Great when the motor doesn't cut out...

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.
If issues persist, please give us a call at 1-888-909-6757; we would be happy to look into this with you!

The power is very good and the unit is solid and easy to use. The upright storage is a plus as well. This is my second unit.

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.

I went from a gas powered 3000 PSI pressure washer to this. One reason is the pump gave out on the old one and another is after using it for extended periods of time, I felt like I came out of a Metallica concert, even with ear protection. This is definitely quieter and seems to have the same power and cleaning effectiveness. It is nice to have no fuel and oil to deal with as well as no worries about whether the motor will start in the spring. The electric cord is plenty long. I would recommend a heavy duty extension cord if you are needing one, at least 14 gauge to prevent voltage drop, maintain performance and to protect the motor. The nozzle selection is great. I was able to use it on a rotating brush head as well. I did have some trouble getting the soap siphon to work initially, but was able to solve that. Seems the check ball was stuck. I have washed a wood deck, stone landscape walls and concrete sidewalks.
I would recommend this to a friend!
