I bought this one from Home Depot, I liked the form factor and pretty much just use it to wash the car and light jobs around the house. I don't have a pool, but for the car, furniture and sidewalk it's perfect. I don't have a pool, but for the car, patio furniture and sidewalk it's perfect.

I got the same one you have dishdude. I hooked it up and it seems to be decent, definitely not a powerhouse but adequate. Got the 2 year free replacement warranty for $18.
Tomorrow I'm pressure washing the pool, will let you guys know how it did in case someone else is looking for one.
I bought the warranty too, for something like this it seemed like a no brainer. It does a good job, but it's not as powerful as the gas ones. For what I use it for, I am happy. I like that it won't tip over when I pull on the hose like all the other electrics. I don't have a pool, but for the car, patio furniture and sidewalk it does a good job.
