$99: Kobalt Corded Electric Pressure Washer - 1700 psi - 1.2-gal./min - 17-lb

I got one of these last year on sale. Pretty handy around the house, good power for regular cleaning but if you want to do something like strip paint you will need a gas one.

I bought one earlier this year at Lowe's (for a similar price) and it's been great. Makes washing the car and random things around the house a lot easier and more fun.

I dont see any stock anywhere.

Is this good for cleaning decks, concrete and siding or not powerful enough?

1700 psi is good for these tasks.

How about cleaning fences?

I was going to get one from Rona, but went with Lowe's because of their $10 off email sign up.

Used it yesterday to pressure wash some concrete steps around the house. Did a fairly decent job, turbo nozzle works well.

It did make some weird noises here and there but that may have been because my hose got kinked.

Not bad for the price, but focus your expectations around the "light duty" rating

No stores seem to have stick? Or is stock track not working?

Same comments as already mentioned.

I bought this when it was on sale at Lowe’s for $99 - $10 email sign-up coupon.

Love how quick and simple it is to use.

It won’t pull paint off stone/concrete but it does all the light duty stuff like patio furniture, gutter/eaves trough and car wash.

The foam cannon is a little weak but it works.

Great little tool for a great price.

I just checked the 50 closest stores. The last one (London) has 33 in stock. None of the previous 49 had any.

$99 is regular price at Lowes, but local stock is limited and add to cart is acting up for Ontario. Plenty of stock in other provinces.

Anyone in London going to Rona/Lowes? snap one up for me!

I ordered this through Lowes last Thursday and paid through PayPal. I received a notice that the order was received and my PayPal was charged, as was my credit card.

Radio silence for a week, so I contacted online support today, who directed me to call the store. The store told me to call customer support because I paid through PayPal. Apparently they're having an issue with PayPal payments.

The person on the phone couldn't find my order for quite some time and had to get some help finding it using my contact info. She then told me she needed to call the store to ask why they didn't ship the item. She called me back and told me the store told her my payment was declined. I explained to her my PayPal and credit card both showed a charge was confirmed. Despite telling her this she continued to state that payment was declined several times. She them informed me the store doesn't have stock and I will be refunded in 2-3 weeks and I should contact PayPal if I'm not refunded. So my payment was declined but they'll issue a refund. Interesting.

I needed to get this rant off my chest. I won't be shopping at Lowes anytime soon. This isn't the first time using PayPal has caused me grief either. This is a prime example of why companies like Amazon are eating brick and mortar's lunch when it comes to online sales. What a joke.

Picked one up! Rona Pincourt had 10 or so left. Thanks op!

Just had a similar issue with needing to be refunded. 2 weeks of nonsense i had to do a charge back then the morons gave a tracking number to credit card company saying the order was delivered but the tracking number was for someone else in a different province haha. That then turned into another situation i had to call credit card and 45 minutes on the phone they reversed the charges.Never again

Got one, going to pick it up. Missed the Lowe's deal

Have you ever used a pressure washer before? Only curious, because it would answer your question on whether it's 'good'. It is morw than powerful enough if you're willing to put the elbow grease in.

I use two electric washers for my tasks. Don't do anywhere near as much cleaning to need a gas powered one and electricity super cheap for me as is water. I use a Karcher K5 premium 2000 psi and 1.45gpm and a Karcher K2 CCK from the Rona sale of 2 years ago on RFD where I got it for like $48. That is 1600 psi and 1.2gpm. Just 2 days ago I cleaned all the bricks, siding, concrete, asphalt and sidewalks with the K2. It took a while but it's done.

So it all depends on how much time you have. This pressure washer will clean what you want. It will just take longer and require more sweat than a 3000 psi, 2.5gpm gas powered one. These are more suited for light duty work such as cars, windows, sidings, pavers and bricks, decks, etc. If you have a massive property and tons of fencing, you may want to buy a more powerful one. But keep in mind you save water, and these are so light and barely make noise compared to gas ones.

I think this is just a rebadged Greenworks or Ryobi one in that vein. I don't know who supplies them. As long as you keep indoors during winter, the motor should hold up.

Pro tip for decks, siding, concrete, try and use an all purpose cleaner and or brush first to agitate and get as much dirt affected. Will clean that much better.

Brutal. Sorry to hear you had a similar experience.
