Received pressure washer (electric) two days ago and just registered for free extra spray nozzles. I’m excited to use it this weekend hoping it works as good as it looks. As with all power equipment the longer it lasts the better it is.
So far, so good with some open questions. I’ve only used it once on a pool patio that was truly bad. The mold/mildew was very thick and the water didn’t drain very well so the machine had to also clean through standing water. I tried to use a craftsman surface cleaner that I use with an old gas pressure washer, but it was barely doing anything. I had to mostly use the turbo nozzle which worked pretty good considering. I’ve now bought the Westinghouse 12” surface cleaner and some simple purple and will see how the rest of the patio goes… Using anything but a surface cleaner on a large area takes considerably longer, as you might expect. It’s really portable which is one of the main reasons I purchased it. I’ll try to include before and after images.
I’ve used my EPX3500 to clean my car and a used plastic play structure with years of grime, and I’m fairly pleased with the result, especially for the price point. The anti-tip balance works, and I got it as part of a bundle with a longer hose and alternate handle that are both useful. My complaints are relatively small: they don’t include a needed 40 deg nozzle, but do include the 0 deg nozzle that consumer reports said is both dangerous and unnecessary. Nor do they publish the orifice size of the nozzles, which makes it difficult to correctly find replacements. I ended up having to get a separate set of 5 nozzles, just to have the one I needed on the same day (rather than having to wait for the extra set of nozzles included when you register to be shipped to me).
