After a lifetime of smaller, home use pressure washers, in both gas and electric that ran me between $90 and $275 bucks. I finally bought a decent one, I think....Simpson 3600 psi washer with a 2.5 GPM Honda GX200. Never owned one that had both engine oil and a separate pump oil requirement. I’m in high cotton....For the moment. What are you using? 🦫 PS My best buddy, Kingston, is a pressure washer snob ! ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/52bSFghk/8-CBDA6-E3-BCEF-4-D7-D-9-E81-5-AC4576-AAF34.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/pddQsTXf/36-D63-D94-49-F3-49-E4-A64-B-73214-B246-AC7.jpg) That looks handy! You don't even need hydraulics to pick it up! Now how about some YouTube.

In the same boat here needing to replace a craftsman pressure washer I bought 20 years ago and ran like a top. Until a friend borrowed it, broke something small on it and has never returned it as he said he is looking for the part to repair it.
So I need to buy a new presure washer for the house. I have a couple hotsy electric/diesel pressure washers at my shop if I need hot water.
Just looked at the simpson washers at a local farm/ranch store yesterday and today. Wife said Costco has a husqvarna pressure washers in stock also I may go look into.
Let me know how you like the simpson. Will be replacing mine in the next week to 2 weeks.

I've got a Sears one. Can't remember the specs. It's gas powered. i used it today on my deck and it started on the 2nd pull after not having been run since mid-summer. We had a Sears credit to use up and I needed a power washer and so that's how I ended up with it. I've had it maybe 6-8 yrs.

Dude what a timely post!
Literally just yesterday I bought one from Lowe's. Couldn't in any universe given the likely amount of hours justify the Simpson with the Honda, so I bought the Craftsman with the Honda. Sold a tiller in the parking lot, walked in the store and converted that into a pressure washer. Haven't used it yet, just put the oil in the engine, put some gas in it and started it to see if it would. It did. Have thought about getting one for years and just never did. Have you put it together yet? I got one of those (2800psi) last year. If it’s like mine, you’ll hate the trigger and the nozzle tray. Yeah, wasn’t much to do to it. Bolt on the top of the handle and hook up the hose. Not a fan of the chincy thing to hold the hose. I was half in the bag though to be fair. Really want to run it to check it out but it’s snowing and I don’t want to clear the damn thing out so it won’t freeze on me. Likely wait a week or so before I do more than just fire up the engine I think mine was 3k psi. Not sure. Was between the one with the Briggs and Stratton and the Simpson price wise.

I drink an absurd amount of Miller Lite, then go to town blasting dirt off everything with my firehose.
Or, a Honda when the mood strikes.

6 hp Honda that’s worn out 2 Karcher pumps and recently replaced with an oil unit of Italian manufacture.
3200 psi, 3 gpm. This pump seems to work the motor harder than did the Karchers.
