Hi there,
Like you I used to have one of those electric models though I bought it
at least 15 years ago. It went missing after my brother died about 6 years
ago (I think he loaned it out and it was never returned). My reaction to
owning it was just like yours - more power this time! I got one of these
from Home Depot: http://www.excellpressurewasher.com/xc2800.asp
and it made reasonably quick work of cleaning the wood siding on the front
of the house and the railing on the handicap ramp. It's taking a lot longer
to paint the ramp railing than it took to clean it! I like the fact that
the handles reverse for storage. Also, in practice the "Adjustable Spray
Patterns" head has worked great - no nozzles to get lost, easy to switch,
and great to dance to (OK just kidding on the last one). Be warned - it
sure is a challenge to restart the motor after refueling when you forget to
release the pressure in the hose.
Good luck.
Mark Watson
