Pressure washers

[Mission408]

Thinking of getting a pressure washer that can take soap to wash vehicles with. Like the idea of a dedicated electeic unit for this. Cost isnt a factor just like the idea of an electric unit. I realize psi will be limited to 2000. Anyone have any experience washing cars with these that can chime in?

We use Hotsy’s at work. They will do whatever you want, possibly more than you need for a car. You can get 3000psi and 250 degrees water if needed. Well built units.

I'm a pressure washer dealer. Own Lone Star Pressure Equipment in San Antonio. Usually electric units from a big box stores are junk with terrible Chinese pumps that aren't easy to get replacement parts.

You looking at just personal / residential use?

My cell is 501-553-8276 if you want to talk about machines

We use a Karcher pressure washer at work to scrub and power wash the main deck and exterior bulkheads of the supply vessel I work on offshore. Great unit with plenty of power.

I have used a Lowe’s or HD (Ryobi maybe?) and HF electric pressure washers. Both suck. Quickly overheat the pump (I’m assuming) and quit on you until you let them cool down. Not a fan at all of electric. But I only have experience with those two

Exactly. There are far better options out there, even in small residential units. GPM is more important than PSI as well ...and most big box electric is very low GPM.

I know you said electric but this thing has been great to me! I use mine a ton on my boat, cars/truck, shop, house. Sips fuel and when you put the zero degree tip on, you can peel paint with it. My buddy also got one and has been impressed as well. A+ for the price

You can put soap in the tank located in the stand, it only pulls the soap with the white tip so you can stop the soap flow as you wish by changing tips.

Anybody have any experience with the harbor freight electric ones?

I bought an electric AR Blue Clean AR383 in 2015 from amazon and use it at least once a week, cleaning garage floor, trim, concrete, fence, wash cars, wash pool filters, atvs, etc. I have never had a problem with it. I've replaced o-rings in the connections once and it needs it again. I have two gas powered ones I bring out for heavy duty stuff, but that is not very often.
For applying soap, buy a $20 foamer attachment.

Still happy with it QB. When I was washing my deck and fence prior to staining it’s not hard to forget you are using an electric. It worked well. I had a gas one since 2000 and it hasn’t given me a reason to go back.
