000psi!

I know what you are saying, I don't need 3000 psi but this seems to be the best value.

Anyway, I would not worry about the siding ... the house on the other hand ...

Yeah...3000 psi will likely strip paint off a car. I've got a Briggs & Stratton...I believe it's the same one as CT has on sale for $499 right now. I think it's 2200 psi. I stripped all the paint off my deck last fall with it. They're a super handy thing to have around the house, no doubt.
