I upgraded from a 1700psi 1.5gpm 2-wheel washer to this 2500psi 1.76gpm 4-wheel model. Wow, what an upgrade! Upon receiving & assembling, I took it out for a quick 5-minute test before writing this review, so I can get some free bonus nozzles. However, it performed so well, I couldn’t stop. It was so satisfying cleaning out concrete expansion joints filled with debri, including growing weeds; and watching the surface magically brightening before my eyes. I ended up power washing my large shop driveway pad, and pondside concrete that was completely covered with dried/baked-on Canada goose poop. After 3 hours using this I am so glad for the extra power, and really love the roll-around feature with 360° wheels & low center of gravity anti-tip design. I tried all 5 nozzles & settled on the orange 15° one for this task. My only cons are that at first I wondered if there was a defect when the unit kept shutting down after a minute or less, but it turned out I was inadvertently loosening my grip slightly. After 3 hours, my hand & wrist were a little sore, but that’s true when doing anything new until you build up to it. It would be convenient to have a trigger on-lock, but I understand that there is only a trigger off-lock for safety. The pressure hose had some natural coil from being new, that cause a slight issue, but it got better, and should not be a problem. The final con is the soap reservoir—their is no soap on/off control, so you just have to fill it when you want soap & drain it when you want water only. This is a nuisance, but not a deal killer.
Overall I am satisfied with this purchase, price, & performance.
I got tired of all the time required to star up and maintain the gas powered machines I had always used. I’m pleased with the convenient starting effort of this electric machine and the compact size for storage and moving around the work area. A commercial user may want something more powerful for shorter work time, but this works great for jobs of a casual homeowner.
We replaced a PowerStroke washer with this model, and this one is so much easier to use! The cords are very long, and the wheels make it very easy to roll this around on the driveway. It can be picked up with one hand once everything is stowed away.
The only improvement I would want is to allow cords and gun to be more securely attached to the washer.
We've been using this pressure washer to clean up years of accumulated dirt on patio, driveway and even siding. It's easy to get the hang of using, the length of cord and hose means we can go quite far around the house with it. It's lightweight. Directions are clear. I only wish the hose was easier to coil back up for storage, but that's not worth taking off a star. We're very pleased with this purchase.
