Power Washer Recommendation

[CaptainRatty]

Does anyone have a good GAS power washer that they can recommend? Anywhere from 3000-3200 PSI under $400 is what I'm looking for. I know it's overkill for car washing, but I need something more reliable... I go through a SunJoe electric power washer every 2-3 years at the rate I wash my car and use it for around-the-house cleanings.

Something with a Honda engine.

Agreed. Is there a pump brand that you like?

I’ve had Generac 3200 for about 8 years now & it’s been flawless.

My mom has the same one, and it’s probably 15 years old now with zero issues as well.

Both do regular house & vehicle maintenance (plus mx bikes/quads/trucks) so plenty of hours on them, I’d say more than average.

After a quick search it looks like they added electric start to the 3100 & 3200 psi models (which is stupid, they start first pull hot or cold). Idk if you can find a new old stock pull start or a lightly used one, but there’s no way I’d pay a extra $100-200 for a e start.
