got a greenworks 1700 on sale on amazon for $80 then upgraded the hoses to obsessed garage's quick disconnect brass kit, 12' inlet hose, 25' kobrajet hose and MTM swivel sprayer/wand. he has kits for all the popular budget electric power washers. watch the videos on his test on all those electric power washers.

I use a cheap electrc pressure washer off amazon for washing cars specifically.
I sold my gas powerwasher 3k pressure As powerwashers take to long for basically every task and I was tired of winterizing yet another gas engine.
Last year it took me 4 days in free time to power wash all my concrete and house. This year it took me 2 hours 1 evening to do all my concrete. (870sqft), and a single day for the house. granted I will say the majority of the days last year was power washing the concrete.
My buddy told me about bleach. Basically If you pick cloudy days, use 10%-15% sodoum hyporchlorite mixed 1:1 with water. Use a battery or pump sprayer starting on a dry surface, then Keep surface moist for time then rinse. use a the hose you are going to rinse with and a 8 end hose end, on mist, and mist every couple minutes if it starts to evaporate but not wet, just moist. When its the end of time switch to flat and spray off
- concrete keep moist for 15-20 minutes then rinse
- house keep moist for 2-3 minutes then rinse. Don't let sit longer then 7 minutes on painted surfaces, or 5 minutes on vinyl.
- wood deck
It basically breaks organic bonds and acts as a surfactant lifting both dirt and organics to be rinsed away. Ill never power wash again, takes to long to get dirt out of surfaces evenly. Also sodium hyporchlorite degrades when it comes in contact with organic matter, so it doesn't persist washed away, as it breaks down so pretty safe to use.
Anyway sorry for the random rant about power washers... I just need one for washing cars.

I use this pressure washer for my professional detail shop.
Amazon Link:
Sun Joe SPX3001
There are various versions, I prefer this one since it has a reel & simply connect to water and electricity.
