Hello to all,

Have a power washer that is 3400psi and 2.7gpm. The wand action just takes too long, so I was looking at orbital surface cleaners to clean cement shop flrs, wooden decks, etc. I have reviewed the ratings of 6-7 diff brands, and they vary all over the place. I feel you guys here are reliable, fair, honest and have good experience in many areas, so again seeking your advice.

Does anyone have an orbital powerwashing surface cleaner 12-14" that is both reliable and a quality product? Looking for something that wks w 3400psi and 2.7gpm p-washer; they say 4" of diameter for every gpm. So at 2.7gpm, that puts me right under 12". Any specific make and model that wks well and doesn't fall apart after 5-6 uses or after 1-2 yrs? Your comments [+ or -] will be my ratings scale.

thank you very much, tstex

A little smaller than your specs, but I have a Karcher T5 that I've had for several years now. It does great on patios, sidewalks and smooth driveways, and I also use it to clean the outside rugs. After doing rugs, the circular outer brush loads up with lint and needs to be taken out and cleaned, I blow it out with compressed air, easiest way. Hard plastic shell so it won't stand being slammed into a concrete step, but with reasonable care it should last well. You might see if one of their larger models is close to your specs.
