That one has 4-1/2 stars out of 5 from 823 people, however if you look at the bad reviews there are 62 people who gave it 1 star. You just can't find one that has flying colors all the way.

The HD Website said they have 34 in stock in Lady Lake.

If you buy one don't ever let it run dry, always have the water hose connected and turned on before you start it and shut it off with water pressure still going to the machine. water cools and lubricates the pump.
That is if you want it to last long time.

I brought one down here (wish I hadn't sold the one before I moved) I wanted to paint the house perimeter wall and needs pressure wash before the paint. Saved about 7 grand. But, I still young enough to do it myself. In ten years I'll be paying someone to do it, if I'm around then?
