We get by with a cheapo Harbor Freight benchtop washer - nothing fancy but it is pretty handy for light use. For really gnarly stuff we hit it with the pressure washer in a homeade steel basket and then take to our neighbors shop and dunk in the heated 55 gallon barrell of super-potent-illegal-as-hell-circa-1965 solvent, no comparision to what is available today for solvent.
I would suggest a Northern Tool or harbor freight special with the flow through brush - or a couple cases of Brake Kleen
