Pressure Washer

[RSKY]

Can anybody give me a heads up on what brand gas powered pressure washer to buy. My ten year old Karcher electric died this morning. My wife wants something with "more power" than the electric had. But she has a hard time starting a pull start engine. For that reason I want a Honda engine. Experience has shown me they are USUALLY easy starting.

Researching on the Internet gives me two candidates. First is a Ryobi from Home Depot (3100psi, 2.5gpm, $367), second is a Black Max from Sam's Club (3000psi, 2.5gpm, $379). I like the Ryobi's adjustable nozzle better but haven't seen either in person.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

I have the Black Max and it has done everything I could ask of it. It is very easy to start.

I have a karcher with a honda engine. The engine is great, having pump problems I explained in another recent Pressure washer thread.

I have this Simpson model, which I purchased from TSC last year or the year before ... Honda GC190 engine ... very easy to start:

Simpson Mega Shot MSH30125HT Gas 3100 PSI 2.5 GPM Honda GC 190 Engine Pressure Washer - Tractor Supply Co.

Very happy with it so far.
