When I need a piece of equipment like this infrequently, I rent it.
I need a chain saw maybe once every couple of years. I go rent one for half a day, get a can of gas and a bottle of chain oil with it, it has a sharp chain, and it starts and runs well. When I am finished with it, I take it back and it is someone else's problem.

If you are going to use it a hour a two every month, you might be dollars ahead to get a little better unit that will last. Definitely get one that has a good warranty and access to service. I have been looking at the Husky's at Home Depot myself.
Back on the farm, we had problems with hoses coming apart and the spray plates loosing their ability to generate pressure. I should note that we used it hard and in a harsh environment so you should not have near the maintenance we had. Keep in mind that high pressure water is hard on seals so, good quality pays for itself over time.

I had an electric one for one day. Biggest piece of crap I've ever owned.
I used to rent a gas powered one a few times a year, for various chores, and that was ok.
This spring, I needed one to do the usual chores (patio, house siding, deck, walkways, ect) and I figured the rental costs for three days would just about pay for one, I bit the bullet, and bought one.
I bought a Craftsman 2300PSI gas powered model (Briggs & Stratton 6 horse). I paid about $260 on sale (and with the Craftsman club discount). Best damn money I have spent in a while. I have used the hell out of it, and so have my in-laws. It has more than paid for itself in rental fee savings, ($65 a day) and I have it to use whenever I need it.
You can see my exact model here:
