Under 250 quid for a Honda 2600PSI / 180 bar washer? We cant even buy that
kinda spec over here outside of the "professional" market (grand plus).
I've used that one and its an awsome machine. I'd have no objection to
spending 300 quid on a HQ machine if I could find one.

About the closest thing over here is a Gen-U-ine Hundah off of ebay.

I've looked into shipping one but it costs more than the machine :-(

Hi Jimbob

Petrol (or Gasoline) pressure washers dominate the USA market, mainly
because of their crappy 115v power system. Lucky to run a 1:4kw induction
motor on that supply. We can comfortably run 2:9kw over here.

To be fair, most washers over there use the Honda GC series engine & most
here use the GX series, but that still don't explain the difference.

The engines alone cost more over here.

Without doubt a price fixing ring going on.
