Since the mower thread has some traction today, give this a shot...
Looking to buy a pressure washer - gas, electric, or battery? Anyone have recomendations?
Currently have an electric one that's been junk since day 2. Maybe ran it for 5 hours total, and now it won't pressurize. Don't know of anyone who works on them so it's likely expensive junk.
Given that experience, I'm likely looking at gas or battery. For ~$300 at Menards can pick up the highest rated model on Consumer Reports, but they won't recommend it because has a 0 degree nozzle (supposedly dangerous). It's gas.
Can't get a battery model locally, and the highest rated CR models with pressures approaching the gas model run ~$700 which is way more than I want to spend.
Will be used for cleaning dryvit (stucco), stone retaining walls, shed siding, paver sidewalks & patio, etc.
