"I've had prior electric powerwashers and been tragically disappointmented when parts cracked, broke or just stopped operating within a few months. One had been a $100 Karcher, so I was hesitant to buy another one from that manufacturer, but this model #5.93 M is a totally different machine.
To begin with, it isn't flimsy. Part of a side panel was cracked upon opening the box but it was immediately replaced by the manufacturer after one phone call. It has a good range of variable power settings for the average homeowner (cleaning driveway with stains, pvc furniture back to white without bleach or cleaners, yet gentle enough to take only the dirt off and leave the painted surface without scars).
I would suggest buying the small click on/off connection to the garden hose because the threaded connector is plastic. A hook to hang the cords from would be nice too, but they're just window dressing. I wanted something that could clean all of my pavers that tend to turn green in the shade, wooden fence & deck, painted siding and my car. It does it all beautifully, without as much noise as my last powerwasher. The handle is very comfortable to hold/use for long periods of time, even for someone with small hands and weak grip. The wheels make it easy to maneuver and it has a long electric cord.
I'm glad that I decided to spend a little more for something with stronger internal parts that should last me in the long run. Even my darkly stained pressure treated deck returned to its original state with one easy going over. I got disappointed when I finally ran out of things to clean. This one's a keeper."
