Default Portable pressure washer?

I'm wondering if anyone uses a portable pressure to clean their ATV? I'm interested in a gas powered one in the 5 hp range. I need suggestions please. Thanks..

Hey,

I use an electric pressure washer, 1700 PSI, and it works great !!

I've never used a gas powered washer. How strong is the one you're looking at ?

I have a gas troy bilt pressure washer. 2.2 gallons per minute / 2200 psi 5.5hp. It easily does the job. Just remember not to use anything less than a 15 degree spray tip or you can cut the plastic with it! Stickers gone, grease gone, and yes all mud gone.

P.S. get the turbo tip that spins the water stream. It is amazing what will come off with that thing[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Haven't looked at electric models. Can you plug them in to 110? I want something compareable to the pressure of a car wash or a touch more. Thanks again.
