I bought one at Costco maybe 10 to 15 years ago when they were a new thing. At that time, they cost $299. Mine is a 1,200 psi model, and I've used it a bunch over the years so it's paid for itself. At Costco the other day I saw they had models that put out 1,600 or 1,800 psi (don't know what the GPM output is) for a lot cheaper than I paid for mine.
The only problems I've had with mine were the housing cracking (this one you have to pick up like a suit case), which I fixed with through bolts and the pressure spring quit working. I fixed the spring by flushing with WD40 and lubricant. Now I put a little WD40 in it each time I use it & turn it up to drain the water out. Maybe it will last another 10 to 15 years.
