Power Washer Recommendation

[Drew]

Any of you tool time people out there have any Power Washer recommendations? Costco has a 2400psi Karcher for $299 and while I've used several different brands over the years, I've not owned any and don't know the reliability of any of the brands. Google didn't help for ratings either.

I was pricing them myself recently. I checked Lowes and Home Depot.

Lowes has one for $300 2350psi 2GPM 6.5 hp Briggs ans Stratton engine.

Home Depot has one for $419 2500psi 2.5GPM 5hp Honda engine.
I'm leaning towards the hONDA.

We have a Troy-Bilt with the 5 horse Honda engine that we got at Lowe's for @$300. We checked out all of them at Home Depot and Lowe's, and figured this was the best for us. We've stripped the rear deck prior to resealing, power washed the house, sprayed the mold and moss off all the patios and walks, and more. Great tool!

we're debating whether to buy one or hire someone to do the house every two years.

The Karcher at Costco at 2400 psi will do everything you want, Drew. That's not a bad price for a decent machine. It uses a 5 HP Honda engine. Honda engines are reliable and are pricey little numbers, so your $299.00 price tag is a good deal.
