24 hp honda 8gpm @ 3500 psi AR pump : 2999.99

24 hp honda 8gpm @ 3500 psi General pump : 2999.99

24 hp honda 9gpm @ 3000 psi general : 2799.99

Depends on what you intend to clean. Any of the models you list would provide good service in the proper situations.

For the prices you quote, they must be cold water, which in my opinion, has limited capabilities compared to hot water.

Im cleaning pavers, and concrete 95% driveways or patios.....and im planning on buying a seperate hot water unit later this month....

Keep in mind with any of the rigs you mention, you will need a water tank. Many residential plumbing lines won't provide 8-9 gpm.

With that in mind, for washing residential concrete and pavers, I'd say 6 gpm @3000 is adequate. It provides good cleaning power, and uses less water, which may allow you to operate portable or off a trailer, with only a garden hose hookup.

Something to think about.
