re: Simpson pressure washer? Good buy or too good to be true?

Simpson and DeWalt are built in the US by the same Italian company FNA.
The Honda engine on that $950 model from Tractor Supply will probably outlast us all.
However that Chinese AAA pump is suspect.
Higher-grade commercial pumps (like CAT, General Pump, AR, Giant, etc.) are designed in the US or Europe.
A Simpson or DeWalt machine with a CAT pump typically costs around $1,400.
Pressure washers with those higher-grade pumps will last forever if properly maintained - and if always operated with adequate water flow at the inlet.

And an inlet filter. I have a Subaru-powered Mi-t-M industrial pressure washer with an AR pump. Great unit but if trash gets in the pump it's $300 in parts to rebuild fully.
