I did some research on PW's a few years ago and came to the conclusion that unless you are paying $500 or more for the upgraded pump, off hand can't remember the type of pump, they are considered light duty.

Which is OK if you don't plan on using it much.

A buddy did buy a Simoniz and it calved in a few months. Though he did leave it hooked up to the water line, which can cause mineral build up.

I bought that cheap little yellow one, that Can Tire often has on sale for $50, a couple of years ago and it is still working, and has been used a lot.

It isn't very powerful compared to a car wash, but which cheap ones are.
