I was thinking of buying one. I really don't want a gas model because of the noise. I was thinking of getting one of the biggest electric models at something like 1900psi and 1,7gpm.

I'm in Canada so my choices are Husky at the home depot, Simoniz at Canadian Tire and probable some other models at RONA and Reno-Depot.

Will those models have enough pressure to get the mag wheels on my car clean?

it works pretty well. I use it mostly to take the alge/dirt/etc. off my patio, deck, and patio furniture. It also works well for cleaning up the fiberglass boat at the end of the season.

Combined with a quality wheel cleaning solution, it also does a good job on alloy wheels. Of course, using a wheel cleaning solution and a little elbow grease is much cheaper and does the job just as well.

The unit itself seems good enough but the sprayer is crap. The different spray wands get stuck in the handle and its almost impossible to get it apart. Like it was said below the electric ones make noise too. As much as an air compressor. If you can find an electric with quality attachments I would get it, otherwise go with a gas. They seem to have nicer attachments.

like power tools. I will definitely aim for an induction motor. Much less noise and more durable. Nothing about the motor type with Husky so I assume it's a cheap universal. The Karche seems to come with an induction motor.

have to push them in then turn them to get them out.

I have one as well. 1400psi. gets the job done. I got mine at big lots for 60 bucks.

I'm experiencing a loss of pressure. Not a total loss, but it's at like 75% of what it should be.

I thought maybe it was the o-rings so I replaced them but that didn't make a difference. It runs, but it never makes "full" pressure so it never shuts off (compare this to the shut-off that happens when the unit's turned on and fully pressurized but you aren't spraying). This constant running tells me it isn't a matter of there being an obstruction in the hose, wand, or spray head attachment. The unit itself isn't reaching full pressure. Any ideas? This thing is out of warranty and a few years old, but I probably have less than 25 total hours of use on it.

the nozzle broke, so i wheeled it in with the receipt and we got a brand new one without question. Gotta love that.
