> How much PSI do I need to clean driveways and the side of a house?
Tough question, but I have a 6.5 hp 3300 psi model and I wish it had more
pressure. Note that flow is important too.
BTW, a "rotating" nozzle will help simulate a larger unit. It moves the
needle spray in a circular pattern that covers more area without reducing
the pressure or flow focused on a single point.

IMO it's definitely worth repairing this washer rather than spending as much
or more on an electric model. The electric models just don't have the
punch. Check your local Sears service center, they usually can turn them
around pretty fast.

Another option might be to rent one for a day, especially if you don't need
one at your new home.
