T&T: Pressure washers; electric

One Christmas I gave 4 of my children a Karcher pressure washer as their
gift.  I had one and loved it.  None have broken and all have been used
extensively for house, car, boats and anything else that it could be used
on. This was about 8 years ago.

I now use mine to clean my boat and trailer after it is loaded from
saltwater.  I flush the trailer brakes and frame on the trailer, then wash
the boat's exterior...this all at the ramp immediately after the haul out.
I keep a Honda generator on the boat and the Karcher on the tow vehicle.
Fresh water comes from a 30 gal. tank on the truck for now.  I am going to
mount it on the trailer tongue soon.

They are inexpensive and very useful.  The only negative is,  that I wish
they were more powerful when doing the walks and driveway at home...they
work ok,  but are very slow compared to a larger gas powered model.  They
have one wand that spins the water as it exits for the tough stuff.

Hope this helps,
