Newbie Questions

What is the biggest difference in these two pressure washers outside of 200 PSI and the $200 price point?

Looking to get something to close out the season, have a few jobs lined up with friends and family.

Identical machines. Depends on your paint preferences.
One can be sold in California, the other cannot.

Also, for that kind of money, you may consider checking out used stuff. Lots of guys selling their stuff right now in my local market. I’d check FB marketplace or Craigslist.

Thanks for the reply, I am limited to my Home Depot CC right now with the idea to springboard cashflow. I’d like to start with something that I can get and turn in to an income on the side. Goal is to finish out the season and have a trailer build by end of next season.

I get it. I used the last $800 on my Home Depot credit card to get this thing. 5 years strong and zero issues on this engine. 3 pumps later though…. (I’m fairly confident in saying that each time it was from running in on low flowing spigots and not having a buffer tank).

You can pick up a used direct drive 4/4 all day long on Facebook Marketplace for considerably less.
