Used Pressure Washers

[tonym63]

I am looking for a used pressure washer. I see a few on kiiji for under 100. Wondering which ones are good and which ones are not? Anyone got one for sale?

i got a 6.5hp 3100 psi from home depot for $299 in the spring, they have a 2900 psi on for the same price right now.

stay away from the pressure washers with cat pumps, they are garbage and parts are hard to come buy and expensive.

We use cat pumps in all our pig barns and the maintenance guys swear buy them, say they are the best out there. Oh ya I work for Hylife. And no problem getting parts either. Hey Tony I just got a Simoniz from my Dad and washed the brute tonight for the first time and it works like a dream. It has a 6hp gas and runs at 2500 psi. Works good enough for me.

Don't buy electric! Go to Costco and buy the Karcher they have there. It comes with a Honda motor, which you can't beat. I think it's a 5 or 6hp if I remember right. I've had mine for over 5 years now and it still works great. After the first year the coupling on the hose cracked so I asked them if they would exchange the hose. They said bring it back and we will exchange the whole pressure washer. I got a new washer and $50 in my pocket because the price went down since I bought the original one. Great deal and great washer!

Thats the same model etc etc I have and it works just great. I was not aware of that good repl. program...........thanks for the heads up !!

So far, I have not needed to repl. anything

you can buy electric..but buy Commercial grade. A commercial grade Karcher will run you $800 or so bucks. Anything out of the Wally world and Cdn tire are all residential units. But they are not bad depends how much you going to use them. Wally world has one for $50...heck...if you only use it couple times a year...maybe worth it...lol

All they said was as long as I had everything that came with it they would return it. I said well I don't have the box but have everything else and they said that's fine.

The hoses on those ones aren't the greatest but everything else works great. I just bought a better hose so now I have 50'. :)

Why would you spend $800 on an electric one and have to drag a cord around instead of buying a gas one that will blow it out of the water for around $500?

I am talking commercial....a gas powered commercial start at a grand and up....for anyone doing anything everyday...its the way to go...for the back yarder...the wally world and cdn tire thing is okay.

We own 4 commercials...a few electric(use inside the buildings) and some gas...outside.

The one at Costco is probably as close to a commercial unit as you could get at it's $500. I bet you could use that one on a daily basis and not have a problem. I would never buy electric. Sorry just my opinion.

110 v sucks
220 is the only electric to buy
i bought a gas 2900 PSI from crappy tire
works great, its the next step up from a 110v
and good enough for me.

your only using it to wash ur tightie whities anyway so a cheap gas one would do lol
