On my way home from lunch with my parents, I decided to stop by the Big Lots to see if there were any electric Karchers on super sale. There was an opened 1750 psi box and numerous 1400 psi ones. I turned the corner and saw 2 of these: When I finally found the price, I was like :yikes: ! So, for $288.00 + tax, I've got this baby:
I hope I don't shoot my eye out, for real. NOT going to try this out on the car until after I get comfortable with it hitting the concrete on my porch and back steps.
If the weather holds up, I'll give this badboy a dance after work today...and maybe terrorize some squirrels while I'm at it. BTW, I'm not a big guy; I'm 5'6" and weigh 155lbs (last time I checked). I'm envisioning a comical scene when I first use this cuz the gun and barrel are almost as long as I am tall! I need to clean the driveway, unstain the back concrete steps, and strip the concrete paint on the front porch so I can level and resurface it with some latex 'crete.
Nice score... I've seen those at my local big lots but decided on the more prtable electric model I say you do some rock carvings with this beast....lol
I went back to check it out and didn't feel comfortable paying nearly 300 for a reconditioned PW. Let alone, 2500 PSI is overkill for a car by quite a bit. Is there a pressure adjustment on it? Can you change how much pressure it outputs?
No pressure adjustment. It comes with different nozzle tips as you can see. I used the white 40* tip today just to test it out on the driveway and when I backed the tip away, the strength of the water pressure decreased significantly. The ability to use this on a car is just a bonus, really. And this thing should last me for a long time.
i would be careful with that monster. you may tear the paint off the cars. can deffinately put out a window on car and house. just be very careful
