I have a couple.
One is a Honda gx200 with Annovi pump. Fuggin motor gives me more grief than any other gas motor I have. Does good when it runs.
Other is a little Costco Yamaha job. Used it today on the boat. That machine always starts right up and runs like a song.
To be fair, the Honda likely needs a new gas tank. Has some rust. I've taken the tank off a couple times and put a little diesel in it with a few cups of gravel and shake it like a baby. Cleans it up but it's still runs like [bleep]. Probably should replace the carb.

5 HP Honda with a Karcher; also a Honda on my 5KW generator.
Far easier to start than any Briggs & much quieter; hard to make sense of any other engine if a Honda is available.

I run a Mi-T-M electric washer.
I plumbed the house with a hot and cold outdoor bib, so overall it's a great set up.

I have one with a Honda GVC160, pretty standard motor
I bought it at an auction, got it home and the motor was so tight you could pull start it, took it apart and got a drill to spin the motor, got it loosened up , put it back together and it started on the 3rd pull. Has always started by the 3rd pull since and that was 2 years ago.

Mi-T-M Work Pro 4200 (standard cleaning) Simpson water shotgun (for heavier stuff) Mi-T-M Hot water HSP 3504 for degreasing equipment
They all work great!!

My son bought a Costco 3100 PSI model with the Yamaha engine and it has run like a champ for several years now. I have borrowed it a couple times and it really gets the job done. One thing I found out years ago is with much more pressure than the 3100 it will blow gravel out of my exposed aggregate driveway and throw it who knows where- usually right at my car and truck no matter where I park them...
One thing he clued me into was the round flat surface attachment for doing decks and driveways. Man, those things really speed things up and keep you a lot cleaner and drier while doing flat surfaces. Probably cut down doing the driveway by half or more and did a great job. I think they are about $65 on Amazon and worth every penny...

I bought an undercarriage attachment - its on 2 wheels with 4 nozzles, connects to your pressure washer hose and lets you wash under your car or whatever. It was like $40

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 ! I have the same machine that you have. 5years old I think. Works great That's what I have too. A 3600 psi Simpson with the industrial rated Honda. Was about $600 at Sam's club a few years ago but they sold me the display model for $250 because the hose was missing. Only one I've ever had but it seems to work well. Bb

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. Costco had $80 off their husky washer. After my experience with a my snowblower I said fugk and no to that. Wife said it had a ton of bad reviews to boot. That's not very encouraging - I just bought the Husky from Costco but haven't opened the box yet. Should I return it?

I bought one of these. https://www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI-3000-PSI-2-3-GPM-Honda-Gas-Pressure-Washer-RY803001/303316335Ryobi with a Honda engine. Starts easy and works fine for me. I clean siding, deck & porch, driveway and wash vehicles with it. I waited a year after my neighbor bought one to see how it worked.

Up to you, obviously...Pretty good information provided from members who are happy with a Simpson or Dewalt with CAT pump pressure washers. YMMV seems appropriate. 🦫

Right now, I can’t think of a reason why I need one.
I doubt I would use one much.

But I'm not buying anything Husky. Sample of one with my snowblower, but that was enough for me. Good thing my saws are all Stihl.

Have a dewalt with a Cat pump. Been gtg for at least 6 years or so. Before that, a Mi-T-M 4000 psi with a cat pump also. Some POS decided he needed it more than I did.
Painting partner has that same Dewalt. He swears by them. 🦫 Painting partner? So that's what the kids are calling it these days.
