Pressure washer question

Does anyone know of an electric pressure washer that is rated to handle hot water (125F)? I finally need to replace mine (13+ years) and haven't been able to find any electric versions that are hot water safe. It seems they are all cheap disposable plastic these days.

I prefer electric to keep the neighbors happy and one less gas motor to maintain. The hot water use is because it cleans better at lower pressures so it's safer for seals and wheel bearings but still cuts through grease/oil/spooge.

Thanks but I'm looking for one that is safe to run hot water into it from my house supply. All the pressure washers I've looked at recommend cold water use only. I can only guess those have pump seals that aren't able to take the heat.

Hotsy sells those too. We use to use them.
