Karcher 1750 PSI Pressure Washer

I bought the 1600psi model from Walmart 2 yrs ago. The wheels don’t really roll, the kind of just skid. After one year (4 uses) the pressure sprayer does not work. Haven’t taken it apart yet, but looking at the comments on this POS it probably will turnout to be a cracked lower pump housing.

I guess it’s a crap shoot on what you get. I bought mine on Dec 8, 2009 for $92 and it still works fine. I connected mine to the pressure release faucet on the hot water heater in the garage and use it at least once a month for pressure washing the garage floor & driveway and use it for washing my truck. No leaks or broken parts in 4 years. I do take care to make sure I turn the water off and release the pressure in the power washer before putting it away though.

I’ve been in the market for a light duty pressure washer for a while, but I’m leaning towards this 1800 PSI Campbell Hausfeld from Amazon for $109: http://goo.gl/nZf10D
