Grade: C
Water pressure/square inch: 2,000
Cleaning power: The machine doesn't come with a turbo nozzle. Read: Put on plenty of sunscreen - it'll take that much longer to clean your deck.
What's to like: It's lightweight and streamlined, so storage isn't much of a hassle.
What's not to like: Tim-berrrr! Unit is so lightweight, it can topple over. And it leaked at the garden-hose connection.
Bottom line: An okay pressure washer but no equal to the Husky, even though it's the same price.
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.
