I have seen these Husky 1800 psi electric pressure washers at Home depot for about a 0.00 and I was wanting to know if these units are any good. I have read some user reviews on the Internet and have talked to some people about these and I am getting conflicting answers if they are any good. I was thinking about buying one to use around the home. Such as, cleaning the patio, porch, the driveway and so on. Any help will be appreciated. Thank You.

I used a Karcher 1500 psi model to clean a 100 foot driveway heavily soiled from oak leaves for 3 years and it worked great although a bit slow. Also used it to pressure wash a deck, garage and siding with no problems…I’d recommend them for minor jobs.
I have had one for oh three years and it gets daily use…
Still clickin’ along
I have the same one, too. Like Uncle Red – It’s been chuggin’ along like new for about 3-4 years.
I’ve had a couple of 1600-1800 psi electric pressure washers. They are light-duty washers. They will do large jobs(driveways), but it takes longer as the volumn of water/minute and PSI are less than a gas model. If your in no hurry, they will work, it may take all day.
Most of these are good. There is an issue with getting repair parts for the pumps. In general, you can’t buy parts. They make seal kits for the gas powered models but not the electrics for some reason. I guess you throw it away and buy a new one.
