Went to my local dealer today and was surprised to see stihl makes pressure washers. Although i was weary since its a newer product from them; I love my br600s and fs90rs and recently bought pole saw from stihl and have grown a trust with them and thier dependability. RB-400 would be used mainly for cleaning off equipment along with a few residential driveways, anyone have experience with this or any other of stihls pressure washers? (or experiece with other Pressure washers) Gas only. Its right in my price range at $579.99 and my preffered amount of gpms and psi.

Thank you.

You guys who want a small PW for a fair price should stick with companies that make them. True, the Stihl name is the best for the stuff they have been making for years. I can't find any specs and don't want to keep searching. For money, GPM's and pressure you can get a better deal with a Mi-T-M https://www.powerequipmentwarehouse.com/mi-t-m-3000-psi-pressure-washer

I have a Simpson with a Kohler 3000 series (SH265) and AAA pump (3300 psi, 2.5 gpm) that I paid $490 for. Strictly residential grade, but it's actually done well for the $7k worth of occasional jobs I used it for last season. Use ethonal-free, change the oil, and still running strong. Had I known that I'd be using it as often as I do, I would have opted for a Honda GX with an AR or CAT pump from these guys. I think they will last longer, but hey, the Kohler has readily paid for itself in one season, so no complaints. I even make the unit work with a downstream injector kit for soft washing

Only issues: Charcoal filled sealed gas cap on my unit. Throw it away and get a regular vented cap! It will eventually clog and shut-er down.
