"What they don't tell you about Honda Pressure Washers"
I recently received the following e-mail regarding honda pressure washers:
"I was unaware Honda made pressure washers. I can get one locally now that I have seen your web page".
Thank You
My response:
Thank you for visiting our website. I would like to point out that HONDA "does not" manufacture pressure washers. Honda makes Engines, Autos, Motorcycles etc. When Pressure washers are referred to as Honda it's industry shorthand for "Honda Powered" which means you still need to consider the manufacturer.
We distribute the "Pressure-Pro" line of pressure washers. Pressure-Pro is the leading manufacturer of Pressure Washers in florida.
Keep in mind that very little of a pressure washer is "manufactured", what the majority of manufacturers really are is "component" assemblers. This is no bad thing as long as they use quality components and have large purchasing power to deliver the final product at a value for the consumer.
I recently received a flaming email from a woman lambasting me for selling Honda pressure washers. She told a story of how she and her husband had purchased a pressure washer from a local box store, she really didn't say which. At any rate, after using it 3 times over the course of a year it developed a serious problem with the pump.
She took it to the store authorized service center only to be notified that it was out of warranty and could not be repaired anyway. Needless to say she was furious, after all this was a Honda pressure washer!!
She went on to say that the only reason she purchased it was because it had a Honda engine which implied quality.
The name Honda does not imply a quality pressure washer, it only implies a quality engine. There are many ways a manufacturer can lessen quality to achieve a price point that the superstore will be willing to market. The good news is that "spotting this ploy is not rocket science" and you can get quality advice at this website.
I believe it's an excellent choice when you choose Honda but please remember a pressure washer is far more than just the power source.
