I started w/a 1,000 PSI electric. I replaced it with an 1800 PSI Honda powered Hot water PW. I thought I died and went to heaven, more cleaning power. Then I upgraded to a 3,000 PSI 5 gpm Delco. Then I started making money. A few months ago, I tried a small machine. 1400 psi, 2.3 gpm. I went back to the 3,000 psi/5 gpm. It gets the job done, faster and with less water than the small 110V PW. Current cost for a similar machine to my Delco, $4700.00. cost because the PW gets the job done, $priceless. I know a lot of hood cleaners like the small machine, but I like to make $100.00 an hour and go home to bed. I get really grouchy if I am up until 4:00
AM and only make $40-$45 per hour.
