I have used both gas and electric outdoor tools for many years. I have found that the gas-powered tools have just not been necessary for my home maintenance needs and require way too much maintenance. My old electric pressure washer finally gave out and I needed to replace it. Initially, I planned to simply replace the old unit with the same "R" brand, but I found too much negative feedback, plus I had numerous operating issues the last few years. I researched every major brand of electric power washers and was surprised to see the Westinghouse brand on pressure washers. I checked them out even more and ultimately had to decide between 3 Westinghouse models. My old unit was a small full framed unit, so I started with that model. I also considered two ePX models. Ultimately, I went with the ePX3500 due to its compact design and substantially lower price point than the framed model. The pressure rating was not much lower than the larger unit, plus we store the washer downstairs in the fall.
The order came quickly, and I was surprised at the small size of the package. As I pulled the components from the box, I was inspecting the parts. While many parts are some type of plastic, I considered that a good thing when working with water. All parts appear to be well engineered and well built. Everything went together exactly as shown in the instructions- no tools needed. Once I hooked everything up, I gave it a try. We had been in the middle of stripping the deck when the old unit failed. I inserted the same degree tip and went to work. Wow! The difference in power was amazing. I was very pleased with the performance of the unit- much better than I expected (I actually needed to use a higher degree tip to get similar results- that's a good thing).
A couple of things that I was particularly pleased with include the 35' power cord, which includes the in-line GFCI. The length allowed us to use preferred outlets and gave us more maneuvering room. We had ZERO cut-outs with this Westinghouse unit. My spouse used it for hours non-stop. All of the hose connections (supply and pressure) fit perfectly. No drips, leaks, or blow-outs. The 4-caster design creates a sturdy washer that stays upright. I really appreciate the design that allows for storage of the handle, spray wand, tips, and cord on the unit. Very compact and light weight, easy to move around. The pressure hose is the typical length and seems to be of quality (I am hoping the coiling will lessen with use). Overall, this is a solid pressure washer, compact design and should easily meet the needs of the majority of homeowners.
Electric pressure washer is an excellent choice as it performs extremely well. Operation and maintenance of unit is very efficient and cleanup of unit is also efficient. Five star rating appears appropriate.
I bought this to clean my driveway and brick on the house. It looks brand new! The 3000 psi does a fantastic job on cleaning 55 years of grit and grime off the house and driveway. Next I'll tackle the yard tractor and wood deck.
I received this pressure washer as a Christmas present. It has plenty of power. I washed my entire carport and back porch and pressure washed my truck after a ride through muddy National Forest roads.
