Ironically, I bought a pressure washer on Sunday as well. I was a Pep
Boys buying some engine degreaser to use on the underside of my car.
They had a Simoniz branded electric washer rated (probably
optimistically) at 1750 PSI. With a couple of rebates, it was $89.99. So
I bought it. Looks a lot like a Karcher unit, but it has an integrated
solution tank.
Did a very nice job on the underbody, then used it on the concrete
porch, brick walls, patio furniture, venetian blinds, etc... For the
price paid, it's a useful item... I noticed HD also had a 1750 psi
washer on sale for $99.00 Think it was Husky brand.
I borrowed a friends gas powered unit last year, a big mofo of a washer.
I don't think it did any better of a job than this little electric job.
Perhaps a little faster, and also capable of doing serious damage to
some surfaces, like pressure treated lumber, etc... Wonder how I know
that!?
