Best Pressure Washer Setup for Less Than $300?

I'm looking for a pressure washer that I can use for cement driveways, decks, etc. I also am looking to get a flat surface cleaner. I have tried looking on the Costco since I heard they sold some website but I couldn't find them. I also don't want a junk piece of plastic. Thanks for the help.

Answer
You won't find a commercial grade pressure washer for less then $900. Anything with a pump that mounts underneath the motor is considered a home owner use pressure washer and won't hold up to consistent use. Plus when they do breakdown, they are more expensive to fix than what you paid for them.

Grainger sells Mi-T-M, which is a quality pressure washer. Home Depot's sells a high end Dewalt pressure washer with a Cat Pump.

Do research and talk to your local pressure washer distributor to make sure you get a quality machine.

Anyone have a pressure washer?

--x

I live in a small block of flats and was thinking of getting one to clean the landing and stairs, what i was wondering was if i connect it to the water tap out the back garden can i connect a hose to that so that the washer reaches up the stairs? I have never used one before so im not sure if you can only connect the washer direct to the tap.

Thanks

Answer
you always use a hose with a pressure washer and you can rent one with a good PSI rating 2500 to 3000 that will really clean your landing or buy one at home depot I just bought one that is 2600 PSI with a honda moter for 299$ it has a 25 foot hose to the gun and I use a 100 ft garden hose and I can reach anything

Pressure washer for Car?

bibi

my husband is thinking to buy a pressure washer , main reason is to wash his car, but also to use it around the house, drive way etc...but we have no idea which one to buy, which PSI is strong enought to clean the car without damaging the car. He baby his car very much!
Does anyone know what is the PSI at the car wash?? is there any pressure washer that has adjustible pressure?
Thank you!
does anyone know what is the PSI at the Coin car wash.

Answer
on pressure washers the PSI is not as important as the GPM (gallons per minute) so look for pressure washers that have a higher GPM rating. also you adjust the PSI by changing nozzles. make sure there are a variety of nozzles avaliable or the nozzle itself is adjustable. this ensures a wide variety of uses. you would want low pressure to say clean exterior of house vs clean car or driveway. a typical car wash uses 500 to 700 psi. you can find them at sears, lowes, home depot, harbour freight and many auto parts store.

How much does it cost to rent a pressure washer?

I tried looking it up on Home Depot website but they don't have the prices listed. I'm just trying to get a general idea, not an exact price. Thanks.

Answer
I bought a pressure washer that I really like {unfortunately someone liked it right out of my truck at the store} from Home Depot Wacker it had everything us Johnny Homeowners need at the pressures we need not need to settle on. I water-blasted my house for painting and trenched under me sidewalk for a 1-1/4" drain effortlessly and controlled for a perfect fit with no big undermining blow outs, just a nice straight clean chute. I payed $200 for it and would pay that in 3 uses from rentals. They make some good ones if you do the home work or like me trip blindly over it lol.

Can anyone recommend a cleaning agent to use with a Pressure Washer?

luv2help

I'm pressure washing my yard (god I didn't realize how hard it is to do) and I need a good cleaning agent. I went to Home Depot and they reccomended a cement cleaner. I sprayed it on, left it on for 15 minutes and then pressure washed. It worked okay, but I want to be able to spray and every thing gets sprayed off easily. My yard has this taracota stone looking floor.

Answer
you need to spray hydrochloric acid , but NOT with your pressure washer. use a pump sprayer. let it sit overnight and then pressure wash with water.peace.

What are good hose replacement for AR 383 pressure washer?

pressure washer at home depot image

Mr. Aztec

I have a AR 383 (blue clean) pressure washer which it came with a detergent bottle (which I find it useless). I want to replace the hose and as upgrade the gun with the wands. Anyone recommends me a good pressure gun to buy where I can attach a foam cannon and as well with good wands. Also I would like to replace the hose in order to make it compatible with the pressure gun.

Answer
The AR Blue Clean line uses proprietary connections so that you cannot use standard hoses and guns as replacements. This is like what Apple does with the iPhone. Fortunately, there are some adapters out there. Home Depot sells one, I'll put the link in my sources below. With this you could now attach standard hoses and guns/accessories. BE makes good guns and foam cannons, and goodyear makes good hoses. There are many other quality guns and hoses out there as well, BE's are just easier to find than some of the others.

How to clean our wooden fence?

pressure washer at home depot image

Sara

Hello,
We recently purchased our home and are about to move in. One of our main concerns in our gray and shabby fence. How do we clean and seal it?

Can we rent a pressure washer from home depot or something? or should we let a professional do the job? Also how much would it cost?

Thanks!

Answer
The reason your fence is grey is because it's cedar. It starts off salmon colored, and slowly fades to gray. The inside might still have some of the coppery orangy colored wood, but maybe not. If the wood has deep grain grooves, then it's become brittle and those bits need to be replaced.

Otherwise, this is just the way cedar fences look. The important thing is to make sure the wood is stable. Any wooden posts should be pushed on to make sure they're not broken off at the ground. The back sides of fences should be checked to make sure the support boards are not rotted out at the ends.

Any loose nails or screws should be replaced. Make sure not to use too long of a fastener, otherwise, you could be liable for any injury of someone bumping into the pointy end on the other side of the fence.

If you have to do too much work, you may want to simply replace the fence, but I find for an old fence, I replace one post and three support boards every 2-5 years. I have 20 sections and one gate.

If you do replace the fence, go with galvanized steel posts because they'll last 50 years or more. If you already have the steel posts, then this is great and will save some time and cost on replacement.

If you're keeping the fence, and it's strong and secure, then here's what I would do.

You can use the solution recommended for vinyl siding. A quarter cup detergent, a quarter cup chlorine bleach, and a gallon of water. Put this in a garden sprayer and coat the whole fence with it. Obviously, don't wear good clothes since you're working with bleach.

This will kill any mildew and you can use a spray hose to rinse off any dirt and crud.

If you want to preserve it a bit, let it dry well before attempting to paint or seal it. You can use any sort of deck seal with UV protection. Some of these will have a stain in them which will help cover up the grey. Otherwise, you could use an outdoor, oil based paint. You can use rollers or paint brushes, but it's slow going. A sprayer will get between the boards better and be faster, but you'll end up painting your lawn, a few trees, etc if you're not careful.

Darker colors will make the wood heat up more, so a light colored fence paint is the safest for long-term health.

The only problem is that you may not be able to get into neighbor's yards to paint the back of the fence. Without that, it won't be sealed, and the paint will start peeling in a year or two.

If you DO replace the fence, you can buy pre-stained, pre-sealed fences. Some are pressure treated too, or you can get only PT and not sealed. PT is greenish for a couple of years, and will turn grey after that, but won't rot nearly as quickly. The sealed fence will look "new" longer, but will require re-sealing from time to time unless the stain is pressured in (rare).
