Grade: B-plus
Water pressure/square inch: 1,800
Cleaning power: The Husky took care of most of the gunk and grime on the patio, thanks to the turbo nozzle. But it didn't work quite as quickly.
What's to like: Unit has very clear dials. Accessories store easily in side compartments.
What's not to like: One of the two detergent tanks can't be removed, making it more challenging to fill.
Bottom line: A cost-conscious alternative to the Campbell Hausfeld, and nearly as powerful.
CORRECTION: This story originally ran in the April 2007 issue of Money Magazine and rated five power washers. The Karcher model is not included in this online version because the model tested is no longer being made.
