Yes you did well!7 years, I believe I did well for a cheapo HF unit.
I'm on my second cheapo 2,500 psi Karcher which is now operating no better than a garden hose nozzle now after 5 years. My 20 year old 4,500 psi commercial gas powered unit still removes paint on 150 feet of hose. Get what you pay for. The wife wanted the cheapo unit to make it easier for cleaning windows and screens on the house.
