I got a Homelite from Home Depot - 2800 PSI IIRC. About $400. About 5 years ago the pump broke - I bought a new 3100 PSI pump for it from Amazon for $100 and replaced it. I use my pressure washer a lot; everything up here has mold and/or moss and/or leave/needles on it, and I have used it to pressure wash tractors, skid steers, bulldozers, excavators, my driveway, my vehicles, windows, my shop roof and exterior walls and lots of other stuff.I finally gave up my Costco, Honda 11 HP, 4.4 gpm, 4000 psi pressure washer. Best one I have ever used, but I couldn't get it up the driveway from the shop anymore. That was an all day job - two small wheels and very heavy. It is the one that most rental stores use. Around $900.
I used to be able to lift it into my truck, but no more.
Lent it to my Grandson and I don't think that he drained the unit before putting it back in the unheated shop. Next time he used it, would not power up all of the way and was losing oil on the ground. I asked him if he drained it and he grumbled yes - bad day evidently.
I gave it to a friend that does work around my yard to see if he could fix it.
