This pressure washer is great. It was easy to set up. My first use was to clean up patio furniture, a deck and a pergola. It was awesome. It is much easier to move around than my gas pressure washer.
I was very excited to get this new pressure washer to replace a 1500 psi unit I had.
Pros When it works correctly, it works great! I was able to clean my concrete patio, furniture and plant pots with ease when this unit is going full throttle. Took me way less time than my old pressure washer did.
Cons I'm not sure if it's the built in breaker on the cord or what, but I have only found two outlets around my house that let this unit run full speed. I have frequently been using it when the pressure stops. The power light is still on but there is no pressure. I have to unplug and wait a minute or so before it will start up again. And then it will stop again. It is extremely frustrating when this happens.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello skipbee,
Sorry to hear of this issue! This would not be considered normal. Please purge the line. Set up the unit as per usual and ensure you are not using an extension cord. Remove any nozzle that may be connected at the end of the wand. Make sure that you have a green light on the GFCI on the power cord. Turn your garden hose on but leave the pressure washer turned OFF. With the pressure washer turned off, squeeze on the trigger for about 3 minutes – allowing the water to run through the unit at no pressure. In doing so, you are bleeding the unit out of any air that may be stuck in the pump. After 3 minutes, turn the unit on. Reinstall one of your clean nozzles and continue using the unit. At this stage, if the unit shuts off when a nozzle is installed be sure to try all nozzles. A faulty nozzle may cause the unit to shut down.
Additional components to check: • Ensure a nozzle is connected. Be sure to try all nozzles. • Ensure that the water source is fully opened and is at least 60PSI • Check that there is at least 10' of unrestricted garden hose between the hose connection and the unit, any kinks will prevent the flow of water from going into the unit and prevent proper pressure. • For best results, use a 1” (25 mm) or 5/8” (16 mm) garden hose. • Check that the water inlet is not clogged. Disconnect the garden hose, remove the filter and rinse with warm water.

Excellent power washer. I recently switched from a gas powered Rigid and am so pleased with the decision. This power washer is sturdy, quiet, clean, and powerful.
It's a great machine. Love the design and the way everything is able to be stored so neatly. The machine is pretty quiet and works like a dream. So far we have pressure washed our 3 car driveway and a large deck and are very happy with how it worked. The only minor complaint we have is the screen washer for the hose attachment can easy fall out when the hose it not attached. We will probably order more to have on hand because without it the hose connection leaks. This is a minor inconvenience for an otherwise good product.
