Costco Black Max 2800psi 2.3gpm Honda Motor Pressure Washer $259.99



Thumb Score: -1
I'm going to preface this with the note that I wouldn't necessarily classify this as a "slickdeal," but Costco brought back the pressure washers at my local store a couple days ago, so I had to pick one up. They used to carry the Simpson ones, but I've heard horrible things about them, seen people returning them personally, so I think Costco decided to change things up.

It's a Black Max, 161cc Honda Motor, 2.3 gpm, 2800 psi pressure washer with soap compartment (cut off in the bottom of my photo, but the blue cap can be seen in the photos on the boxes). 6-in-1 nozzle with the following spray patterns: 0 deg, 25 deg, 40 deg, long range soap, short range soap, and car. Costco Item #131229.

I've been monitoring all of the pressure washer threads recently and I know everyone is looking for one with a Honda motor (myself included). I'll give it a shot and see how it goes. Costco extends the manufacturer's 2 year warranty out to 3 years, so it's relatively risk-free.

I think this is very comparable to the Troy-Bilt pressure washer with the Briggs and Stratton motor at Lowe's for $249 AC. But then you have to purchase the Lowe's warranty to be comparable. Or get the Troy-Bilt with the Honda motor for $349 (?).

Here's the Amazon link to the washer, with only 9 mixed reviews:
