good electric pressure washer?

Posted by Zephyr on February 17, 2009, 2:47 pm

Does anyone have a recommendation on a good electric pressure
washer?
I like the convenience of plugging in and not having to maintain
another gas engine.

something that I can easily and quickly spray down my cars with? I'd
like to be able to quickly wash my cars before parking them in the
garage for the evening
I live on a gravel road and it the dirt / mud / chloride ( in the
summer) eats at the wheels and undersides causing rust.

doesn't need to have tones of power, just be reliable

Any of the 120v models will work for you. (Karcher or similar) If you
want serious power, get a 240v model.

Forget electric if you really want to power wash something.

I think that page is crossed with the IRS website. The product specs say:

Consumer rear entry with 3ft. lance
