I did get the Yard Force electric washer from Sam's. They list it as model YF2200LC. The price with tax and shipping was under $245. One thing seemed out of whack on the order was shipping quoted at only $5.67. After I got the FedEx tracking number and could look at the shipment, I could see what evidently happened. FedEx had the weight as 5 pounds. They were off by about 50 pounds. My guess is Sam's computer has the wrong weight and FedEx just accepts whatever Sam's tells them. The expected delivery date seemed to change every time I checked status. Initially it was a week, then 2 days, etc. It actually took 4 days from when I entered the order.

Last week it was finally warm enough to try it out. The hose reel is a little on the clunky side but it works. It is water cooled, using the wash water to cool the motor. Consequently, it is limited to cold water. It would be nice if you could put warm water through it. I have not tried the soap injector yet. I just started by hitting the things I was cleaning with a pump bottle of Simple Green. It works pretty well and I'm happy with the way it runs.

I can recommend getting an attachment that does concrete as shown in the link..works great and doesnt make a huge mess.

A little late to this one but just in case someone comes along and reads it, I bought a Sunjoe SPX1500 in 2019 and have used the bejeebers out of it since without a single burp. 1740psi rated at 12amps, more than enough pressure. I've done all the vinyl siding, all the retaining walls, all the steps and stairs, the entire porch assembly prior to rebuilding it this summer, my son's Trex deck, even my split rail fence and posts, and much more. This thing is the cat's meow and less than $125. I got mine at Lowes but Amazon also carries it.
