Simpson 61085 MegaShot 3400 PSI 2.5 GPM KOHLER SH270 Gas Pressure Washer

I’ve been frustrated for some time trying to find a good value pressure washer. I wanted a dependable Honda Motor, A Triplex Pump and more interested in GPM than pressure. I was ready to spend $900 for what I wanted but then began to compromise. OK, Simplex seems to make the majority of pressure washers so that is good. No Honda motor but I felt the Kohler OHV engine was a good second place. As far as the pump? No Triplex, its an axial but I can only hope if I keep it wet that it will last a long time. FACT: So many people don’t understand that the pump must be lubricated and cooled with water as soon as you start it. BTW – I’m not sure this pump has a external bypass to leak water for cooling while idling so watch for that as well. Extended idling. The simple Bad Part? I misread the on/off fuel and so ended up trying the pull starter like 10 times. I gave up and once inside wondered why my hand hurt and found my finger was skinned from the pull starter handle. There was a sharp rubber plastic molding trim and it took the skin right off the side of my middle finger. I took a razor blade and sandpaper to remove that. Other than that, this pressure washer offers good value and power. Plenty of power.
