This has me now leaning to an electric option, but am concerned on quality, longevity, and functionality.
My primary uses will be for washing the house (soffits, gutters, siding, etc.) and hope to hook up a foam cannon for car washing as an after-thought. I figure I will pressure wash the driveway a few times while we live here and I'd probably need about 200 ft of a thick gauge extension cord. Is that even possible or a reasonable expense? Or would I be better off getting gas for that reason? ie: "cheap" electric pressure washer + expensive extension cord = similar price of a higher quality gas option
Echoing others' comments in here, I really can't justify the big money some of the offerings mentioned in the thread. $300-ish or less would be my budget.
I see that Karcher has their K1900 for a good price + includes a free surface cleaner.

Bummer. Really wanted to go electric on this purchase, but my math shows I'll need a 12, possibly 10 gauge extension cord of about 100 ft. That plus the pressure washer itself is going to push the $400+ mark.
I think I'm going to go the route of
flybigjet and get the Ryobi with the Honda motor. Fingers crossed.
