I'll rent it.
I use my power washer more than once a year and when this new attachment arrives, that will also be used more than once a year.

It's nice also to have the flexibility of not having to do the entire job at once, as in the case when you rent something.

That said....I do appreciate the concept of not having one more piece of equipment to take up space. But I have other stuff taking up space I need to get rid of first....my current cross to bear...

I can vouch that those high pressure scrubbers work, here I am testing it on the fence:

Heads up for those of use with gas powered washers. The pumps wear, lose pressure. Mine started cycling also. Previously I've tossed them, as the rebuilds were costly. This time I bought a new pump from Amazon for about $70. Can't believe how much power it has now.

Easy swap. 2 types, horizontal and vertical engine, just double check the shaft size.

Great to know. I run a pump lubricant in mine (when I think of it) after use. Wonder if that will help, although $70 isn't a bad fix.

I replaced a pump which wasn't difficult but expensive.

Now I hold the trigger when starting the engine (less load on engine), and try to keep spraying while it's running (less pump bounce).

I've been meaning to get one of these and this thread reminded me so I bought one.

Got a long driveway, deck, pool deck and lots of concrete walk ways. I rented one a while back and it worked great but was 50% the cost to just buy one, plus I had to get everything done in one day, so buying made sense for me.

An unfortunate occurrence of bad timing from 2 back to back posts.
