I’m set on this combo,
3.8gpm - 3,500psi
Or
3.5gpm-4,000psi
Witch one do I get? Many say GPM over psi any day! But I’m not sure…
The most expensive of the two cost $1,450 out the door
And the other one is, $1,299
Help

I would suggest starting at 4gpm. Your pump is the heart of your equipment. You could definitely find a 4000 psi 4gpm general pump setup in your price range
“Pressure cleans, water helps”.
Are there any particular brands to go with?
I see some online, 4gpm 4,000 psi but there brands I have never heard of at least the pumps are

General pumps are great and I meant to ask what kind of work will you be doing the most? Keep reading up on the forum, there is more info in the archives that will point you in the direction you need to go.

If you’re going to be paying $999 off eBay why not just deal through one of the vendors that everyone loves and preach about on here… Contact pressure tek, KEC Supplies or South side equipment and buy with confidence.
Britton Emerson
Emerson Exteriors
If they can give me a better deal, why not

Because you don’t know what you don’t know. You are currently confusing the act of not spending money with the art of making money.
That last one you posted looks to be a direct drive with an internal unloader. Junk.
The price appears attractive because you are getting only half of the machine that you would get if you bought from a vendor that actually knew the industry and would not steer you wrong. For me, that is Bob at Pressure Tek.
Select the vendor that you are most comfortable with but you will not find him on eBay.
If you want to be a professional power washer and charge professional prices, get your equipment from a reputable power washing supplier. You may think you’re paying more but the difference in quality will more than pay for the difference in acquisition cost.
Think 4gpm belt drive, minimum.
Thank you to all so far for the guidance, I may take a different route, here is were I stand… I been reading lots about hot water machines…
Are the Hotsy portables good? I drive a 2200 chevy express extended and have room to carry a hotsy in it Im pretty sure it fits… Or should I look into a trailer set up? Too many options

Edit because I didn’t really offer any good advice and can’t figure out how to delete the entire post😊.
So I’m just gonna start with a (cold water) 4gpm and 4,000 psi
Any links to a good machine and good dealer?
