I agree, and since they are both manufactured in China, they are probably both the same.
The electric model selling here today will cost you $115 with shipping, which is for a used, refurbished machine. You can buy the same machine from Sam’s, except that it’s BRAND NEW. You pay $15 more for the new machine and you can bring it back if not completely satisfied.
I have nothing against buying a used, refurbished machine…but I expect to get a better discount than just $15.

Thanks for the tip re: the electric washer from Sam’s.
I’ve been on the fence every time I see pressure washers come up on woot. Comments are always mixed, with some people having great results and others having terrible results. The common link seems to be the refurbished part of the deal and it being very hit or miss. And with a limited use item like this, it takes that much longer to discover you got a bad one.
Not a knock against woot for not taking something like this back after multiple months have passed (I wouldn’t, either). Better to avoid the situation in the first place.
