PSI is really overrated with PWs. Gallons Per min. (GPM) is better at showing "effective cleaning power". Mine is a 5HP gas w/ 2400PSI and 2.2GPM. It works great and was about $400. I also have the Cam Spray foam cannon.
I wouldn't buy a cheap one, as they don't last long. I have had some cheap electrics in the past and they burn up. My gas PW is 5 years old and gets a lot of use. Once you et a PW you will find other uses too. Washing your house siding, driveway, and garage floor.
To answer you question, the cheap one will probably work. Don't expect it to last long with heavy use. It may not make as foam, or clean as fast(not a big worry, thoug). It will do the job. I just try to point people in the direction the first time. Buying a few cheapies will cost as much (or more) than getting a mid priced PW that will last many years.
