I recently bought one to pressure wash my house to prep it for painting. It did just fine for me. I really liked it. The hose was stiff, but I imagine that is with any pressure washer. Just don’t use the highest pressure nozzle of you are pressuring me washing your house, as it took the paint off mine..

I don't have the pressure washer, but I have a couple other predator tools (wood chipper and generator). The engine is pretty solid as long as you follow the directions on break-in and maintenance.
I have their 2300 psi electric pressure washer and it does a pretty good job.

Was thinking more of quality and reliability.

Make sure to get one of the magnetic oil drain plugs and install that before running it. Break it in while the plug collects all the random shavings/dust, then drain the oil and clean off the plug.

Isn’t that an added benefit?

We've had one at the camp for 2.5 years, no issues.

I buy a lot of stuff from HF but the 90 warranty on a pressure washer from HF would be a deal breaker. If the price & specs are the same buy one from TSC, Sams, Costco, HD, or Lowes with a 2 year warranty. I would guess 90% of home owner low end pressure washers fail due the pump & not engine related.

Yes it is an added benefit if one is stripping down to the wood. Me, I was just trying to remove some stubborn dirt not paint. The machine itself works great.

Fail due to poor maintenance more than anything else. Leaving any pump full of water and any engine full of stale fuel means problems no matter who makes it. I have a HF 6.5hp chipper, hasn't been used in a few years but cranked right up with fresh gas since it was fully drained and oil changed before I put it in storage. Pump armor (or RV antifreeze) is a must for any pressure washer too.
