*I was seriously going to buy the rb600 since I need a pressure washer and all my other equipment is stihl but I wanted a more lightweight and compact unit that has the honda engine. Ended up going with a simpson 3200 psi 2.5 gpm washer for $300 and upgraded the pump to a 3600 psi 3.1 gpm commercial duty Mi-T-M pump for $200. This washer only weighs 65 lbs and it has the tall handle that folds down, yet with the pump upgrade I did on it it's a beast and will run all day long without fail, however it's so compact and lightweight that I can fold the handle down, pick this washer up and carry it up my stairs to my 2nd floor equipment storage room. I love this washer.*
Just ran mine for the first time yesterday. I got the surface cleaner as well. This thing is amazing. Own other Stihl products and this is first class unit. I’m a newbie to washers, but am so glad I spent a little extra for quality. Lots of work to do around the house. One complaint, they do not list the ratio of the downstream injector anywhere, but it is 12:1 per Stihl customer service. Will be doing bucket test to verify.
It’s disappointing Stihl did not use the Honda line of motors and although they do use a AR pump the Stihl 800 uses a made in R.OC. AR pump rather than one of the higher quality ARs made in Italy this unit is mid grade and you are paying for the name.
Nah from my understanding it's a special made Kohler that stihl contracted them to make. It's a beast and while I like Hondas this thing is absolutely rock solid.
@@tnrcleancare7847 I just picked mine up yesterday. It feels good and I like the ability to lower psi to wash my cars. I’m replacing a Honda gx200 powered pressure washer and this kohler is quieter than it. Thank you for your videos
does this model have the no kink hose? Cheaper models always have the terrible hose that you can never get neatly wound up. I know the RB 400 has a thin no kink hose, but wondering about this one? Do you find it easy to put away and go, or is it a pain?
Bro. This machine has the best hose of any ive Ever ran bar none. The hose itself cost $200 if that tells you anything lol it always lays flat. Its impossible to kink it. Heavy duty rubber
Awesome! I thought so by looking at it at the store, but until you get water in it and stretch it out you never really know how it lays out. I think that helps me make my decision on this one over the other. Thanks a bunch!
Your welcome. Spend the extra money. Trust me. I had the same debate with myself. Not to mention you can adjust the pressure from light mist to stripping paint
Thats perfect, Im wondering if i should get the 600 or 800... Im thinking about saving 600$ to haha . Then later on get the permanent truck or trailer...
What is your business description? Like if your strictly p.w. spend the extra and go with the 800. Beast of a machine. For economy , practicality, dependability, and all around versatility go with the 600. I don't regret buying it one bit. Excellent investment. It also has motor mounts to dampen vibrations btw.
@@tnrcleancare7847I do tree service , and edge trimming , then gutters and stuff and window cleaning, Im venturing in the p.w now... Im buying the 600 tomorow... :D Did a quote allready no choice now haha!
