Here's the link I went with this one as supposedly oil is changeable in pump.
I put it through it's paces today. This is by far the best I have used in a very long time. Of course this is also the first one I have bought as my other ones I used were either burrowed or gave to me which were vertical shaft power washers. This looks like it will be easier to maintain as well. On others I used green nozzles to clean everything but if I do it with this one it will take the paint off. Used it to spot clean some deck steps with the green nozzles and the paint came off that I wanted then put white nozzle and washed the van. So far only positive things so now I have to wait for the reliability of the Honda motor and pump.
 
You bought a casual use/residential machine. I hope you get a long, trouble free life from it. At least it didn't cost much if it pukes or wears out in a year's time.

Well pump is cheap to replace. I didn't have the extra 200 for a better one but with proper care hopefully it will last. It is rated at 200 to 400 hour life so that will get me couple of years.
 
I was around 5 hours a year. Electric pressure washer didnt last more than 2 years. Died in like 10 hours. Smoke comes from it smell of burning electrics. Motor probably bust.
 
"OEM Technologies" is the brand name of the pump? There are many quality pump manufacturers, such as AR, CAT, Comet. Never heard of OEM Technologies.

Just plan on replacing the pump in a couple of years.
A Cat pump new is 75% the price of the overall machine. An OEM will run you about $100.
 
I have had very good experience with Generac washers. Had a smaller 2400 psi 2.7 gpm for 7 years and upgraded to their 4.4 gpm 4400 psi washer recently.
