About a month ago, I bought a Gas Pressure Washer from Sears. The washer was a snap to put together, and easy to operate. I used it to washer my Rototiller, and TC21D Tractor off without a hitch. I moved onto my next job washing the deck. The first thing that I learned is, that you can have too much pressure. The wood surface can be splintered if you have too much force. The next thing that happen was even worse, the pressure hose coiled, and got against the hot muffler [img]/forums/images/icons/frown.gif[/img] This I think is a flaw in design, but in my overzealous state, I was also a bit careless. A new hose costs around $30 with tax. After getting the new hose, I tried out the soap feature, it did a nice job, but I had a rough time keeping the hose in the soap solution. The hose is coiled from shipping, keeps curling up out of the soap. All this being said, for my first time using a washer, the Craftsman Washer is great for what I bought it for. I got it on sale for $399, that same price as the medium duty washer. I think I did OK. [img]/forums/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
