Hi guys and girls,

Just after a few thoughts on either of these machines, not looking at full days use, just the odd job here and there. Decks, path ways etc, mainly for damp or weather exposed, areas with slime or moss.

7384

7385

Budget will probably max at about $600, but would prefer $500 if possible.

Thanks, Brett

You can get some ripper little portable units for HALF those prices.
Keep looking.....

Stay right away from them big fella!

Buy one with a decent motor and pump.

I've got a Powerplay 6HP 205cc Briggs motor with an A/R pump (3000psi) and a Aussie Pumps Cougar with a 5.5HP Honda (2750PSI)

For what you need I'd recommend the Aussie Pumps, slightly cheaper and lighter. Aussie Pumps is $850 and the Powerplay is $999

The reason I mention having a brand name one is for replacement parts and the fact they start 1st or 2nd time instead of 10-15. (makes you look like an idiot on the job)

I got a ebay one 6-8 years ago, 7hp 3850psi (pretty optimistic prolly!), hasn't missed a beat - looks pretty identical to your second photo - only does the odd job every few months or more

Anyone have need for an extension lance for their high pressure cleaner.
I have a large job that would like some cleaning of second storey parts of their buildings and need to find a way other than a ladder.
