Wanting to buy a gas powered pressure washer. Read the myths, etc (psi isnt always the most important feature, etc). and now am picking a brand and model.
Costco and Sams carry decent Karcher models, the only thing Im unsure of is the pump....its built by Karcher, so its probably a couple steps above the HD-type models, but not as good as Cat (or maybe even AR?)
Lowes has a decent Toro (or maybe it was Troy Bilt?), 2500 psi 2.7GPM with what looks to be an AR pump. Comparing that to a Karcher 3000 psi 2.5GPM with Karcher pump, what might be the better model? The engines are a wash, they both come with Honda GC series. The Lowes model is actually a little cheaper, I assume because of the less psi (which may or may not be a huge deal). I might be able to use the extra psi, as I plan to remove stains from concrete, etc. with it, but Im not sure if the 500 psi is worth getting a lesser brand pump.
So in a nutshell, how are Karcher pumps? If they are good it seems the Costco model might be the best fit, otherwise the Lowes one seems to be good.
Thanks in advance.
