Power washers?

[spewking]

Just bought a sun joe spx3000 from Walmart with a 3 year extended warranty for $18 bucks. So 5 years of protection. Free shipping.

Like all of you, I have done a tremendous amount of research and settled on this one. Great reviews for the sun Joe of the machines in the mid-priced segment, and couldn't get over the AR proprietary fittings issue that ruled out the AR383. I thought about the lower priced ryobi and the karcher at $300+, and think this is just right for my detailing needs.

Got the Simpson 50' hose and brass connectors so I think I will be set up!!
Thanks to all for the assistance and info.

If noise is not a problem, then I would go with a gas one. Only problem with the cheap ones, it is not the engine that fails (if it is a Honda) but the pump. I would buy used and if it did not have a quality pump, I would pay less and replace. HF sells the Honda clone engine if you are building from scratch.

Yeah, noise was one of my biggest issue. Otherwise, you cannot beat gas power

Same here, I had to sell my gas one, so I bought an AR. It has some proprietary connections, but they sell connecters that make it fit almost everything. There is a guy on ebay selling foam cannons with a brass AR fitting for $39. I bought it and it works just fine. Just did three decks that had a number of years of mold, etc. and a 100' concrete driveway with parking pad. No issues. Works like a champ. Neighbor borrowed it and did his driveway and deck. It is a little workhorse.
