I bought a Westinghouse unit over a year ago. Three months ago the electric motor would not engage. After discussions they exchanged my your old unit with an upgraded model and all I had to do was to box it up and send the old unit back. I really liked the original unit so I had no problem with taking a newer version.
This pressure washer does what I needed . It is the ePX3100. Makes keeping my vehicles & equiptment clean very easy. No engine to maintain or crank on is a plus for me.
Over the years, I have owned electric pressure washers with approximately the same specifications as this Westinghouse ePX3500 They all had tubular steel frames and were really quite large and heavy. I was initially surprised by, and somewhat skeptical of the small size and weight of this unit, but after about five hours of steady use (with a couple of short breaks in-between) I must say that I have been impressed. This Unit seems to have all of the capabilities of the larger Units that I have owned, but without the weight or size! Of note, the weight savings seem to be from the lightweight wheels, brackets and general packaging of the motor so the durability of those parts remains to be seen. The Wand and Hose seem to be heavy-duty and should be quite durable. A great design feature is the placement of the Pressure Washer Wand Hose outlet and the Garden Hose inlet - they are on opposite side at the bottom of the Unit which makes moving it around while using it very easy and not as prone to tipping-over. It meet my needs as a Homeowner.
I have owned six powerwashers over the years (both gas and electric). This is the best designed machine I have ever used. My hope is that it proves to be more durable than the others (most last 2-3 years).
