I have one of these under my house that the previous owners left. Maybe I need to put it on Ebay.

Okay. Again, I'm sure CA will be just fine. Really don't get the bizarre hatred for random states, and it's a weird both sides thing. One side goes after CA and NY, the other FL and TX. Big ole whatever from me.

Personally, I love the electric stuff. I have a fairly large yard but it's not massive like a giant field. Works for me and I don't need to charge the battery constantly or anything.
How many acres

Actually, they have asked many residential areas to not plant grass on their yards to save water. Many have front yards with desert motifs, and local plants and cactus. Some look really cool, to be honest. Some use artificial turf, which doesn't float my boat, but then a lot of the yards are small by Kentucky standards, for obvious reasons ($$$$$$)
I know the place. Lived in the San Diego area for 9 years working for a major defense contractor that has since left the state due to excessive progressive taxes. Left in fall 1995.

During the constant droughts we were all pushed to save our bath water to fill the toilet. The city water was the worst tasting/smelling I’ve ever experienced. The only good thing about the place was the weather. Best in the country if you like warm weather, IMO.

This the same state that decriminalized theft?
Prostitution is OK in CA......as are almost all misdemeanors............this is the damn hallmark of Marxism........create a lawlessness situation so the Fed's can move in and enforce their laws.........it is happening in Louisville as I type this message..........the DOJ is partnering with (sic) police department to try to reign in the crime in this city......the people that vote for the Left are either blind or stupid...........there is no other plausible explanation.......

Well, you can give me all the drugs, whores, and free goods you want, but if I can’t fire up my echo lawn equipment and huff that sweet 2 stroke exhaust, I ain’t stepping foot in your stupid state.

If that one would've had a splint with some baling wire on it..............it would be just like the one I paid my dues on.............before we got modernized with a gas mower........about the same time I left home......I was mowing my grandfathers front grass and he told me he was going to get rid of it since it didn't really cut grass to well........he gave it to my old man.......my old man thought it was a wonderful mower........only I was the one who had to use it.......damn thing was wonderful because it was free........

Hey it's okay if you want to be held to a different standard than the people you vote into office. I don't feel they should tell me to do one thing when they are not obligated to the same standard.
Sort of like presidents who won't release their tax returns, but want to change all the tax laws, got it

...if it's anything like all other recycling, they just ship it and pay China to dispose of it. Voila.

You buffoon..........you do realize there is no law that a sitting president has to divulge his taxes don't you.......OR are you talking about the sitting president that seemingly owes $500k in taxes......no you are not........you are OK with snooping at Trumps taxes on a damn fishing trip but not Biden who has problems with his taxes........you are so transparent in your hate for someone you will never know.....Did you send back the money that his nasty tax changes made to your income...........

Especially pressure/power washers. Last I saw, the heavy duty ones that you need for the toughest jobs aren't even made electric. PErhaps that has changed. I don't exactly keep tabs on the pressure washing equipment industry.

Indeed, if you need something powerful, you need gas. I have an electric SunJoe I got on Amazon Prime Day for like $120, 2030 PSI. It did my windows, siding, wood deck, soffits, metal gutters and even the cement house skirt and sidewalks.

Honestly one of the best purchases I've had recently. But yeah, if you're trying to get like rust off metal or some ****, I imagine it needs to be gas powered and upwards of 3,000psi.

You might be tired of hearing that, but it's very true.

Well, MH my friend and fellow UK football fan, you and I have never (that I can recall) ever discussed climate change, so won't hazard a guess about your thoughts on that matter.

But I will say those that want to just dismiss legislation by saying "The politicians who passed this law need to quit driving gas hog SUV's and flying coach instead of private jets if they are so concerned about the environment. Until then don't preach to me about global warming" are generally those that think climate change is total BS, think most any action to mitigate the problem is left wing commie BS, and wouldn't care if Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell, and Ted Cruz resigned from the Senate tomorrow to form their own Save the Planet PAC, they just don't agree it is an issue, and blaming politicians is just one more reason to dismiss the idea out of hand.

Now, to be fair, I don't know CreedBratton, he/she may be a Sierra Club member, a long time Save the Land tree hugging liberal, that devotes all his/her free time to environmental causes, if so, I beg his forgiveness to have got his POV so wrong.

How well did it work in the concrete? We have a concrete patio with years and years of mildew built up on it from where rain drips off the roof

Super well. You can see in this photo the lines where the power washer went on the right piece (I did it half-assed in about 5 min), and where the other piece of concrete on the left that I didn't hit at all. If I would have spent a little more time I could have made the larger piece fully cleaned up.

Still need to do the siding pictured, but other parts of the siding came out perfect. Only one or two areas I couldn't get cleaned, and I think they were legitimately stained over decades of weathering.

Wait! They eat steak? Beef steak? Those methane gas releasing, global warming critters on four feet? The same ones they want me to quit raising and selling, for my glamorous lifestyle? Surely, you jest.

Can you link me the model you bought? Should be able to just look it up in your Amazon order history

Absolutely.



Now, I only got this because for Prime day it was like $120, and I knew I would use it eventually. Never used SunJoe before, and to be clear, it's electric, not battery. But it passed every test I threw at it.

My next door neighbor back in Tennessee mows and weed eats his yard every 3-4 days regardless if it needs it or not, and he uses his GD leaf blower not only to blow the grass off his driveway and sidewalk, but it's not unusual to see this dude out there just randomly using it to blow any perceived grit or dirt off on the days he doesn't mow. He's a nice guy, but sometimes if we're sitting on the porch trying to relax or grilling out, I'd like to rip that blower out of his hands and smash it into pieces in his driveway.

I just purchased a Westinghouse 3200 psi power washer from Amazon for $309 (I think) it could've been more.....anyway that rascal will clean anything.......I had washed the dog bed many times with the old power washer.........almost screwed it up with this one.....and......the concrete around the bed got washed so now I have to do the drive.......it has/had many years of GE black crap on it.......it looks like new where I over sprayed the bed.....I had the 45 degree nozzle in it....wouldn't want to use anything less unless I am drilling holes.....

Electric surpassed gas powered units about 5 years ago. Just makes sense to go electric for most people. Don't think should be a crime to still go gas power just dumb.

Obviously government over-reach.. but come on, battery powered lawn care equipment is sooooo damn convenient. I'll never own anything gas powered unless unless it's for commercial use or there isn't an electric version.
Do you own a gas powered vehicle?
