Under "heavy duty" usage (more than washing windows; by h.d. I don't mean trying to strip concrete) they tend to overheat and break quite frequently. Parts are ~usually~ cheap plastic, and non-serviceable, so once it fails, it's usually done for.
From what I've seen, the average electric washer lasts a few months to a year or two, then starts exhibitting problems. This isn't to say they all do this, just your average one.
