What would you buy?......

I've had my karcher k5.85m for 2+ years an no issues. They are pricey but its definitely better made then the low cost karchers.

I'm kinda envious, my Karchers (forget the model #s, they were quite pricey, not "consumer grade" ones...) would die right on schedule as soon as the warranties expired. No remotely local service either...I went through a few thousand $ on 'em before I gave up. Heh heh, hope your luck holds out and that I didn't jinx you by posting this!
 
I just found out there is a local shop that does nothing but power washer repairs. I think I'm just going to take it to them for some TLC. I figure a head gasket and maybe they can make the pump leak free too.
 
Heh, I asked for help on the AG forum looking for an electric PW. Never really got a consensus, so I bought a Sears gas PW that should arrive tomorrow. I really wanted something that would last more than two years of light duty. The Karcher brand seemed like the best electric, then I found pages full of reviews that said it just wouldn't hold up. So gas it is.
 
Only thing I don't like about gas is after I foam the car I kill the engine. Then have to restart it after a few minutes.
 
I *loved* my gas pws....but not for detailing since I do that indoors.

ShawnF350- Hey, lucky you, having a pw place you can go to! Hopefully they'll get yours all sorted out.
