thepumpoutlet: Pressure Washer Review..Big Box vs. thePumpOutlet

Strolling through a big box commercial store on the weekend, you may find pressure washers that look enticing with reduced or lower prices. You can pick it up on a Sunday and take it home with you... but is that really the best option? As a local small business we want our customers to be informed about the benefits of buying from a smaller consumer-based company.

When something goes wrong........
If you purchase a pressure washer from a big box store, it is very unlikely that they have any experience or knowledge about the product. They also have no repair parts in stock or even available for that matter. So, you are left looking for a local company or searching online to find a way to get your unit up and running for the next job. Local companies such as ours do not keep parts for such units because we don't stock their products since we do not believe they are high quality in the first place. We do value our customers and will often try to find them parts even though they didn't purchase from us but they usually aren't available. The big box stores want you to simply replace your product when something goes wrong. Our goal is to sell quality from the beginning. We keep parts for our products in stock and can help you and your machine get back to work if something does happen to go wrong.

Extras!
Many of our pressure washers feature external bypass unloaders. They are the best unloader system available. Many big box store washers are equipped with integral unloaders which are inferior to external bypass unloaders. Pumps with integral unloaders are cheaper up front but the repair cost is substantially higher. Often times, you may replace an integral unloader pump when you could simply repair an external bypass setup for $50. External bypass unloaders have a bypass hose that allows heat to dissipate when the pump is in bypass; thus contributes to a longer pump life.

Ease of Use
Most of our portable cold water units are built with an aluminum frame. This makes them easier to use and more portable.

Many feature pneumatic tires which helps prevents vibration issues with the unit.

Customization
We are proud to be a distributor of Pressure-Pro products. We have many different options available on our site but if you don't find what you're looking for, we can often find it for you. Choose from Honda, Kohler, Briggs and Stratton engines. We can customize your unit to have CAT, General or AR pumps based on your preference. Most any unit can be purchased on a skid for bolt down application or carts for portability. Need more or less hose? Let us know and we can adjust your order. Have an excess of guns, hoses or tips already? We can sell units with or without these options depending on what you need.
