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

Simpson is great. Everyone will tell you Honda engine or bust. I would just be concerned with the fact that Honda is not going to produce the small mower engines anymore.

What’s the price in checkout?

Also, what type of work are you using this for? You generally want something this strong for a two story home in order to get enough power to reach the whole house. If you have the money to spend, go for it.

I have this exact one. Yes, likely overkill but I never have to worry about it not being powerful enough. You have to be careful cleaning something that can be damaged (wood, stucco ) because it will get away from you. Buy an oscillating tip for it.

Mines similar. 4.0 GPM. I prefer the cat pump.
It’s a beast. Yes, probably overkill for just home use. It cuts your time WAY down though. Tip use becomes important. Some will eat the paint off quick.
One of my best home related purchases lately. I think mine was 1300$ I got some extra hose with it . Aluminum frame.

this overkill for what I need?

In the entire history of mankind, no one has ever uttered the words I wish this pressurewasher was less powerful.

Honda stopped making push mowers not the engines. They still make the small engines for other applications like pressure washers, generators, water pumps…..

Decent pro-sumer pressure washer but these pumps leak oil. It's more of an annoyance but we have two of these exact model pressure washers, both with very low use and both leak oil at the sight window. I put new o-rings in them, slowed the leak to just a few drops a week but will still empty the pump if given enough time. I just drain the oil and put a big tag on them not to be used until filled with pump oil before use.

Stabil 360 or Stabil 360 Marine. I stopped going out of my way for non-E gasoline years ago, with properly treated top tier mid-grade or higher gas I've never had issues with my equipment starting. I have fuel shutoff valves on all my equipment, run the carbs empty after every use. That alone solves most issues. If it's something like my chipper, yard vac, pressure washer, etc that won't see use for months at a time I'll drain the fuel tank and carb bowl, run a little MMO in them with canned 4-cycle True Fuel to flush them then put them away.

I have this one and have no problems with driveway, jeep, and house washing.
