Anyone have an electric that is worth owning? It seems most complain that they are too weak to bother. Sears has a Black and Decker 1900 psi electric, along with the usual gas ones.

Sorry Keith. I didn't bother with an electric one. Went straight for a gas model.
FWIW, I love it.

Sears is royally pissing me off. I was going to buy the 1900 psi one, realized it was on sale today only for $80 off. Trying to buy online. I add to the cart and it comes up $229, even though it says on sale $149. Contacted customer service and they say it is a website error and try to order in an hour.

Here's the one I have and it's been fantastic for years. I don't remember what I paid for it though.

Thanks guys.

Cory, sadly I also missed a killed deal on a 2700 or 3000psi gas model too. I guess I'll be borrowing my friend's gas one again.

So I got impatient and bought this one:

GreenWorks - Product Detail - 1700 PSI Pressure Washer 1.4 GPM

So far so good. I'd say it is as powerful and effective as my friends 2500psi gas washer. We'll see how long it lasts.
