Briggs and Stratton is just about as reliable today. Honda doesn't even make their own consumer grade engines anymore. It is contracted out and they are made in China/Vietnam or someplace like that. Commercial grade Hondas will get you a motor with a sleeve in it. They should last practically forever. What you really want to look at is what type of pump they use. Axial will have a short life while the triplex will last a consumer probably indefinitely. Sometimes it is better to buy a good tool once than shitty tools multiple times. Just my opinion.
Best advice here so far. Buy the best pressure washer you can afford. Buy once, cry once.

Honda GX motor (better than GCV series)
Triplex pump (preferably a Cat or General pump)
Upgrade the pressure washer hose to a 50-ft Flexzilla or similar hose

I'm generalizing here, but I do believe the average homeowner will only use a pressure washer a couple times per year (unless you are also washing your car). In any event, the engine will always outlast the pump, and it's the pump that will determine the longevity of your pressure washer.

Ryobi does not include quality pumps, and most of their pump warranties only last 3 years. I'd rather spend twice as much for a better Cat/General triplex pump that will easily last 10+ years (with proper maintenance).
Most gas washers are going to output more pressure than electric models, and Honda's are more expensive due to their reliability in small engines.

Can anyone comment on this vs others in this price range? I have an electric Sun Joe one that works ok. I use it for my pool deck every 6 months or so but it definitely could use more oomph for the concrete. Will I notice a big difference between the two other than time spent out there? I usually will pressure clean in the rain as it loosens up the dirt a bit. Thanks

The only way to calculate a units cleaning power is to multiple the P.S.I. times the GPM (gallons per minute). Do this with each unit and it will determine what they can do. The only engines I would ever buy on equipment are Honda and Briggs& Stratton.

I have this exact combo (paid $349 new from DTO). I had to return the first one as the brass axial pump started leaking after 3 hours of use. Second one has been fine.

Engine is great, pump lifespan probably won't be as you cannot change the oil easily. Do not let run without use for more than a minute or so, or the pump will begin to heat up and slowly damage the valves and seals.

The triplex pump on the next model up with the commercial engine would be a big upgrade for durability, but at double the cost.

Factory ryobi hose sucks, it's cheap and stiff and you will fight it doing any job. Walmart sells a premium black hose that is the same as flexzilla for cheap. I attached it with a coupler to the end of the factory hose and it's very helpful.

Surface cleaner is great, very nice quality compared to some cheap ones I've used.

I had the Ryobi 3200/2.5 gas washer from HD with plate for $299 in the summer.

Day and night change comparing to the previous ryobi 2000/1.2 elec washer.

Used it about 10 times for driveway, patio, and car wash every month. So far so good.

Definitely will wait for something with a triplex pump instead of the axial pump this unit has. This is even more important than engine durability. There were such offers on SD for refurbs in $350 range this year.

I have a Dewalt 4200 psi pressure washer, Honda engine. Lots of people complain about how difficult it is to pull to start.

Instructions are there on a plaque by the handle. What I do with this pressure washer is have everything attached, inlet hose, hoses, and gun. Have the water supply on. Bleed the lines of air until a steady stream, helps to have hoses straight while spraying your gun. Wiggle the throttle lever, choke, and fuel shutoff valve, back in worth a couple times. Have the switch set to on. Pull once or twice while choked, don't expect it to run, sometimes will and after a few seconds, you switch it to open choke then go. But if it doesn't run while choked press the trigger on the gun to relieve pressure, then pull with open choke.

Also I bought one of those inline high pressure filter for our wheeled surface cleaner. Helped with catching sediment from our well water before it ever makes it to the spray nozzles.

I'm still upset with myself for not jumping on the Triplex Ryobi pressure washer direct tools had for ~$350 earlier this year. Everyone seems so concerned with the engine but a Predator from Harbor Freight will run if you treat it right, but the pump is always the weak point and definitely my biggest point of concern with a pressure washer.

Triplex, eh? Please elaborate.

Agree big time and would add recommendations:

ALWAYS run all the gas completely out before letting it sit unused for more than a few days. Especially when putting it up for the winter. If possible, after running the tank dry, then loosen the carburetor bowl and let the little gas left in it drain out. This will ensure a like-new start the next spring. I've seen dozens of power washers ruined by bad gas in the fuel lines and carburetor. Don't just rely on fuel stabilizer.

Next step is to spray a shot of pump conditioner into where your incoming water hose is attached. Stop when you see it coming out the exit. Bought a con recently at Menards for about $9. This helps keep the seals in good working order. Again, most folks find their pumps die long before the engine.

Finally, if at all possible, store this in a heated space. As heavy and awkward as it is, I drag mine into a basement or other heated space for the winter. Every spring, you'll see lots of ads and garage sales for used power washers that leak because the water in the pump froze over the winter and cracked the pump.
