What type of pressure washer do you baws have? I’m looking to get one

Lowe’s has some good 3000-3200 PSI ones for under $400. I’m just going to be using it to do brick, windows, and deck. Thanks

I think the flowrate (gallons per minute) is more important than the pressure rating...

I've got one of those, works really well actually. I washed the whole house and side walks around the house. Haven't done the driveway yet though, but that's because mines about 300 ft long....more like a small road.

Honda engine with CAT pump.
Mine is 20 years old and still runs like a spotted arse ape.

They've doubled in price since I bought mine, but these will last forever.

Honda 13 hp motor 4000 psi. 4.2 gallons per minute. 100 feet of hose. Turbo nozzle. My son and I had some of the smaller ones. We bit the bullet and bought a commercial grade unit. With the pressure and GPM ‘s you can really get some work done quickly. The Honda motor’s always crank and run. The Honda motor is really the shite.

^ This! I have had mine for 20 years and zero issues with the engine (Honda) or pump (CAT). Only issues are dry rotted tires.
If you around Baton Rouge, these guys are great.

Gpm is king

Unless you consistently need one (like 5+ times per year every year) just rent.

Yamaha.

For normal cleaning around the house anything over 3000 psi is overkill. I have a Troybilt 2700 with a supercharger nozzle. Does the trick.

The Ryobi one that uses a Honda motor
~$300 (equals about 4 rental days)

Start by getting "PSI" out of your head. Thats not what does the cleaning. "GPM" is what cleans.
The pressure is almost always adequate for a pressure washing task. Its the volume of water pushed that turns a 4 hour job into a 1 hour job. If you ever feel you need more pressure then you need to stand closer to your work or switch to a smaller spray pattern nozzle.
As others have said, CAT pumps are good as are Annovi Reverberi. I had an AR pump that went through Katrina. Under 10' of chemicalized, shite-water for weeks. Still works to this day and didnt have to do shite to it. Honda makes the best smalls engines in existence. Everyone knows this. Yamahas and Kohlers are good too. Horrible Fright used to sell Honda knockoff engines for cheap. I have one thats served me well but Im not sure HF still sells these.

I think this one is sold under a few different brands. My dad has a BlackMax branded one from Sams that looks exactly like the one you posted.

If it doesn't have a CAT pump, Don't buy it.
Yamaha makes the best industrial grade model, but it's pricey.
