Mine has different nozzles to change pressure

 

I would definately go with gas powered, I have an electric, works ok, but sucks finding power

 

Go to Lowes or the Home Depot and get a 3500psi, with the honda engine. Ive used the ^%$# out of mine 5 years with no probs.

 

gas powered seems to be the best way to go...

Watermelon, what do you use yours for?

 

The 3500 psi washer I have is used for the truck ,house ,driveway, And other peoples stuff if I have time to do it. I just change the nozzle for whatever pressure or spray pattern I want.If you rent one 4 times, the rental cost will pay for a new one. I think mine was 399 bucks at Lowes. You can spend as much as you want, just like anything else, But for a man that just needs one a few times a year Id go withthe one like I have. My buddy has a $1,200.00washer that he uses for his business and mine will wash just as good. Its all in what you want!! good luck and go with the Honda engine, They seem to crank the best hot or cold.

 

I would probably get a new pressure washer if I was you. The Bruteforce one you listed looks like a good choice. I havea DeVilbiss pressure washer with a 6 hp Briggs & Stratton engine that looks very similar. I bought it five years ago at Home Depot for around $300.

One thing I would recommend to all you guys is torun something like Karcher Pump Guard through the pump before each winter, or anytime you aren't going to use it for more than 30 days. It displaces the water and lubricates the seals in the pump. I think Sears also sells a Craftsman version. It comes in an aerosol can with a hose and connects to the water inlet like a garden hose.

 

well the old oneneeds parts that areobsolete so it's a no go on fixing it.

I did find an almost new one however for $175, works perfect.
