What you give up
Every choice has a cost
If you choose Giraffe Tools Grandfalls Pressure Washer Pro 100 ft

If you choose Active 2.0 Electric Pressure Washer
- The included 20-foot hose is short for driveway work, and the residential warranty excludes commercial use. Manufacturer-direct stock was unavailable during review.
