[QUOTE="giles45shop, post: 697968, member: 5704"] Whatever you do, don't ever try a real pressure washer, otherwise there is really no further discussion necessary. I used to borrow my buddy's 2500-3000 psi big box store model to clean my dog kennels, horse trailers, house, etc. It works, but you are only cleaning a swath about 3-4" wide or less, so it took forever. I picked up a 13 hp honda with a gear driven Cat 45G pump and 100' hose off craigslist for $500. The cleaning power is a function of both pressure and volume, so a pressure washer that puts out 4000 psi at 2 gpm is not as good as 3500 at 3 gpm. This thing is a beast, it puts out 4.5 gpm at 3500 psi and will cut about a 12" strip. Drastically reduced cleaning times, so I can spend more time doing fun stuff and less time with chores. I let my buddy borrow mine and now his just sits in his garage :) [/QUOTE]
