Default Power washer recommendation...

Por favor.

I'd like to get a power washer to clean railings, siding , etc. I'd probably only use it 3-5 hrs. per year.

I'd really appreciate any recommendations on what might suit my needs and where to get it.

Thanks

Home Depot has an electric Ryobi unit for under 100.00 bucks...we bought one and it works great!

I had an electric one but it didn’t have enough pressure to clean the wood deck & railings. I replaced it with one from Home Depot. Was reasonably priced and had a listed 3500 psi. Probably actually operates at a lower pressure but does everything I need it to. I’ve see them there every year since.

Thumbs up Save with "Refurbished"...

I currently have three Ryobi electric power-washers (serving in three counties).

They're less than five years old, and continue to function well. I got all three through Amazon as "open-box-refurbished", and saved 60% of the usual sales price.

The least I paid at Amazon was $35 (while holding my breath!)....

ETA:
Extension power cords will cut its performance. It's better to use an extra length of supply- or power-hose.
