Folks,
I'm newly registered here, but have been reading for a few days. I am now looking for a new, entry level machine. Just a little background....I have had a box store pressure washer for a few years to clean my house, sidewalks and patio. It's always worked, but slowly. Recently the pump died and I started looking for a new machine. Looking for information has brought me to this site. Over the last few days as I've read through a lot of informative posts, and discussing some of what I've learned with family members, I have decided to put my toes in the water and I think I will try my hand at this professionally. Initially, I'm thinking of houses, driveways and patios. Of course I have a lot to learn, and I'm not going to just jump in head-first. My son and son-in-law are also interested in this. We have a lot of friends and relatives who would like to offer up projects to learn with! I have been looking at a "Black Knight" direct drive unit (model 313) at Sun Brite. It is a 4000 psi, 4gpm unit for 1199. Can anyone offer any advice on this unit, or suggest other machines that would be good starters for about this price range? I don't want to spend a bunch just starting out, yet I need a good entry level machine to get me going and perhaps be a back-up down the road if things go well. Thanks for your insight and advice.
Jim
