Get one that has atleast 2000psi but not more than 3000psi. Get some good ladders too, as everything that gets wet is slippery and you will fall!. With too high a pressure you will blast the siding off the house or cut groves in it. Too low (ie 1500) is waay too slow and weak. The gas ones with a Honda motor are nice cuz they last, have a low oil shutoff. You can do lots of engine cleaning and concrete cleaning with a 2000psi unit.
If you go on the roof use ropes and a safety harness so WHEN you fall you don't fall off the house. Geoff |
