Spent $400 on a used pressure washer for my deck and it's a total mess now.
I bought it off a guy in town who said it ran fine, but the motor seized after two uses. The deck looks worse because the pressure was uneven and it gouged the wood in spots. I'm stuck between trying to fix this machine, which might cost another $200, or just cutting my losses and hiring a pro. Has anyone else had a tool fail this badly right after buying it?

That uneven pressure gouging the wood is a classic sign of using the wrong tip or holding the nozzle too close. A fan tip held at a consistent distance is key for wood. Fixing the washer might not be worth it if the pump is shot, which is often the priciest part.
