As Cecil B mentioned those with the Honda engine are the best and easiest starting. Possibly a little more expensive but very dependable.
Quite a few engines start as well or better than a Honda. It's just hype
I'll agree with that. I have a Honda pressure washer, and boy it's not that easy to start. The cheap trash pump I got is so much easier. Yes, I have used it a lot, and it's still going. Question is, will the cheapy last as long as the Honda. Years down the road will tell the story.....
