its this one:





thing is a beast. i'm going to really hate to give it back. he offered to sell it to me for $550. its older and has definitely spent some time in the back of the shed but i've run 3 tanks of gas out of it so far and no problems yet.

Those Honda engines are the tits.


Edit: for $1500, you are getting something that will actually work. Not a low pressure piece of crap.

If you need it for commercial purposes, they are with every penny.

Buy it. If the water pump goes out you can get a new one for under $200.

The commercial grade ones get pretty expensive. We aren't talking about the average ones used for work around the house.

Quality, I guess. I ask myself why a mower should ever cost $12,000.

I bought a pressure washer because I had a lot to do. But then I was done, and I haven't touched the thing in over a year. The engine on mine is a bitch to get started. It requires a lot of foreplay.

i have a circular driveway and since its an older house, the aggregate was BLACK. going over it made the driveway look like the concrete truck just stopped by yesterday. its taken me 3 days (doing it after work) and i'm still not done.

thats my dilemma..do i need this kind of horsepower? :rimshot:

Buy it. I have no idea what Honda does but those engines can sit all year and crank after 2-3 pulls.

By the way, that unit can skin a cat at 60 yards.
