Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Car washing, deck cleaning and house cleaning.
Car washing and deck cleaning I would just get an electric, but with house cleaning you might need a gas one. Don't know size of house. PSI needs will determine a lot.
Yeah, im skeptical of the electrical ones being powerful enough. I still like the gas powered ones and just bought one made by Honda a couple months ago. Starts on the first pull almost every time.
I don't know one from another, but do know you need to get one of these. Recently used my neighbor's to wash my boat and house. This nozzle is a fucking game changer.

My neighbor's that I use is a Honda powered one. If I give it a slow pull or two to prime it all up, then it will always crank 1st pull. I think his is 20 or so years old, never had an issue with it, he says.

Only way to go - cuts washing by 50% or more

I have an AR Blue Clean hand carried pressure washer. It works for what I want which is minor cleaning - washing my eaves, etc. I paid $99 for mine but see they are now selling for many times that. You can get a pressure washer for what you want for less than $100. Neighbor has one from Harbor Freight and it works just fine.
I put mine on a flat bed wagon and pull it so I don't have to carry it while its attached to the hose.

Just got one of these to pressure wash the driveway. Works like a champ.
Tried to attach the link to Amazon, but not sure it worked. Here’s a screenshot:

Anything over 2500psi is fine, and like the poster above said get a turbo tip for it. They oscillate the high pressure and clean a circle pattern but covers a lot of ground fast. You can get a washer from Sams for under $300. Also a low pressure chemical injector will help you out. Can add bleach to it for killing mildew on the house or soap for washing the car.
