 @Scrambler: my pressure washer is a Sun Joe Pressure Joe model SPX3000.  2030 PSI / 1.76 GPM / electric.  Bought it on Home Depot website 5 years ago and it has been trouble-free.  I bought a Karcher 15-inch surface cleaner attachment this spring to make cleaning sidewalks, driveway and patios easier.  Best $50 I ever spent.  If you are planning to buy a pressure washer, I would recommend buying one at least 2500 PSI.  Mine does a good job, but there are times I wish it had just a bit more pressure.

OK on more pressure, the ones I was looking at is a 3000 psi, Costco unit, not even sure of the name brand.

It will take me the ret of the summer just to decide which one but thanks for the info on the pressure, 2500 or more.

Everything is made is China, even when it says otherwise... I will start my search again with two criteria Made in the USA and high pressure rating.

Thanks for the reply, stay safe !  
I just thought on this a second... wonder if the gas units have more power or is it worth getting an electric unit, water and electricity, never mixed in my book !
LoL !

 YW!  It is my understanding that the gas-powered units usually go higher pressure, however, you can get electric units with high pressure ratings as well.  When I worked for John Deere, the shop had one they used to clean equipment that would darn near blow the paint off of things.  Yeah, water and electricity CAN be a bad combination, but the units are pretty well protected.

 Sorry to the Site for using this Forum to talk about Pressure Washers.

I looked on the Web, once you hit over 3K PSI the prices start to up fast, I even looked at Costco but the brands that are carried by the Web Store are different than I remember.

Thanks for the input guys !

It's super light. They say you can hang it on the wall when you arent using it. Gas powered ones are heavy and need wheels. Here's a one min video.

 Ah, okay.  It HAS wheels.  The pic you posted didn't show them, or I'm just to blind to see them.  Anyway, looks to be a decent machine!

 Looks good, Jeff!  Now, how about buzzing over here to Southern Indiana and giving mine the same TLC?  Mine hasn't been washed since October!

 I would need sanding, filler, paint, clear-coat, and about 100 hours labor to get my truck to look that good.

It arrives on the Aug 6th. I bought it mostly for washing the cars n trucks. I bought this particular one because it's the quietest too. If you are going to be doing house projects you probably want one with more psi.

 I spent a couple hours changing the oil & oil filter, checking all the fluid levels, & the tire pressure for my 00 Ranger & my wife's 99 Explorer Sport.

 Over the weekend I disassembled the front end of the Jalape±o (I can't say 2000 like mike can 'cause I gots 4) for the Mevotech TTX ball joints and arms.

I wanted to look at the bearings to see if I should replace them. I think I will though it isn't as bad as any other I have taken apart.

 The other side. After the 5th time it certainly gets easier doesn't it? You also collect an array of 21MM tools of all shapes and lengths.

 Damn! Looks to me like Jalape±o will drive like new after replacing those completely worn out parts. :-)

 Don't you have annual roadworthiness tests over there?

Here, those joints would have failed about 2 years back!

In real life they would have lasted 2 more years, and not fallen off. I just got sick of the noise.
