What's wrong with my Bigboi Washr Flo? It keeps pulsing

So i have bought this Bigboi a couple weeks back and it's the second time i use it. It's connected via brass quick connects, that have teflon tape around them, to a 50ft flexzilla hose that's connected to a mckillans swivel gun. Is this something to do with the power or the machine? If i have no nozzles on it, it doesn't pulse, but with them connected or with a foam cannon connected, it acts strange. How can i fix this? I noticed my foam cannon also underperforming.

Which Gas Pressure Washer Is Worth Buying?

Hey everyone, I'm looking to buy my first gas-powered pressure washer to tackle my driveway, patio, and car washing. I want something reliable with at least 3000 PSI and good mobility (under 60 lbs if possible). Budget is around $500 max.

Any recommendations on brands/models like Honda-powered ones or Simpson? What's the real-world durability like, and any must-have accessories (e.g., surface cleaners)? Also, tips on maintenance to avoid common issues? Thanks!

New pressure washer, AR RCA 3G25 oil milky after ~4 hours.

Bought this complete pressure washer on Amazon about 2 months ago for $239. It came with an Annovi Reverberi RCA 3G25 pump. Thought I got a pretty good deal.
It has maybe 4 hours of total use.

Checked the pump sight glass today and the oil was completely milky. Drained it and it looks like a lot of water has gotten into the crankcase.
It still makes pressure normally and the oil fill/breather cap has always been installed.

Would you suspect bad seals/packings on a basically new pump? Worth refilling with fresh 15W-40 and running it briefly to confirm?

I’m not sure if I can warranty/return the whole thing. Vendor is iffy and no longer in stock.

Buying Advice, Karcher v.s. Westinghouse Electric Pressure Washers

Howdy, I am looking at getting my first pressure washer and decided to go electric to stay away from the maintenance of gas (I understand the GPM is going to be alot lower). I really got down to only a couple brands I was willing to look at buying one from due to price and parts availability after purchase. Its to my understanding that pumps on pressure washers pretty much determine the economic lifespan...has anyone here had any experience with Karcher or Westinghouse in this sub? Karcher has a very interesting service/parts network, however, I called one of the places that works on them and they acted like they pretty much only swap out a pump if it goes bad no internal work...on the other hand I have found a replacement pump from Westinghouse themselves for under $100 for each of the listed ones above, however, I dont know how long this usually last? Any owners of either brand who have experienced what its like when something breaks on one please help me out.
