Simpson vs generic

Hello everyone! I’ve been doing some research on the Simpson 4400 psi 4gpm pressure washer from Lowe’s or the generic 4200 psi 4gpm off of pressure washer direct. I was wondering if y’all could give me some advice on which one to buy. They are about a 300 dollar difference as well. Thanks! I want to start a small business on the side and I don’t want to spend a ridiculous amount of money if I’m not going to stick with it. I also have have linked both pressure washer below. And if there is any other option that y’all suggest let me know!

Welp you got the spelling correct. Both are junk if your using it for commercial work.

Belt drive 5.5/2500 is a fantastic starter/intermediate washer.

I’m on the budget in between 700-1100 so I don’t have the money for that right now.

Better off saving more money, because you’ll quickly outgrow that machine. Remember you need hoses, wands, Injectors, fittings, tanks, surface cleaner etc.

Ok thanks!

We’re not being mean, I just went through this whole mess back in 2018 so memory is still quite fresh.

I understand completely I just didn’t know if those were any good or not just not trying to spend 4K on a setup and do 5 jobs and hate it.

Trust me, you won’t hate it. More often than not, people have quit their ‘normal’ careers to take up washing.

Just read a lot of posts on here and do it the correct and safe way. You’ll make some serious money per man hour.
