It seems like the one from detailer's domain is pretty much the best one since you can replace the pump/motor unlike most. If I get more serious I'll go for that one.
Did you end up getting this? if so how do you like it? I'm thinking about selling my craftsman and picking this up. I recently ordered an CR spotless so I'm looking for something that will take up a lot less room in the garage and being quiet is a big plus

After doing bunch of research finally settled on this one and has worked great so far, highly recommended. Thick foam, well designed and much sturdier (steel frame) than my prior Karcher K series.

I bought a 1600 PSI Karcher unit and it's all you'll need.

I have a Karcher K 5.740 I purchased new in November. Staidly, the unit is already leaking from the pump. It's covered under their warranty so shouldn't be an issue, but disappointing nevertheless less...

They have great customer service so you should have no issues. My parents have a unit that is almost as old as me and they serviced it last year no issues they still had parts.

The thing I hate about mine is that it's so damn big. I really like that little gas powered one recommended above and almost bought it. I also hate having to bust out this 100ft heavy gauge extension cord. Real hassle and I get dirt doing it. I live in a condo community.
The power on mine is definitely good enough and has a high gpm rate.
