What is a good power washer to do concrete, maybe wood fence, windows
and car? *That's all I can think of now and I probably would not use
it but 2 or 3 times a year for the next 10 years or so. *If I wash the
car with it, might use it a bit more. *I'd like it to be able to be
lifted and put into a car trunk for portability and easy on the budget
(in other words, don't want to buy the best).


Don't mean to start a flame war here as I know it's like asking about
what's the best car for me so I'm trying to give information to narrow
the choices here. * Can you recommend brands, gas or electric,
accessories, etc... . *If I omitted any information, just ask.


Last, is it possible to use it with some accessory for 2nd story
windows without going up a ladder?


Check out Northern Tool, they have plenty of PW units, telescopic poles
and other accessories. Any of the small units with a basic Honda GC
engine will do fine for light home use.- Hide quoted text -

Subject to the logistics, I would recommend an electric
one. They have enough power for typical home uses
and last thing I need is another gas engine that is rarely
used to worry about.
