What is the best pressure washer UNDER $300?

Q. Due to an old roomates German Shepard, and his propensity to scratch, urinate and deficate on my deck, I have to pressure wash it before resealing it, and I also need to pressure wash the patio beneath it. This gives me an excuse to buy a pressure washer. I know nothing about these things so... What is the best model under $300 that will take care of buisness?

Answer
Karcher 2400 PSI, Honda gas powered, from Costco, $299. Sorry, it seems that this model is no longer made. A co-worker recommended this model and I've been extremely satisfied. The electric models are not much better than a good high pressure hose nozzle. The closest I can find is Karcher 2500 PSI Pressure Washer w/ Honda Engine $399.99

How to clean cement on driveway?

Annie

Answer
Rent a pressure washer, is the easiest way to remove the dirt. Don't buy one its not worth it unless u have a big deck and driveway to clean. Most pressure washer are made for about 80 hrs from places like Sam's or Costco. Unless u want to pay for the good ones, there price is 1000 + bucks. This might be a job that you can hire out, or rent one for the day. You will be surprised by the difference in the concrete and the pressure wash deck-- they look brand NEW,

I just bought a Karcher press. washer. Can't find any info for this model on the web. 3.75hp Briggs 1500psi?

chad90sami

I have a model # and I know that it is a 158cc engine. There are several numbers on it and I have tried to run them all and have forund no pictures or anything that match what I have. Can anyone help me find out more about this item. I tried Karcher.com and it is not there either. I can take pictures or if anyone that works in this field can help it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Answer
Karcher will often have different part numbers based on what store it retails through. So a costco karcher with the same configuration as a Home Depot pressure washer will have different part numbers. Same engine same pump.

Sometimes there is a serial number on the pump it self that will indicate the pump model. Look on the bottom of the pump near the engine.

If you know the engine size and the pump specs 1500 psi @ x gpm you should be able to compare that to like products on the Karcher website.

gun wand and tip do not have to be from Karcher. The gpm psi data will indicate the tip size.

Their commercial units are more clearly marked.

good luck

What PRESSURE WASHER should I buy?

jerseymom

Looking to purchase a gas pressure washer. Don't want to spend more than I have to. Traditional residential cleaning, siding kid toys, patio furniture, etc. I was looking at a 2600 but recently heard I need a 3000??? Any thoughts? Any specific models you like?? Thanks!!
it will be used frequently and those crummy 1500's don't do anything for siding. i know i need gas i'm just not sure if the 2600 is enough or if i should go for the 3000

Answer
A 2600psi or a 3000psi gas pressure washer can do some pretty serious damages but it doesn't mean you couldn't use those units for your applications. Many gas powered pressure washers will allow you to adjust the power level. You could use those pressure washers to wash your car and windows or strip paint off your old wooden fence. High power pressure washers will be A LOT more versatile than those underpowered 1500psi or 1800psi ones.

Honda is famous for their small gasoline engines. Like their cars and lawnmowers, their gas pressure washers also live up to this reputation. They are easy to start. They are easy on gas. And they will last for who knows how long with just regular maintenance. A 2600psi pressure washer is capable of making dents (with the "right" nozzle) on your stucco (or even your drive way) already and it will be good enough for residential cleaning. But since power levels could be adjusted, it won't hurt if you get yourself a bigger unit (if you think extra power is worth the cost). Our local Costco stores sells Honda pressure washers for under $500. Maybe you should check yours too. :)

PS: Be careful with those pressure washers. Always check the power setting before each use. I used the washer to wash my lawn chairs once. I didn't know the washer was set on full power and the jet stream cut the fabric on one of the chairs right open. There's another time when I used pressure washer to wash my motorcycle. Once again, I forgot to check the power setting and the first blast cut the saddle (seat) right open. After that incident, I ALWAY check the settings. LOL

PPS: Don't be tempted to test how powerful the jet stream is with your hand. Many high pressure washers are very capable of giving you very nasty cuts.

karcher pressure washer wont work like normal?

pressure washer in costco image

Kobe get y

i have a karcher 2500psi gas power washer i bought from costco 5 years ago, it runs fine every summer. this spring i took it out and power washed half of my driveway, i turned it off to take a break, when i turned it back on and started power washing, it would only shoot a weak stream. not enough to even break the dirt away, almost like a garden hose. I changed spark plugs, filled gas , filled oil. it will power wash for about 2 seconds, then go back to garden hose stream. i take off the nozzle, put it back on, and i get another 2 seconds, i have to keep repeating. but its senseless to keep doing this .

what could be the problem?

i noticed whenever the pressure washer does work it will jerk, then will go to garden hose stream mode

any help? thanks

Answer
Sounds like you need to replace the check valves in the pump. Or the pressure relief valve could be sticking open from trash or corrosion. You could try and clean them out. Probably will need to rebuild the pump.
