Surface cleaner advice

Many thanks to all of you who do respond. It does shorten the learning curve a great deal. I owe quite a bit to this site and all of you veterans of the business. This site has prob saved me a great deal of time and money. Spent a massive amount of time reading.
 
With very little experience in other equipment, I'm very happy with my 19" Whisper classic. I'm not at a crawl, I think I'm moving pretty fast actually but again I don't have much to base it on. I'm also running 4000/4gpm and 100' of hose.
 
Have an 18" GP Hammerhead that I can't keep on the ground with 8 gpm. I run 4 gpm 4000 psi with 25/02s with no problem. I have a landa water jet that I can run either on but generally use 4 gpm for residential concrete.

That's what I use Al ... but with 4 gpm it works great if your not going to run it 8 hours a day. I mainly do soft wash roof and house cleaning but the hammerhead will get you in the game if your just starting out and you just want to test the water before taking the plunge into something like a Landa. Also, like Josh said, get the swivel with the grease fitting. Mine came with the sealed bearings and I trashed it pretty quick. I replaced the swivel that has the zerk fitting and it's still going strong.

I'll be moving up the the 19" Whisper Classic once the Hammerhead bites the dust.
 
You might be able to just buy a better swivel and spray bar from one of the vendors.
 
I've got a 20" whirlaway and a 24" with 3 tips, both ran at 4 gpm, and when working side by side, it seems both can be walked at about the same speed but the 24" does better because of the bigger area coverage.
Def wanting to upgrade to at least 5.5gpm this year.
