What's a good power washer

I've been using a Karcher K2.360 for a few years now with no problems. It was a Walmart special - still works perfect.
 
It depends on how much you use it. My first one was a Husky and yes I agree with your statement about them haha. This April i got a Ryobi, the 1700psi 1.2gpm that has the metal "cage" so it doesn't tip over. It did the job for a couple months but literally went up in smoke. I washed 3-4 cars a day with it though. You just can't expect home use equipment to last in a commercial setting. This Monday I dropped $1500 on a marked down commercial Karcher. One of the best investments I've ever made. You know the difference when you went from a PC to a Flex or Rupes? That's what I'm talking about. This machine costs nearly $3400 through Grainger and it's obvious why. Does 3.0gpm at 2k psi and has adjustable pressure on the want. I seriously wash a car in half the time and it's so quiet that I walked out of my office today about to ask my employee why he was standing around and realized he was actually washing a car. You could barely talk to someone with the other one running. If you're just using it for personal use weekend washes I would recommend that Ryobi I had from Home Depot. For $159 its a decent machine and I like that it didn't tip over if you pulled the hose a little to far plus it has a 1 year warranty and HD has a 90 day return policy if it nearly catches fire like mine did.
 
IMO, best is Kranzle (German made w/brass & built to last). I have the 1120T, which is now the 1122.
 
if i was in the market for a new electric pressure washer, i would look into this one. i have the 1700 psi version (different body style) and it's been great thus far and i found some fittings so i could use the gun without the long wand which i prefer for washing the car...

Greenworks seems to be a solid company. I got a 1/4 cordless impact from them last year and it gets the job done and the battery lasts much longer than other tools I've used. The build quality isn't quite on par with the Porter Cable my dad has and its missing a couple small features that show they don't have quite the R&D department of larger companies. But I just ordered their "PRO" 80v cordless blower for drying cars, It arrives today and I'm excited to see how it performs. This pressure washer looks very similar to the Ryobi I had so I give it a thumbs up.
