I bought this back in December 2024 and I didn't get a chance to use the power washer until recently in May 2025. Putting it together was breeze and the instructions were clear. I made sure to follow the instructions before turning on the power washer. FYI: Always attach a water hose and turn on the water first before plugging in the power chord and turning on the power washer! Otherwise you will ruin the pump mechanism. The only reason why I give this power washer 4 stars is the button on the front of the power washer seem flimsy. You have to press in to turn on and depress the button to turn off. The button feels cheap and its loose and doesn't have that solid click in and out. I can see this on/off button causing problems in the future. I also can see there being an issue where you accidently forget to depress the button or even had it pressed in by accident before turning on the power washer or not having the water connected or even not having the water turned on prior to powering up the power washer. I wonder why the manufacturer chose to design the on/off button this way. A better on/off button like a switch showing on and off would of been better.
I've researched many of these power washers. I found, for the name Westinghouse, price, and the 2500 psi, it was worth a try. It performed very well, but I have to get used to which nozzles to use. The electrical cord is long, and the hose to the spray gun is adequate. Easy to set up, and use. This was a great purchase
