Which pressure washer to choose

I'm not sure if this is in the correct section or not, so feel free to move it.

I have a part time detail shop where we do a steady stream of auction cars and some retail as well. I've been open for a year, and I've been "getting by" on cheap-o pressure washers. I'm financially comfortable enough to buy a quality pressure washer right now, but I'm not sure where to look.

It needs to be electric, and I'd prefer around 1500psi. Quick disconnect tips are a plus. And I'd like to stay around the +- $1000 dollar mark. I need something reliable with good warranty support, and a unit that I can easily get parts for.

 

Look at the Kranzle pressure washer on Phil's site (Detailers Domain). I want to buy that thing. It's right up your alley. It's beautiful and Phil sells it.

Thanks, $1500 is a little too rich for my blood. I was actually looking at the K1120T before, but I don't have much experience with high-end units. I do use my pressure washer multiple times per day, so I need something that can keep up.

I just went with the Kranzle. I have a thread elsewhere here. It is built like a tank.

My criteria was:
1. prosumer pump - better consumer models run $300. Cannot say this will be trouble free but should be maintainable over time
2. built in hose reel
3. rugged (it weights almost 60 lbs), brass everywhere, solid attachments
4. 15A
5. adjustable pressure

 

awesome pick up!

 

Damn that does look well built. I didn't even know the kranzle was that much and was considering it. hehe

 

I have the AR610 from North America, weighs like 32lbs, quiet, adjustable PSI and well built. I've had it for a year and it's been a great tool.

I'd like to get an AR-610, but I can't find a business that will/can ship to Canada...

The Kanzle is a very nice unit. If I was making money detailing I wouldn't hesitate to buy one.

 

I just ordered the Kranzle unit from Phil today. This unit had every feature I was looking for and after shopping for several months I am glad I pulled the trigger and bought the Kranzle.

Phil, thank you for the personalized service.

Does anyone know of any inexpensive (and electric) power washers that are 2.0 GPM?

I was looking to get this, http://www.wayfair.com/MTM-Hydro-Pr...ottle-14.0263-MHD1010.html?refid=AC49-MHD1010, but see it requires 2 GPM which my current PW does not have.

Or is this type of foam lance only going to work well with a 'good' (i.e. $1,000+) power washer?
