I used the pressure washer to strip my wooden deck saving me hours of sanding. Cleaned my concrete patio also. Changed tip and washed off trim on front of the house, will paint soon
Pros: Compact, Rugged, Lightweight, Powerful, Economical, Easy To Use
An excellent pressure washer. I've owned gas powered before, I've owned electric powered before. This is the quietest, most powerful electric washer I've ever used. Maybe not for the top of the 3rd story gable without patience the other 99% of projects you'll be honestly impressed.
Very happy there was a video (on-line) with step X step directions on how to assemble. I am a 74 year old woman and with the help of my 20 year old granddaughter we managed to get it put together with no parts left over! I only tested it briefly with the lowest pressure cap and it seemed pretty powerful. This replaced a Karcher that was seldom used - it just stopped working.
This washer works well but weakest link is the leeaking water inlet.The inlet is 3/4" NPT which is not for water hose.the adapter furnished is realy lame & continueousily leaks.Now I have to improvise & come up with a metal aadapter. Who thiought of the bad idea of milling flats on vboth sides if 3/4" outlet? This guarantees a leaking connection. DUH Don Poe
So far, best electric machine I have used. Great idea with the changeable nozzles. Could use an extension on the heavy duty wand to reach the peak areas of the house to wash the siding.
Mildew can be problematic in my area. (I am a small woman in my mid 70's with no prior DIY experience yet I found this machine to be easy to use in every way and efficient). The machine performs as advertised. I did return three other well known and costlier brands and happily keep this to use for posterity. Earlier reviews were most helpful.
Very easy to assemble. Was worried after hearing stories of leaking hose connections. I did not have any problems. Pressure was sufficient to power wash my concrete back porch pad and some other items around the house. I also wanted to get something that my wife could easily handle but not too much power that she would accidently do some damage.
Assembly was easy. I cleaned off a paver walkway that was dirty and had green mold on it which is normal for homes in Florida near the ocean. The manual warned about using certain cleaning products but did not say which one's you should use. The lack of info about what cleaning products to use is my biggest issue. The machine performed well and I am pleased with the pressure and results. I wish they would go into more detail about the use of detergent system. Example: can I use soap sold for washing my car? can I use a car washing soap that also has wax in it? The snowjoe.com web site has one multipurpose cleaner and that's it. A youtube video explaining and showing you how to use the detergent system would be helpful. I am scared to use the detergent system in fear I will ruin the pump. The arm that holds the electric cord is too small. Needs to be 2 or 3" taller. Bottom line, it's a good machine and would buy it again.
