I almost bought one of these from Home Depot once, but never got around to it....not sure what you'd consider a "good price" though. Looks like a nice unit to me.

Edit: It appears the link is not going directly to the product I found. Well, it is a Husky electric power washer at $169.

The husky 1750 is a pretty good electric washer

They were on sale 2 months ago for $99

maybe they'll go back on sale soon.

Thats what I hate about Home Depot, I've bought items there and the next week they go on sale.

I had that Husky and returned it, the PSI rating was fiction. I have had 2 Kaarchers and while they work, they are a little fragile. My gun handle has broken 2x and the hose is rigid and does not include a swivel on either end making winding up the hose a pain.

If anyone knows of a decent, full-featured, electric pressure washer under $400, Ill buy it. I like to clean the house with it also. The Kaarcher units dont have the power to clean the house properly. You'll also need a longer hose and a swivel on the hose to prevent tangling.

Those are on sale in the winter only. I saw them in Jan for $99. Now they are $169 again. Think Home Cheapo is marking thinkg up a bit?

My Home Depot one broke. I couldn't get the hose off to send it back for free repair. It's frozen on there. Frustrated, I took an aluminum bat to it and smashed the crap out of it.

I bought this one for weekend use with free shipping and it arrives today!

My father felt bad my HD broke (prior to using it as batting practice) so he gave me a $100 towards this one since the HD one was a birthday present.

I read awful things about the Karcher electrics and obviously the HD. I have a couple of other Campbell Hausfeld products that I like, so I figured I'd give this one a try. Plus it has a 2 year warranty I believe.

TOL sells the "Cam Spray" pressure washer, it's not cheap at around 500 bucks but it is first rate quality. I think cam spray makes cheaper pressure washers too, you might want to google the brand name.
