Question about water pressure washers.

Dear friends:

I've seen some ads for $79 water pressure washers (electrical ones-1300 psi and 1.7 gpm) and some $300 washers (based on Honda engines-2200 psi and 2.5 gpm). I have always wanted some pressure washers for cleaning up the driveway etc... but wondered whether the electrical ones are strong enough for these purposes. How much stronger is a 1300psi/1.7 gpm pressure washer compared to a regular water noozle set at the Jet position?

Thanks for your precious information.

Best regards,

Eric

believe me... its unbelievable. we have a 2300psi washer and that thing will burn a hole through your hand if you hold it within like 2 inches from the nozzle. Anything farther than that will be a nice cooling mist. But its a huuuuuge difference from a nozzle.

hmm, wonder what happened to my first post . . .

anyway, I have the karcher electric from Costco and it's perfect for around the house. I've used it to clean up concrete patio floors and the driveway, strip paint off of wooden fence and it can wash upper floor windows from the ground level.

Will a pressure washer strip stucco walls, if you attempt to clean them with it?

I've seen pressure washers used to clean and etch the existing stucco before doing a new color coat.
