Pressure washer

I bought a honda powered 3000 psi from home depot in 2000. Used it every day for six hours for five years. I had the pump rebuilt once, cat pump, and it starts first pull every time still. I just got done washing the back of my house and patio. The thing you need to be concerned with other than a good motor is a good pump. I use cat pumps. maintenance it regularly, which for me is just changing the pump oil. Never ever buy a karcher, sears or other cheap models, the pump will fail. Ive been using power washers for 19 years with my company and rarely do the good ones fail, belt driven, when they do its usually after 5000 hours when stuff starts to break down. We use those pumps on heavy industrial jobs, go figure, they get abused.
