what do you use it for?

I'm in need of a washer & have one in the shop that is old... not sure how old but cranks out 1650 psi and is gas powered. estimate so far to get it running (motor already runs...) is about $120. It needs a servicing on the pump and a regulator (MIA)...

My need is I have to clean the outside stucco on one of the rentals... it's never been cleaned and it looks like crap.
Other uses include:
cleaning the motor on the truck & car(lower pressure)
bug removal off the front (lower pressure)
cleaning the underside of the truck
cleaning masonry (brick)
cleaning the driveway (oil stains)

the one in the shop is a Karcher 3300 G which is a 1650 psi gas powered model... old from what the guy was saying...

this is the one I'm considering if the Karcher is not worth fixing (costs too much)...

what do you guys think?
any other uses?

 

That's not much pressure, I look around as they have got cheaper over the years

 

I use mine to clean the deck after the winter, and misc items on some of my project vehicles, works good. I've got a similar 2500 psi model, I don't think I'd try and repair the old one. lot of times it's just cheaper to replace than to fix, especially if the pump needs work.

Got myself one from sears 3000psi works real good. I cleen the concrete, deck, gutters, truck bed, quad, the wheeler pickup, garage floor also works good on wasp and bee nests.

 

so you guys think the brutepower one is a better way to go then... the model I showed you runs $260 @ walmart... looks to be a good deal from the research I've done...

 

I paid $400 for mine at sears, was going to get the cheaper model but this one was better built for $130 more.

 

well the one in the shop was free... plus $120 max to get it fixed. the real question here is 1650 enough or should I look for more. I like the 2500 psi brute one...price also makes it a good choice. the only thing I dont know is who made the pump and is it crap...

 

There are times that I definatly need the extra psi. Expecially when cleaning cement.

 

dont they have adjustable output pressures? or are you stuck with the pressure rating of the unit? I thought I saw some that were adjustable...

 

i got a real fancy one its 3500 max psi you can adjust the psi and i use it for anything getting caked on mud off cleaning the house the decks patios driveway whatever you could think of....
