Default Simpson vs Gererac

I'm looking for a PW for household duties and washing my cars. Doing research, I find these two may work for me and both have fairly high ratings. Can you guys give me some guidance on one over the other? The Simpon has a hair more volume but I like the tall slender profile the Generac has to conserve space while stored. Thanks.

Definitely go with the Honda motor. I have the Troy-Built XP 3100, which is the Simpson repackaged for Lowe's, and it is awesome.

You can get the Simpson for cheaper at Lowe's FYI. https://www.lowes.com/pd/SIMPSON-Meg...her/1000098440

PM and I can get you a 10% off coupon you can use online which will bring it down to about $341 before tax.

X3 on the Honda motor. I have a Karcher with a Honda motor that is close to 15 years old and still running strong.

That is the same Simpson that I have, My father has one too. He's really on his second one, the first had engine issues and the pump was starting to fail after 10 years of heavy use. So you'll be happy with that one. Don't be like me though and think you have the nozzle in the wand and its really not locked in place. I didn't hit my truck but i think that nozzle is still in orbit some where!
