Threw $150 down the drain on a cheap pressure washer from the flea market
I saw this electric pressure washer at a flea market in Denver for $50 and thought I was getting a steal... guy said it just needed a new hose. Got it home, ordered a $25 hose online, and it worked for about 10 minutes before the motor started smoking. Took it apart and found the piston seals were completely shot, probably from sitting in a damp shed for years. I spent another $75 on replacement parts trying to fix it before my buddy pointed out you can get a decent entry level unit at Home Depot for $120. Has anyone else gotten burned fixing something that was never worth fixing in the first place?
