I've likewise been happy with the Excel brand unit I've had for about 5
years now. The pump seals have started leaking a little (likely a result of
my trying to feed it hot water) but otherwise it works well. This year I
had to pull the valve apart on the 'adjustable' wand to clean and lube it.
Not sure what brand motor offhand, probably a B&S 6hp vertical shaft. Has a
sliding control for the governor (with cute little rabbit and turtle icons),
but I always run it at max.
ISTR it's rated something like 1800 psi and 2 gpm (or 3600 "cleaning
units").
