I've read some threads here (and elsewhere) since I'm thinking of getting an electric pressure washer. I can always borrow my friend's gas-powered 2400 Kärcher if I need to, but it's too big to store in my 1-car garage, too loud, and too bulky to carry to the upstairs patios for cleaning. It seems the general consensus is that electric (typically Kärcher) models tend to fail within the year, or at least just outside the warranty period.

I'm thinking of the 3.47 model from Costco, however, in hopes that Kärcher has gotten a bit wise from reading Internet reviews and improved their models (one can always try to be optimistic). I'm mostly concerned about doing wheel wells, undercarriage, and the occasional road mud streaks during winter road splashes. I'm also (but not too much) entertaining the idea of running it through the CRSpotless DIC-20 that I have.
Anyone try this particular model? If it breaks, I guess I could take advantage of Costco's return policy at least.
