We have a brand here in UK called Karcher, very reliable, they are probably
world wide. Very satisfied with mine.

I've purchased a couple of Karcher electric pressure washers on eBay.  Both of
mine broke after one season's use.  Could be bad luck on my part, or my fault
for buying 'refurbished' on eBay.

I bought a small gas powered model at Sears that was on sale about 4 years ago
- it still starts on 1-2 pulls every time, even right out of the shed in the
spring.  Yes, it's about as noisy as running a lawn mower (maybe a little
less) but unlike the Karcher, most of the parts are not plastic.  It has 4
different tips for diffusing the spray.  I'm very satisfied with it.

I suppose the moral of the story is that unless you are willing to 'roll the
dice', buy one locally from an established company that offers service if you
have any trouble.
