Pressure Washer Recommendations?

Yea I have no use for a powerwasher other than washing cars and dirtbikes...but I am the type of person who would rather have more "machine" than I need - in that case the gas would be the winner, but its a tough call

I would really like to get some feedback on gas vs. electric? It seems like most people on here go the electric route.

To be honest I had a AR Blue 1900 PSI power washer in which I had to do mean research on getting the adapters in order to fit my MTM Foam cannon, found the adapter in which worked great but you can hear the pump really work. The bad thing about the electric washer is that if the connections get wet (in which happened to me since I had to move the unit around) the circuit will pop and have to wait for it to dry in order to use it again. There were occasions in when I connected the unit for the first time and the pump will run by itself without me pressing on the trigger. A year in the washer will malfunction in which I will have the unit just connected and I will be washing the car with a mit, at times the pump will make a whirling sound out of nowhere but no water will throw out. It does have the nice lock feature so that way it will not activate if someone decides to get you wet with the washer. The connections from the unit trigger to the adapters are not great in which at times they will lock into place and times they will not, the small soap adapter is poor made. After that bad experience I used a Honda gas powered pressure washer and have to say that I loved it, does make a lot of noise, and times to turn it one does get a bit hard. It did came with 4 nossel adapters, MTM cannon did fit in without any research to make it adapt to the unit. I say go gas power, much more better.
 
Not worried about the adapters as I have already been told the cannon on another site comes with the adapter you need to work with the AR390SS....I am more worried about reliability as you have stated...also about power...I feel like those electric pressure washers may be a bit low on power...but idk...I wish I could see and use one of these in person.
 
The power wise I felt more power on the gas than the electrical ones to be honest. AR was more like a meh! type of washer on my list, gas is more to go, can be noisier and turning it on and off in between rinses as in electric its always on but works whenever you need it.
 
I need at least 4000 psi of water power to clean my truck!!! Just kidding...
 
Jesus might as well blast the pain off clean from the truck! I am sure that a 2000 PSI will be good, that what I had for my gas powered pressure washer.
