    none so far

    I had that one and despised it. Impossible to roll up cord and hose, very clunky. After 12-14 months of use, it finally conked out and I tossed it in garbage.

    That's a bummer. Think you can swap it out with a bigger one, etc?

    Bummer, good to know though. I hope the new one works out better.

    Ok, so after a good MONTH of agonizing...

    Went to Home Depot and got the Ryobi 2000 psi electric. Also bought the foam sprayer and soap.

    The foam sprayer and soap are soooo bad that it should be illegal. Damn, in about 45 seconds you've sprayed about $5 worth of soap. Give me a f'n break, back to store with a refund....

    But, the pressure washer itself is pretty good and had good reviews. Much better than the crap I bought at Lowe's and had a 3 yrs warranty that I extended 2 more years for $25. I figure for the cost, I'll have 3-4 of these under the warranty program. I use it like 3 times per week...

    Here’s what I like about mine the most. It’s compact and fits in my cabinet well.


    What I don’t like is it keeps flipping the breaker to my garage. I’ve got an old dedicated plug in the center of the garage that I’m gonna have to run from.

    Anybody have a PowerStroke electric pressure washer? If so, is it any good?

    I was in Costco this morning and they have a 1900 psi PowerStroke electric for $149. Looks pretty decent with all metal fittings, but you know how that goes.

    Being Costco though, returns are easy, even a couple years down the road.

    Newage pro 3.0’s absolutely love them!! Put them in about a year ago when I did a mini garage overhaul. They are very stout. Not exactly cheap, but not super expensive. Got a solid deal from Costco. Researched and agonized for about 8 months on what to do

    Quick question you guys may be able to help with. Ordered some quick disconnects for it (m22 to 3/8”). Fits on the hose to gun fine. But the hose to machine doesn’t fit. The hose end is too big to fit into the m22 (male to female joke here)

    Hold the Line! If you are not holding the line, abandon your ship. Destruction is inevitable without more to hold the line!
    The only pressure washers I have found that are worth a damn are always Honda powered, Briggs and Stratton are a no-go for me.

    I have this one. It's worked out well so far. I'm using the same cheap foam cannon that everyone else got Amazon and works like a champ.

    If you’re looking to do more than just washing your vehicles I’d suggest biting the bullet and going gas. I bought a Simpson powered by honda from my local Tractor supply and it’s a great unit. Coupled that with a cheap foam cannon and chemical guys soap and it’s amazing
