    Have you tried renting one? If you only need it once in a while, it might save you some money.

    you want the quick change tips - which ever way you go
     
    depending on the job - look at hose ID when comparing washers ...
     
    Gas - Honda motor if the premium is not that high
     
    Electric - You Need a 20 Amp circuit maybe a 15 Amp depends on motor size & factor in the cost of a quality 10GA or 12 GA cord the appropriate length
     
    around your place only use ?  Electric is easy to store
     
    portability - gas ..... unless you have a portable generator
     
    Make sure you "empty the pump before storage" - most failures are from freezing damage (even in central FL)

    I use one too much to continually rent it I think....I also use it to soap down my car (no heavy PSI tho) .....and rinse the soap off...

    check Sam's Club & Costco if you have a membership
     
    2.5 G/min is middle of the road size
     
    that looks like a good unit in your link  
     
    check the dimensions to see where it will store out of the way
     
    I'm not sure about the quality (buy the extended warranty) - hard to beat the price at https://www.harborfreight.com

    I use electric and am now have a Greenworks Pro and they are available in 2300/2700/3000 PSI.  I have the 2300 and I like it.  Lowe's carries them. 
     
    Stay away from AR Blue, they are junk.
     
    As mentioned above, drain before storing.  Mine goes into the basement for the winter.

    I don't need a high pressure model (3000+ is fine) and i don't care if it takes longer to do the job....as long as it will do it..
     
    What I really care about is quality...I've never heard of Northstar myself, but a commercial pressure washer at a neighbors house was using a
    Northstar and swore by it....but he had the 8500 dollar version..(that's TOO much)..

    I looked at those when I was at Lowe's today...I've kind of settled on Gas tho..
