The original hose fitting leaked like Niagara Falls. Replaced with a brass fitting, which also leaks where the fitting attaches to the SPX3000. I am so frustrated with this thing that I'm ready to throw it out (I would never give it away due to the electrocution hazard)
I bought this power washer to replace an older Karcher power washer. This one is quieter, more powerful, easier to set up and use, and much better built.
