Buy or rent a pressure washer?

The daily rental for a 3000 psi pressure washer is $ 65. It has a
gasoline engine.
A new pressure washer from Harbor Freight costs $ 89. It is a 2 hp
electric unit and puts out 1,300 psi at 1.7 GPM.
I need a PW for cleaning stucco paint, removing spalling paint from
my concrete foundations and for cleaning up some lightly peeling
paint from my concrete patio, prior to painting.
If I owned a PW I would also use it for general cleanup around the
house. I could probably find lots of things to wash around the house,
including the dog.
Never used a PW before. I would appreciate any advice/opinions
regarding buying or renting.
I would be real careful about that stucco. More than one person has
damaged that stuff with a pressure washer. Remember that there are a number
of different kinds of stucco and some will not hold up to that kind of
cleaning.
