Hi,

Long time reader, first time poster. I`m considering investing in a pressure washer and I`ve found a surprisingly affordable ($369) electric PW made by John Deere.



This model (HR-1250E1) features a triplex ceramic plunger pump but it is only a 1.75 GPM at 1250psi.



Is this enough to wash a car and use a foam gun satisfactorily? (without having to deal with size and fumes of a gas PW...)



Is a camspray PW with 2 GPM @ 1450psi really worth $1000?
