I'm Looking At Buying A Pressure Washer From A Buddy
My friend got a pressure washer in trade and has no use for it. I've been getting into more of the handyman stuff the last year and I was looking for one and this may be it. It's a WAP? brand? It's yellow, about 3 feet long, heavy as hell and has 3 knobs on the front and a gauge below them. and a clear plastic side tank on it. It comes with 2 different size guns. It runs on 110. Can you give me the rundown if they are decent units and a ballpark on what I should offer him? Thanks and feel free to call me an idiot

Re: I'm Looking At Buying A Pressure Washer From A Buddy
I know very little about pressure washers but did find this, Link.
 From the link: Quote:
If it requires 30 amps, that ain't good. Find out the requirements because for 30 amps you will not be able to just plug it into a standard household receptacle. .

Go gas, man. A machine with a good engine will keep you in good shape as long as you change the oil frequently and the plug every month or two (depending on how often you use it).
