    While that Craftsman is rated for 3000 starting W, you really should find out the power washer's requirements first, then match a generator accordingly.

    Assuming the generator can run the pressure washer. Is it safe for the generator to be maxed out and used on a day to day basis? Can it eventually be damaged?

    If it is a Honda then it is pretty safe to run it at or near maximum duty cycle. I've run mine pushing an A/C unit for amateur radio field day and it worked fine, all day.

    I've been looking all over the internet for answers about this but will my honda generator be able to even power on the sun jose pressure washer? I cant seem to find any information regarding starting watts. So now im worried it wont even be able to do that.
