Honda Pressure Washer Engines - Worth the Price?
Honda makes excellent quality pressure washer engines, in addition to the automobile, truck, jet and marine engines they manufacture.
Honda Motor Company, Limited, is a multi-national corporation that's headquartered Japan. They're the 5th largest automobile manufacturer in the world, as well as the biggest engine manufacturer in the world.
Honda makes
gas-powered
pressure washer engines, not
electric-powered engines.
This means that pressure washers with Honda engines are intended for outdoor cleaning projects - not indoor. (The fumes from a gas engine make it dangerous to use indoors.)
You can easily spot Honda engines because of their bright red color and prominently featured "Honda" nameplate. See my photo on the left.
Please note that some inferior engine companies have begun producing engines in bright red paint too, in order to look like Honda engines, so make sure you see the unique Honda nameplate/logo on the outside of the engine.
Honda pressure washer engines are legendary. They offer high reliablity, long life and excellent power. So, as you've probably noticed, you will pay a few more dollars for a pressure washer with a Honda engine.
Is it worth it?
My personal opinion is that it's very much worth it to buy a quality pressure washer with a Honda engine. You'll get many more years of trouble-free use out of your pressure washer. And the Honda warranty is excellent. So in my opinion, that makes it a better value in the long run!
And don't forget that Honda offers some of the best warranty coverage in the industry. Depending on your Honda engine model, warranties range from 1 - 2 years.
And truthfully, I think it's worth investing in ANY pressure washer that features a quality, name-brand engine such as: Briggs & Stratton, Generac, Karcher, etc.
I can highly recommend this gas-powered pressure washer at Northern Tool + Equipment
because it's built exactly like mine. I use the exact same Comet pump & Honda engine and I've been using it, very hard, for over 5 years and I've had absolutely no trouble with it!
Just click on the photo to get more info & prices. (And I like Northern Tool + Equipment
because they feature free shipping.)
And I've recently noticed that the price of brand-name engines have come down due to the competition from the internet! This is great for all of us do-it-yourselfer's!
Are you wondering if it's better for you to rent or buy a pressure washer? Good question. Please read the tips on my

And as you compare pressure washer models, please don't forget that the pump is the heart of a pressure washer. The pump is just as important as the pressure washer engine. Read my easy tips on the
