My neighbor wheeled this Homelite 3100 psi model with 5 hp Honda out to the trash about 10 years ago. It was missing an air filter and cover and the nozzle was shot.
I wheeled it over to my house and bought a new air cleaner and cover for it. My brother gave me an extra nozzle that he had laying around.
It has worked great for as long as I have had it. All I have done for maintenance is change the oil each year. I only use ethanol free gas in it, and I take it down into the basement for winter storage, so that it don’t freeze. I am way up north near the Canadian border.
It always has started on the first or second pull, and has never lost any pressure. I clean the house, deck and driveway with it every year and wash our cars, trucks, and tractors when they need it. It also works great for cleaning off the underside of mower decks.
