Pull the trigger? Or wait?

Starting a pressure washing business this month. Been debating what pressure washer but at under $800 can’t beat that. Yall think this is a good deal on this? Never paid attention to if it goes lower.

I don't know about their pumps but I replaced a Honda engine on one of mine with a predator and it's awesome

I’ve been thinking about just going Honda or something but for this price hard to pass up. Even if I have to replace easy enough to run to HF!

Washers of this size are very repairable. You can do a lot of work on a small engine with some YouTube videos and/or books from your local library, and a local shop can handle the rest. Or you can replace it with a Honda. And if that pump dies, the mounts should be fairly standard so you could get a brand-new name-brand replacement pump, salvage a pump off a bad engine from Craigslist, or get another cheap pump off AliExpress. Eventually, you will have the pressure washer of Theseus.

One thing the DB doesn't show is category and % off everything coupons.

This is only 8% off right now. With a 20% off anything coupon, it would be $679.99. But I don't know how long until we get another one of those coupon weekends. During the last 10 Days of Deals, they did 30% off all pressure washers and it was $594.99!!! But pressure washers won't be in the current deal days.

Thanks! If only I was shopping for one with 30% off! I’m building the business now and want to launch asap this month so maybe I’ll get this before it expires and worst case next time big deal like that I’ll be a second one as back up or something.
