I have two set ups. One is an electric for cars and other small stuff. The frame is made from parts of two old pressure washers, some metal and conduit I bought, and old exhaust pipes, all "frankensteined" together. It's an AR630 pump, "uber flex" type hose on a reel, a couple wands, tips, a foam cannon, and stainless Q C fittings.
The other one, for the bigger jobs, started life about 15 years ago as a Dewalt 3800 PSI, 4 GPM, Honda 13 HP unit from Home Depot. Over the years, I swapped out the upright frame for a "low-boy" aluminum one, replaced/upgraded the CAT pump, added the hose reel, Flexzilla hose, lots of tips and wands and trigger guns. I also have a Erie Tools 20 inch surface cleaner for cleaning the deck, the dock, and driveway. One thing about the Honda engine, it may sit for up to a year, but 1-2 pulls and it starts right up.
