    Default questions about pressure washers


    I am in the market for a low end commercial pressure washer with either 3.5 GPM or 4 GPM water output at between either 3,800 PSI to 4,400PSI, somewhere in that range. I have started doing some side job pressure washing and need something a little more than what I have. Do any of you pressure wash or have a pressure washer similar to this? Do you like it or dislike it? Pros and cons please. What kind would you suggest or what kind would you steer clear from?

    I’m curious myself on this topic. Been wanting a good one for projects around the house.

    Check out the Hustler line of pressure washers. Made in the US by Hustler. The HH4035 is $1249 MSRP, with Honda engine. 4000 psi, 3.5 gpm.
    Have been watching a guy on YouTube use one during the past year. Seeing the black dirt roll off the concrete is very rewarding.
    Yes, I have no life.

    I have been researching for a while and have somehow never seen this brand show up. I will definitely check it out. Thank you.

    Had one with Briggs/Stratton motor .was junk . Carried it back and went with Honda . Different world . Be sure to turn on water before cranking and turn water off after killing motor . Drain in winter and leave inside during winter it will last a long time . 3100 will cut skin at 6 inches with the red tip . Has done everything I have wanted to do .

    Thanks everyone I have a Simpson 2,700 PSI right now and it has been good but I need something a little sturdier. Eagle 1 it will also cut skin very easily but still not quite the power I need, and no I am not dismembering bodies with it lol.

    Flow is what makes all the difference, not so much pressure.

    Excel and Northstar are a couple of the better brands I can think of. Honda engine and a Cat pump are the components to look for. The pumps on lower end units are disposable, but you can rebuild a Cat pump.
