Anyone out there trying to sell a pressure washer? i'm looking to buy one for my business and i would prefer it be better than 2500 psi.

any pressure washer owners out there have any tips on what i should or shouldnt buy when it comes to a pressure washer?

i'm considering buying this 2500 psi washer from lowes but i have little to no idea about what a good pressure washer entails.

any and all help is greatly appreciated. thanks!

 

What kind of business are you going to be doing with it? Just clean your office off or are you going into a power washing business. If you need just a basic one for ocasional use I would look at the roybi 7 horse power from homedepot I bought one to clean my mud trucks off with and it has worked great. I have used that model you were looking at and it just seemed really cheap. If you are looing at going into power washing business I would go to northern tool and look at their professional models. If they are out of your price range remember they have no interest financing for a year.

 

i'll mostly be doing driveways and houses. siding and brick houses primarily. i have help on financing but i'll definitely look into that deal at northern. thanks for the info. i had little to no idea about the diff between home use and commercial grade washers.

 

that one at lowes is pretty nice but im not real crazy about the removeable tips though. i got mine at home depot a few years back and it has the adjustable spray tip. the only bad thing about the cheaper pressure washers is the hose. mine lasted about 1 month. i went and got a much nicer hose and quick connects for it. way easier and i havent had any problems with it.

 

sams club has some pretty nice pressure washers as well.

 

This would probably be the one I looked at the honda and the north star pump is a great combination. It is also one of the nice honda motors not the cheap plastic home owner models. One thing I would also look at is to be a big enough pressure washer but not to big of one. One to big it will suck down alot more water and houses with wells it has a good chance of burning the well pump up. I would stick around 3000 psi the 2 to 3 gallons per minutes. http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/w...0617_200350617

 

i've looked for the adjustable tips but it seems like most all come with removables. if i have issues with it, i'll prolly upgrade to the adjustable tip. i plan on buying so nice hoses anyway because i want to try to get into doing rooftops as well.

sams says they're sold out which sucks. looked like they had some good ones.

/\ thanks for the info! good gouge. that was actually one of the ones from northern that i'm highly considering. either that or the one for 429 that is just under that one. i'm planning on staying on south side (norfolk, va beach, and maybe portsmouth) so hopefully i wont be running into problems with wells.
