I have rented pressure washers that were in the 2500 psi. range. They were very powerful and even at times hard to control. This one though you have to be pretty close for really dirty cement but it does do the job the first time. I'm very pleased with the fact that this model is powerful, quiet and doesn't need gas! For the lady of this house this is GREAT! You can do it all and by yourself. For men, I would guess you probably want more power just because, but know this, this one will do the job. For the price and the fact that it doesn't need that ever expensive gasoline it's tops in my book. I'm really glad I bought it. Things I've cleaned in the past 3 days, gutters, pool cage, patio/lanai deck, lawn furniture and stucco exterior... the truck is next.

The price is right, right? Wrong - you will pay later, and dearly. My unit cost about $160. Cracked the nozzle tip - no problem I have seen numerous replacement nozzles - wrong, I have to replace the whole Vario wand attachment - cost $50 plus $17 S & H - this after light use occasionally for just over a year (out of warranty). Three of these and I will have bought a new unit (for a cheap plastic nozzle insert the size of a quarter). Plus the pressure hose and inlet hose fittings are cheap and nasty - you are better off buying a more expensive unit (ever wonder why these seem like such a good deal when all others around seem so expensive). You get what you pay for, very dissapointing from a company I had a high opinion of.

2.0 out of 5 stars I owned the Karcher 1600 psi and the water hose line cracked twice!, July 7, 2006

If Karcher has changed the hoses I apologize upfront, nonetheless, I paid good money for my 1600 Karcher from a big box store two and a half years ago. Right after the year warranty expired water sprung in 3 places from the (now brittle) hose line. Before you ask, I keep my pressure washer in our garage and the weather doesn't get extremely cold or hot. I noticed you would have to fight with the cord to get it to unkink itself or to wrap it after using. After I replaced the first cord (best price $30) I was EXTRA careful with it. One strategy that worked to unkink the cord was to hang it off our top deck (gently) to have the weight of the gun straighten out and make the hose cord more supple. But alas, again 1 year later, I sprung leaks in the hose once again. So, I just bought a Husky from the rival big box guys. I dare not buy a pressure washer I can't return locally. If anyone has suggestions about what can prevent this from happening I am open to them!
