Sooner or later you will want a power washer for your outdoor kennel. If you are like most people you will think you aren’t going to need one more than once in a while. You are probably right. The mistake comes in assuming you should get the least expensive model since you aren’t going to use it very often. We have tried a variety of simple hose attachment and they generally don’t get the job done. Also, the small electric models you can get at Home Depot or Sears just don’t cut it. The hoses kink and crack almost instantly and they can’t be replaced. You are also likely to find that the hose connection leaks like a sieve. It’s just not worth going cheap.
We were somewhat reluctant to go up a model but it is well worth it. We eventually moved up to to a gas powered Honda 2600 PSI washer, which is on the low end of power washers. This is probably more power than you need for power washing a dog kennel, but it is the next step up from the el cheapo models. It’s easy to use, starts easily and cleans really well. One word of caution – do not let the dogs get in the way of the stream. The same applies to you as well. I once mistakenly reached into the stream to move something. It literally blasted the skin off the back of my hand. So unless you want a few unplanned scars, be careful with your new power washer.
