Portable Pressure Washer

Does anyone know of, or recommend a pretty good one. I am looking to spend anywhere from $150 - $300 , as long as its a good product ill be happy. This one looks decent , but then again i really have no clue what to look for.

I would spend a little more and buy something with a honda engine, it should last forever then.

Definately a Honda engine is a must!......Those Briggs & Stratton and Tecumsah engines are terrible and loud. Spring the extra $$$ and get a General T991GR pump which includes a gear reduction for longevity. A great unit complete should run you about $1,200 and it will last forever with proper maintenance. I have 2 of these units and one of them has run flawlessly for over 12 years!

Another great option is an electric unit with a Baldor motor and a Cat pump @ either 115v or 230v and those run between $500 - $800 complete.

from what i've read, the gas pressure washers are kind of overkill anyway. this is if you're primarily using this pressure washer to wash your car

if you don't mind, this one is very popular among detailers

umm that karcher is 150-180..that is not over 300.. so the limit won't budge.. the only thing is i wish i spent triple and got the one from detailers domain.. it has gotten great reviews and is a lot more powerful with a much better design. i have the karcher 1800 and it is a good system.. but the fittings are cheap and you will need to buy quick connects and a different gun if you want to use a foam cannon.. i hardly ever use my PW any more b/c it takes longer to rinse and it is still cold out and i don't want to use it in the heated garage. if i had more space and just my car maybe.. but still i honestly think a cr spotless system is a much much better investment than a pressure washer.
