![]() ![]() I was at Costco yesterday and it appears they improved on the older design. I will snap some pictures once I get home. Problem is, you're unlikely to find an AR pressure washer in your local shops. ![]() ![]() However, for the size pressure washer you're considering, I would give some thought to a high quality electric as well. This model of pressure washer seems to be the only place it was sold in any meaningful numbers. Fuel injections seems to work fine but maybe it scarcity is a result of high cost or just lack of market acceptance. I'm not sure it will pan it to be a durable long term purchase because it appears Robin / Subaru has not really promoted the FI small engine. That took a bit of searching on Google to find the answer. Turns out that the fuel injected engine is very sensitive to oil levels as it uses crankcase vacuum for the injection system and the owner had overfilled the crankcase. The price was low enough for me to take a chance. The seller had purchased it a year earlier for one project and said that he tried to start it but couldn't get it running. Last summer, I purchased on a whim a Ridgid pressure washer with a Fuel Injected Robin / Subaru engine and a CAT pump. If the pump fails, in all likelihood it will require replacement as support for chinese pumps is limited at best. The pump has survived our limited use but it is a chinese pump and not a quality CAT or AR triplex style pump. I believe it is "Powerstroke" branded unit as well but it has a horizontal shaft engine. The engine has been very reliable for both me and my son who has it at his home. I'll bet the pump is a cheap chinese unit though.Ībout 6 years ago, I purchased a Robin / Subaru powered pressure washer on clearance from Home Depot. My experience with Robin / Subaru engines has been good. ![]()
