Electric Pressure Washer

Does anyone use an Electric Pressure Washer and how do you like it? I'm thinking about getting one for my mobile detailing shop to help speed things up but I haven't really heard good things about them. I'd get a gas one but they are just too heavy. Price is not really that important, I need something that is quality.
 
I went thru THREE Karchers b/4 I went for the the Hotsy Electric. I think it is wondrful, but, at $850, it is a little pricey, unless you're doing volume...

I bought an electric model from Sam's club and have used it without incident. It has a "mix" feature I've used several times as well. I dunno how well it would hold up in the long term since I have only had it for 4-5 months now.
 
I too went through a number of Karcher electric ones before I wised up, definitely avoid those! And while electrics have their advantages, they sure don't put out like a gas powered one. Might not be an issue depending on what you're doing with it.
 
You can get a three year warranty on the Karcher ones for only $15 from sams club so I'm still thinking about it. It's cheap

Heh heh, if my *three* Karcher electrics are any indication, you'll need that warranty. I hear you about lugging around anything heavier. Wonder if another brand might be a good idea though.
 
Unless it is a commercial version, you are probably going to have problems. Those made for the home detailer won't hold up to constant useage.
