All I've been able to find, without paying "big money", are unpowered units to buy (which would likely be better used to clean those battery power kid's Barbie and GIJoe cars) for about 200k.

I need to use a washer for a day to clean the filth and stench off the walls and cement walkways around my business. It shouldn't be industrial strength lest it rip the tiles up off the ground, but it should be strong enough to remove duct tape residue from tile walls.


Would appreciate suggestions, particularly those for western Seoul

So have not been able to find a single rental place. May just break down and buy one.

Has anyone here got a recommendation either on a good (price-conscious) unit to buy? Or perhaps a place to buy from?

So far I have these three options (far cheaper in the states but shipping is crazy expensive):

Anyone with more knowledge than I have want to chime in?

I've seen at least one model for sale at Costco at Sangbon station. Just an FYI.

Considering Costco's return policy, that might be an excellent option. Did yiu catch a model or manufacturer name?

Yeah, that's nice.

Just buy it, use it, and return it.

Make all of the rest of us pay for it in higher prices and membership fees.

Ah the famous Dave's attitude.

I simply meant that, if the washer purchased from Costco should leak or prove underpowered, as I've read many electric washers are prone to do, I could return it rather than get stuck with a 400k piece of garbage. But thank you for assuming that I am some socially irresponsible douchebag. You'll go far in life I'm sure.

It wasn't much of a stretch to come to that conclusion.

And it's good to see that if you did return it for no good reason after using it, you would, by your own admission, think of yourself as a douchebag.
