easy to assemble. nice looking well made product. changed out hose hook up to solid brass hookup. it is a fairly quiet machine. pump runs only when using the wand. .overall a very good product worked fine. only thing i would change is where hose hooks up to wand. should be on end ... not middle of wand. that makes it a little off center when using. Unit has plenty of power. nice having several tips plus with click connection makes it easy to change. this is a good solid unit for home use. got the foam cannon to use for washing cars and siding on house. look forward to using that overall very good would buy again
