Found a Husky 1800 PSI for $99 - too good to be true?

So I was at Home Depot picking up some sandpaper and saw they had the Husky 1800 PSI electric pressure washer on clearance for $99 (regularly $179). I almost grabbed it but I already got a gas one. For the price, seems like a no-brainer for light duty stuff. Anyone tried it? Worth it for driveway stains or just a toy?

I picked one up last month to clean my patio and it did a decent job on mildew, but don't expect to blast off years of grease like a gas model. The wand is a bit cheap and the hose kinks, but for $99? I'd say go for it. You can always return it if it doesn't live up to your expectations. Just don't drop it, the plastic housing feels fragile.

I've used that exact model. The PSI is rated at 1800 but that's at the pump, not the nozzle. Realistically you're getting maybe 1400 effective. Fine for car washing and light patio cleaning, but you'll need a surface cleaner for big areas. For $99, it's a steal. Just adjust your expectations. And check the fittings - some of them leak if you don't use Teflon tape. I'd say grab it before someone else does.

Alright, you two convinced me. I'm heading back tomorrow. Appreciate the heads up on the fittings, Pete. I'll grab some tape. Steve, thanks for the warning about the wand - I'll be careful. If it's still there, it's mine. I'll post a quick review after I break it in.
