I bought a Karcher 210 (1300 psi) three years ago. It was used only for a few times (maybe 10 to 20 operational hours) and broke yesterday. There are a lot Karcher 1600 psi in Costco for less than $140.00. Not sure want to buy Karcher again. Any good quality and low cost washer there? Thanks.

My hubby has a Karcher also and I think it is a 1300 also. The hose broke and we found out it costs almost as much to replace as the washer costs to begin with. I don't want another one like that for sure.

Northern Tool has the 2600 / 2.5 gpm pressure washer on sale at 359.99.
Has the comet pump, 25' hose, tips, etc. Open charge account
and save additional 10 percent.......

I checked with Karcher company and the hose costs more than the pressure washer did new. I have not thought about Lowes' ect. for a replacement hose. I will ask, thanks.

What ever you do don,t get that electric Husky 1750 from Home Depot..

Lotta bad reports on that unit, I got one 2 years old, never used, that was broke..free.

Lota people don,t know it but you can never completely drain these units and they have to be stored in a place where they never freeze...the person that had it put some water in the unit just to test it, then kept it in unheated garage..

At any rate I have been waiting on parts for a month, after 2 weeks I sent email, no reply, they don,t answer..so I call them, after 18 days..They say they are back ordered and waiting on parts from Italy..

Parts are way over priced, we figure you could spend a $1,000 or more on that $169 power washer just on parts and not have a complete unit..

Consumer reports rates the Krachen as a better unit and I see them for $135 at Menard's and Sam's..

I don,t think either unit is that good even for only occasional home use,,they are just not made to last very long..or repair..

I have found it is better to spend the extra $100 on things such as these.
I would rather spend money up front than have it break and pay the +$100 later.
The pumps from Northern have 2 year warrenty and they repair them on the spot.
Stay away from electric & Karcher pumps...............

All the motors today seem to be good..Everything else will wear out before the motor will.!

At this time of year everybody is starting to put them on sale..Local Big lot stores here,(there kind of like a overstock outlet store) have 5 HP Honda, Kracher pump on them, looks like nice heavy duty unit, ballon tires, metal spray wand what have you for 239..

Tried everything to get free shipping or 10% discount. Nothing worked. Home Depot, right now, has their $699 presssure washer on sale for $599 thru labor day. With a 10% eBay coupon, you can get it for $540. It comes with the Honda OHV engine, CAT pump, 2800 PSI (CAT pump is supposidly better thant Comet + I don't think Northern Tool's Honda Engine is the OHV over head valve).

Unfortuantely, I would have to pay tax, bringing the HD one to around $590 vs. $500 Nothern Tool. Northern Tool doesn't come fully assembled either and if something goes wrong, you would have to pay for shipping charges to send back to fix or replace. It would have been nice to get this from Northern Tool for $450, but the manager said that it has to be apples to apples to price match and since they make their own, they wouldn't be able to do it. Looks like I'm going to HD.
