I need to purchase a hot water pressure washer for commercial use.
I am looking at several options, but I am not sure what to look for: engine, brand, PSI, HP and etc..
I am looking at an interesting offer on ebay for a china made engine pressure washer for $2585 shipped. It looks nice, but I am not sure if that China engine will be reliable. On the other hand if I look for Honda engine HWPW I will probably have to sacrifice the 4500 PSI with less and will eventually pay more than $2600..
Here is the ebay deal: http://cgi.ebay.com/Powerland-4500-PSI-Gas-Power-Hot-Water-Pressure-Washer_W0QQitemZ290335600732QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item439959b05c&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
What do you guys think and suggest?
Thanks,
D.

Here is my suggestion --- take it for what it's worth, which is speculation. Unless someone has purchased such a washer and knows....everyone can only 'speculate'.
So....if this is your first washer, and you're using it for business purposes, buy one locally. Pay the money and get one with a warranty from a company that looks like they will be in business at least for one year (yeah I know). That way if anything happens, you can take it there and let them deal with it and get it back quickly. Otherwise you run the risk of having something happen, then taking it somewhere and no one being familiar with it and either you're waiting forever for parts, or paying thru the nose for labor...or both and being without it for who knows how long.
After you buy your first one and you're good......then go buy one off ebay, then if anything happens, you're covered. If it turns out to be a good deal, then buy another one, but for the first one...for business....buy local.

Recommended PSI for Gas Pressure Washer cleaning Car and garage door?
Phoenix82
Hi, I recently bought a 2600 PSI Gas Pressure washer but I haven't used it yet, I plan on using it today but I have a couple of questions. I have a foam lance (a foamer gun) for washing cars,what PSI should I use when the foam gun is attached to it to wash my car? Also, my garage doors are dirty, what psi should I use to clean them and avoid chipping the paint on them?
Answer
William B is right. High pressure nozzles can strip off the paint. It can also remove the clear coat. If you use higher pressure keep the nozzle far away from the surface. Remember too these high pressures can cut through skin and even cut fingers and toes off.
