Depends on what you want to spend, along with the amount of pressure you want to get out of it.
A decent +2000 psi 5-6HP name brand pressure washer will probably set you back $300-$400. Don't bother with the electric ones - they're prety much worthless for something as major as cleaning siding. I have a 6HP Craftsman from Sears (probably built by Generac or MTD) that was around $325 on sale last year. It will cut through a piece of wood with the pinpoint nozzle. It also has some sort of goofy "foam" nozzle that came with it, but I have never used it. I would look for a model with pressurized lubrication, for starts. Many of them also offer a setup with StaBil "packets" in the gas cap, which would be nice for someone in a temperate climate who isn't using the thing year 'round. Another thing to look for is a hose/gun/nozzle arrangement that comes apart. Otherwise, if something in this part of the system pukes, you have to buy the whole outfit. I say this because I melted a hose (it was against the exhaust guard and I didn't realize it) and the replacement hose was $25.
