Refurbished Pressure Washer Reviews AR Blue Clean , Karcher, PowerStroke

Refurbished pressure washer units are an excellent way to save on a some meaningful dollars when you are looking to buy a pressure washer. To be clear there is a difference between refurbished or reconditioned washers and used pressure washers.

Used pressure washers often are units that a buyer may return due to poor performance or after discovering the unit does not meet their expectation. A used pressure washer is often sold in its state for example showing signs of wear, without original packaging, slightly damaged and possibly requiring your attention at an additional cost.

On the other hand factory refurbished washers are made to look like and have like-new quality whilst at the same time providing excellent dollar savings compared to new washer units. They also come with manufacturer warranty much in the same way as new pressure washers.

We find that reconditioned pressure washers perform as good as new. In some cases these are returned products by weekend workers who purchase the unit for use over a weekend and have nothing more to do with it afterwards.

The good news is that unlike most used washers, refurbished pressure washer units are tested before they go out onto the market. This means they work as efficiently meeting new washer product performance and specifications just as a new washer unit would. However, there could be significant differences in warranty issues. For example, instead of a 1 year warranty a refurb my only have 90 or 30 days warranty from the manufacturer.

That being said, you can enjoy massive savings through purchasing reconditioned washer units instead of new ones. It is common to make a saving of between 20% to 50% by purchasing a refurbished washer. Below are some pressure washer units that are often found refurbished. Such washers range from 1500 psi washers to as high as 3000psi or even heavy duty gas powered washers of 4000psi pressure output.

It has 35 feet of GFCI electric cord, a 20 foot long high pressure hose and a pump saving start-stop system which is operated using the trigger. Due to its small size and less demanding jobs this unit does not use quick connect nozzles but has an adjustable fan lance which is also known on some brands as the vario lance. This excludes the use of a helpful turbo nozzle.

This pressure washer has very high positive ratings. This is also an important tip to apply when looking for a refurb. Going for washers with already high ratings in reviews will likely help you stay away from uncharted waters considering that refurbs do not always enjoy the same warranty protection as new pressure washers.

At 4000 psi this pressure washer is considered a heavy duty unit which runs on gasoline fuel and often applied on professional and commercial job sites such as farms and construction sites. It is rarely used as a day to day home pressure washer not only because of the damaging power it has on most household items but also because of the engine noise and the gas fumes.

It runs on a Honda GX 390 engine and has an axial cam pump. Honda engines are highly respected because they are easy to start, durable and run quieter than other pressure washers such as Briggs and Stratton, for example. This is what makes Honda powered pressure washers extremely popular. The fact that it runs on a Honda is beneficial when getting it as refurbished unit as Honda is strong and lasts longer as already mentioned.
