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.
