You also are limited by how much power you can draw from a 120v/20a wall receptical via a long extension cord. They aren't cheap, which just reinforces that the price indicates and emphasizes the quality of the pump, more than the engine. Nozzles and other accessories are easily obtained so I don't pay much attention to that for the initial purchase. I'll pay for long-life flexible hoses, and a quality spray gun.

That's a general rule of thumb of course, because until they start publishing the flow curve for the pumps, you don't really know how one pump would compare to another for any given application. In short, I'd take a 2500 psi 3.0 gpm unit over 3000 psi 2.5 gpm every time. You can overcome a couple hundred psi difference with proper nozzle/accessory selection, flow is what matters the most. I want a good engine, (preferably horizontal crankshaft) and an even better pump. I really don't see value in 'extras' like on-board detergent tanks, electric start, chrome wheels, etc. I can't stress this enough, money buys performance. If you are the DIY type and really enjoy playing with your toys, then you have some more options for sure. Consider hiring out the annual driveway/sidewalk/house cleaning as those jobs take forever and a day with a small washer. If this machine will be only be used to clean the patio furniture, a wood fence once a year and other small jobs, then even the small electric ones do a fine job, and I'd prob stay electric vs gas in that case too. My advice for homeowners looking at pressure washers is to start with the task. There are no real design tricks or advantages, only compromises.
