    Westinghouse pressure washer

    So I've been in the market for a pressure washer..decided on a Simpson 3200,but since I'm not gonna need it much,I've decided to do a Westinghouse 3200.Price was a main factor in case I manage to mess it up,and I will.Simple easy to use.Plenty of power.What say you all?
