Default Need a powerwasher for alum siding

I have tried to find a business to powerwash my siding. 990 sq inside. On a hill so one side i can almost spit on the roof, the other twice. House on a hill so top is one story, bottom is 2. Did homeadvisor etc with nobody needing quick cash.
Looking for electric but i do not want the need to buy more hoses and cords.
My thought is to spend 300 bucks on a new one and offer the machine to whoever wants the job.

I would only use it once every 5 years but it could sound like a good deal to the washer buyer who does not have one.
Should I buy one and use it? Compared to giving it away for the cost of the job? This is not my forte.

Aluminum siding with awnings and other gross **** needing a wash. Sidewalk etc.

Will a 3000psi hurt siding?


If you are bored, i am a payer of cash.
If i could find one that sucks water from a big bucket I would check it out.

I'll check back after 100 political posts from the dumb ****s.

A neighbor was washing his with a power washer that had an extension.
Told me he once did it for a living. He said besides pressure what is
very important is water volume. I had a cheap electric one and it was
worthless and if not careful would streak the aluminum siding at nowhere
near 3000 psi.

My house is two story on a sloping lot but I can wash a lot of it with
an extension broom and normal pressure water.
