Best Pressure Washer for Father s Day
Here's a link to the same unit for $749, no sales tax, and free shipping. I thought about that unit, too, but decided against it because the Coleman PowerMate's really don't have a very good reputation. It has a lot of power at a very good price though. Be careful - there are a bunch of refurbished units on the market and they're not always labeled as such so be sure to ask them about that and make sure it has the warranty. If you go this route be sure to report back on how you like it. I may kick myself for not making the same choice as you.

kwschumm, thanks for the heads up! That is a great price. I figured if the pump craps itself I can buy a CAT pump and still be money ahead. I would think you could mount a CAT pump to this engine. In any case, I am thinking about it.

Yep, I'd bet you could find a CAT pump that would fit the Robin engine. I'm not sure of the reliability of Robin engines, but they look pretty decent on paper. I've never had one so don't know for sure. Generally I try to buy the best I can get, but that attitude puts extra strain on the bank account

Did a little research and found out that Subaru makes Robin engines. Subaru makes good engines. I am gonna give this model a try.

kwschumm, Thanks again for the heads up on the Coleman pressure washer. You saved me about $130! I just got done ordering the unit. $749 for a 13.5 hp, 3500 psi, 4 gpm, unit with a 50 ft. hose, and 4 nozzles is one heck of a bargain. Even if it is a cheapie, I would have nearly double that otherwise.

That does sound good I might get one of those colemans too. As for subaru's if there anything like there cars they're good. We have a 96'wagon that just won't quit we use it very hard. The wife is a lead foot and red lines it quite a bit.

kwschumm, I got the pressure washer today. Put it all together, added oil to the engine and pump, assembled everthing and it started on the 2nd pull. Makes awesome pressure and volume of spray. I was particularly impressed with the quality of the Robin engine. Had the appearance and materials every bit as good as a Honda and ran reasonably quiet. Has a huge muffler on it. Gas tank hold over 5 gallons. It came with a stainless Italian made wand, 8 spray nozzles, 50 feet of good looking quality hose, 10 inch wheels and pneumatic tires, and pretty fair quality manuals. It has an AR brass pump which surprised me. They are fairly good quality pumps and have a good reputation. They delivered it to me in 2 days via Fedex Frieght. I got the Bill of Lading # and ran it with Fedex and contacted the dispatcher to let them know I would be home and coordinate a pickup point. I met the truck driver out in front of my house with the tractor. The washer came banded to a sturdy pallet which also impressed me! I was expecting a tore up punctured box that had been thrown around. It was in perfect condition . The driver pushed the box and pallet which was around 240 lbs. into the loader bucket with his pallet jack, I secured it with a rope and off we both went. Both happy campers. I ran it for about a 1/2 hour to break the engine and pump in under low pressure. The only thing I don't like about the unit is that it has no throttle for me to throttle the engine back to cool things off when I am done. I hate to shut an air cooled engine down from wide open throttle. Other than that, I give this pressure washer the "Tractor Point BEST BUY 5 Star" rating! ;o) It is not the top of the line but for the money spent, it is a really nice pressure washer. Stateline was a pleasure to deal with as well.

Wow, I didn't know that unit had an AR pump. I've never seen that mentioned on any of the ads. You sure got that unit fast - my ProJet hasn't arrived yet. Does it have adjustable pressure? I hope it treats you well for a long, long time.
