I'll chime in from the Briggs camp... I bought an Excell at HD a few years back and have had only one problem with it....The valve cover plate shook itself loose and she was throwin oil around. I tightened down the two screws(at that point they were hand-loose) and the problem is solved. I got two full seasons of hard to moderate use outta it before this happened. For HO use either manfact makes a decent machine. As is always said here- more important than the engine on a Press washer is the pump, and parts available for it.

I got My Craftsman last year with 6-3/4 Bridggs on it. Very Happy with the performance. I worked this thing forever & then some.

Im a BIG fan of Honda but I got to say Im really impressed with the Briggs.
