Just wondering if anyone here has had any good or bad experiences with
Home Depot's electric pressure washers?? *I just bought the H1700
model (1700 psi) and am primarily going to use it to wash the vehicles
I own. I thought the electric type washers would be more portable and
cleaner and cheaper to operate than the larger gas models. *Also I can
use it outside in the winter on nice (above freezing) sunny days and
then bring the washer back into the house to prevent freeze ups. *I
know McCullough also makes electric but dont know how well they
compare to the Home Depot brand?? *Thanks for any discussion on this.

* * * * I find it has marginal power, but it has the convenence of not
needed gasoline and if you don't have large areas, it will get the job
done, just slowly.

one.

You only get so much power out of 15a circuit, a few years ago Sears
had 20 and 30a models,maybe they still do. Few store carry 20 and 30a
units. I use a Karcher for 15a circuit, 10 yrs old , but it works as
well as 15a can and im happy most of the time.
