Recommend a good power washer?

[TerryMason]

I've gone through 3 of the little Husky electric pressure washers over the last 4 years, and I think that it's time to step up to something nicer. Can someone recommend a good pressure washer for under $450? Are any of these things made in the US?

I have used a few gas powered pressure washers.Never had a problem they all had B/S engines usually around 5hp.

We just bought a Craftsman for around $279, works real well.

I got a cheap electric one from walmart beats the 5hp gas pressurewasher by like 25% and only paid like $65. gas one cost $438.

I hear ya', Terry! I've had it with the electric ones - never had one that would work a year after I bought it. Yeah, they're cheap..........but that's in more ways than one. I'll never have another one. I'm in the market, too, and will be following this thread. I'll have to investigate Bounty's Craftsman recommendation.

I ended up buying a craftsman pressure washer. It's got a Briggs and Straton engine, and looks to be good. I'll try it out this weekend and let you know if it's any good.
