DeWalt vs Makita Pressure Washer? Which one holds up?

Hey guys, looking to upgrade my pressure washer for home use. I’m torn between the DeWalt 3400 PSI and the Makita 3600 PSI models. Anyone have experience with either? I mostly clean driveways and decks.

I’ve used both on job sites. DeWalt’s pump is solid but Makita has better pressure consistency. For home use, either is overkill but Makita has a nicer hose and the trigger lock is smoother. DeWalt parts are easier to find though.

Safety first - make sure whatever you get has a thermal relief valve and GFCI. I’ve seen too many guys mess up their pumps running it too long. Honestly, both brands are good but check the warranty. Makita has a longer pump warranty.

I’d go Makita if you want lower maintenance. The axial cam pump is easier to service. DeWalt uses a wobble pump that can be finicky. Also, Makita’s pressure hose is thicker. But if you already have DeWalt batteries for other tools, get the DeWalt cordless one - it’s sweet for quick jobs.

Thanks guys! I’m leaning Makita now. The warranty and pump quality sold me. I’ll grab the 3600 model and skip the cordless since I don’t have DeWalt batts. Appreciate the help!
