Hey guys, just picked up a Ridgid 3100 PSI pressure washer on clearance at Home Depot for $250. Retail is like $500+. It's the model with the Honda motor. I've heard mixed things about Ridgid pressure washers. Anyone got experience with this one? Worth keeping or should I flip it?

Nice find! For that price, I'd say keep it. Honda motors are bulletproof. I have a similar unit and it's been going strong for 3 years. Just make sure you flush the pump with antifreeze if you store it in freezing temps.

I agree with Chris. Ridgid's warranty is pretty good too – lifetime if you register it. I've had to replace a couple of o-rings on mine, but that's normal. For $250 you can't go wrong. I'd keep it and use it for years.

Thanks guys! I'll register it and give it a test run this weekend. Might use it to clean my deck before staining. Anything I should look out for?

Check the oil level in the pump before first use. And don't run it without water, even for a second – that'll kill the pump seals fast. Have fun!
