Default Parts washers: Go cheap?


I have one of the $69 ones. They're fine except that the pump
won't stand up to aggressive petroleum solvents, ie carb cleaner
and kerosene. If you use Simple Green or something like that,
it should last a long time. But if you use aggressive petroleum
solvents, you'll need a better pump.

Heh, I bought a small $40 one about 7 years ago.
My parents were pretty apprehensive about having flammable
solvents in the basement so I ran running Simple Green
though it. Well, it took all of about 2 days before
it gummed the pump all up. I ended up switching to a
diesel/paint thinner mix and moving it to the garage.
Still works fine for me.
