[Merged] Husky Electric Pressure Washer 1650 PSI - $99 at Home Depot ($80 off)

[nabeelshah]

I don't think this is posted anywhere in the forums. If it is please don't bite my head off.

I think this is a steal for a good (green) pressure washer that will fill most household needs.

Note that it's electric not gas. It's in the flyer for this week and I think it's available four days only sale Apr 2-5. It says $179.00 online but in the ad for this week it's $80 off.

Good luck!

Good deal.

I would think returns would be easier at HD than at Canadian Tire for their Simoniz washers.

CT makes you deal with the repair facilities directly.

If my Simoniz washer didn't still work, I'd grab one of these.

Thanks OP!

[Pr0metheus]

it has decent reviews. might pick one up. thanks.

[hiltzman]

I picked one of these up for $79 last spring, works great for light duty cleaning!

I bought the Active Electric Pressure Washer at $80 from Canadiantire 2 weeks ago, have not tried it yet.

http://www.canadiantire.ca/browse/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=84552444329 9090&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=1408474396673731&bmUID=1238690874025&deptid=1408474396672561&ctgrid=1408474396672405&subctgrid=1408474396673731

I wonder if this Husky is a better brand or a better product.should I return the Canadiantire one?

Thanks OP. Looks good, does this have other accessories you can buy for it?

I was looking for other accessories as well, but couldn't find a definitive answer on it. I found a few generic pressure washer replacement wands/gun, but that's about it.

Anyone have any experience with Husky pressure washers? Googled some reviews and they seem quite bad... especially the 1750psi model...:confused:

What?! You don't trust the Home Depot reviews?! :D

The more i've read about husky pressure washer the more im convinced to stay away from this brand... from the general opinions this is comparable to Simoniz from CT. And HD refuse to accept returns of broken washers after 90days :S...

This one is 1650 so it might not be an issue. I'm afraid of touching anything with a Simoniz brand on it since all the bad reviews here on RFD. I was hoping that Husky would be better.

+1 stay away from Simoniz. Nothing but bad things I hear about it.

I think I am going to stay away from this one :cheesygri

Looks like quality control is absent so yes, stay away but for some of the comments in that thread, let's face it - buying an $89 pressure washer is like buying a $9 coffee maker. If you buy at the very low end of the price point you can't expect build quality suitable for use every day and/or under extreme conditions.

Totally agree but even 200$+ models do not look any better. I'm pretty sure general assumption is - electric power washer = very light household use so build quality is appropriate. Want something which will last under moderate use - buy a gas one but do not expect it be that cheap (I do have HD model with docking station and it's still working after 3 years but I use it may be 2-3 times a season).

I bought mine yesterday but have not opened it up. I think I'm going to return it! Is there any affordable washer out there under $150 that people actually recommend...Simoniz, Husky, Kracher all seem to be out of question now.

I wanted something small since I'll only be using it a few times a year (spring & fall) and saw a POWER WASHER brand pressure washer going for $99 instead of the usually $179.

1650 PSI with onboard chem tank so I said what the hell and picked it up, paid an extra $9 to guarantee it for 2 years. Tried it out as soon as I got home and "WOW". Very powerful little unit. I only wanted to clean my patio stones but ended cleaning my exterior windows, doors, siding, fence and bbq. I just couldn't put it down. :cheesygri

[felix2000]

Was it this one?

LINK (http://www.homedepot.ca/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CatalogSearchResultView?D=948724&Ntt=948724&catalogId=10051&langId=-15&storeId=10051&Dx=mode+matchallpartial&Ntx=mode+matchall&recN=0&N=0&Ntk=P_PartNumber)

Was this an in store sale only? Which Store did you get it from?

Thanks

[Bidou78]

That's the one. I'm located in Ottawa and seen these on sale in 2 different locations, Kanata HD and South Keys HD. Picked mine up at South Keys.

It would seem to me that it is an in-store sale given that the link provided still says it's $179.00

It also would seem like a chain wide sale given that the price was the same in 2 different locations.

[jayoldschool]

Got the same one last year when it was on sale. Works great, even on low well pressure. Hopefully it still works this year!

I am curious to know as well. Never owned one before.

[Roll]

I would also like to know what is a good model...around $150 or so...thanks

Bought one of these last week. Used it for the first time and the low pressure setting that releases the detergent did not work. As well the machine started crapping out after 1/2 hour of use.

[Rekognize]

Bought one of these when it went on sale last December for $89, it just started leaking like a mofo making it unusable. Returned it yesterday and got a store credit. Will not buy again, I'm going to save and spend an extra $200 towards the gas powered ones.
