Just received my pressure washer and it was very simple to put together including both the power cord and hose retainers, but I am left with an additional retainer with the word 'powercord' etched into it, and it would not have fit anywhere not the machine - perhaps an erroneous part??
The washer seems sturdy/substantial, yet small enough to be really easy to manage; but unfortunately I will have to go out and buy a nozzle to wash my car, because though it did come with four nozzles, I need a 40 degree nozzle for the car and maybe for my home siding - I believe these are two of the most common reasons homeowners purchase a pressure washer, and it would have been nice to have it. There was an insert flyer that was included with the instructions that promises a 'bonus item' if the product is registered and a review is left on this site, but the little flyer completely mislabels the nozzles, e.g. 40 degrees for red and 0 degrees for white - and because I know nothing about this, I am glad I looked further at the tiny print on the actual red nozzle that shows the zero - someone is going to think that is accurate and point it at their car or vinyl siding.
The manual also needs a bit more information about the nozzles, as I am having to research online which nozzles are safe for specific uses. For instance, the 0 degree nozzle states it can be used to clean concrete and strip paint - but I believe using that nozzle to strip paint from wood may damage it - so it probably should include surface types. The 15 and 25 degree nozzle instructions indicate use for brick and paved patios, yet I am finding info saying it can be used on vinyl siding from a distance? I am a novice, so this info may be common for those with experience.
If I can add to this review once I am able to use my pressure washer (after I go buy a white nozzle), I will. I believe I will be happy with it, but am simply a bit annoyed that I have go buy a nozzle and do more research to figure out how to safely use the product on different items, when that info should be included.
Wondering if their promised 'bonus item' (set of spray nozzles) includes the white one, or if I will even receive it, given this review - but I have to get one anyway because I can't wait however many weeks it will take to receive it if they do.
