Pressure Washers Direct - Any Experience
I am in the process of starting to replace all of the things I had stolen from me last week and high on the list is my pressure washer...The Generac model I had is now discontinued however they have newer models with same specs.

I was going to order from Home Depot but then stumbled upon Pressure Washers Direct. If I go this route I save 8.1% sales tax and they seem to have good reviews but I have never dealt with them.

I've not dealt with that side of their house, but have bought from Generators direct and was a good experience. The generator shipped and arrived a few days prior to what I expected.

Thanks...I have not been able to find anything bad about them. The ONLY reason I am thinking baout just buying through Home Depot is that they are local if there are issues and they have a one year return policy if you use you card

If you have a Costco/Sams check with them, you may find you get a better unit at a good price and Costcos return policy is excellent.

I still have my Honda powered unit I bought at Sams maybe 15 years ago, it even survived my wife taking it for a swim in the pool LOL

Get at least 3000 to 3500 PSI so it can push all the attachments easily.

I am replacing a Genrac 3100 psi unit that was stolen. I really like the Genrac over my old Excel and the "newer" version is a 3200 psi so, as long as insurance doesn't try and screw me I am gettign a slight upgrade

You don't want a vertical mount pump. Those are throw away units in my opinion. Maybe for washing a car or spraying off outdoor furniture, but it will be seriously lacking if trying to do any large, flat surfaces.

I bought mine from a place called SprayMall spraymall back in the early 2000's

Focus on Gallons per Minute over PSI within reason. 3000psi is more than enough pressure for residential chores.
