General Rent or Buy a Pressure Washer?

True. I neglect my pressure washer and leave it out in the garage. I can do that with my gas pressure washer and it'll start in the spring.
At work they have a Westinghouse electric that is used throughout the year including winter. It stays inside a garage near a large garage door. It freezes and stops working. Then thaws and works. It's a tank. Mine didn't thaw and work. It just thawed and died. I guess the takeaway I was going for was, if he decides to get an electric one, a Westinghouse is a good choice.
You should cover the walkway in the stuff you have surrounding it.Like a death trap just trying to walk into your house
Buy one if you want to do that much stuff. Pro tip, before you pressure wash the house, hit it with bleach water solution in a sprayer to kill the mold, the mold is what holds the dirt on, especially for decks and sidewalks.
I worked for a sparkle wash franchise for years. You can buy premixed gallon jugs but it's just bleach water. Do about a cup per gallon. If you have any ornamental shrubs or trees next to to the house, spray them with water and put plastic sheets over them, other wise the bleach can burn them. Also a cloudy day is the best day to do it on. Otherwise the sun will heat the shrubs up through the plastic and can burn them as well.

Just what I'm going to use mine for this summer and it will pay for itself, even though it already has.
If it shit the bed I'd go buy the exact same one again.

I have one of these, works great. I use it on front porch and back deck/ramp (former owner was in a wheelchair but it’s proved useful to me for delivering appliances, getting groceries inside, etc.), and washing the house siding. Never washed a vehicle with it but my stepdaughter used it on her car a couple of times.
Ideally I would have put a laughing emoji here but seeing as how my emoji’s haven’t worked for months on here all I can offer is a thumps up. 😂
Shit that's $400

Read the directions so you don't wreck it, seriously, it's easy to cavitate one if you don't run it right.
I was thinking maybe $150. I should sell that damn thing.
New in box you could get $325-350 easy. But that thing is pretty sweet, I like the design looks easier to store than mine.
I'm sure it does. Come with a battery? Those ain't cheap.
Some guys have all the luck
Ditto. Until 2/1 I had an iPhone 11 that the emojis worked on. Got an iPhone 16 for retirement/birthday and they don’t work on it. When I use my Android tablet they work.
