Performs far better than I ever would have imagined. The unit is very well constructed and surprisingly easy to transport. I would definitely purchase this washer again. Two very minor design issues I feel could be addressed. The first is the location of the filling plug for the soap reservoir. It is located in the center of the tank and a bit difficult to access with a gallon bottle of soap. The second issue is the location of the output hose. Documentation states the hose should not be exposed to temperatures above 140 degrees. The connection for the hose is located directly below the exhaust. Be very aware of this proximity. Very minor criticisms.
I bought this as a gift for my son. He has been using it to power wash a number of things around his home and he is impressed at what a great job this machine does.
I have had a few Gas power washers and this one is very nice and easy starting. Not having a throttle is a little different because you don't start your car and have it run full throttle. And I wish that it came with a longer hose so you don't have to move the washer around with you when you wash a normal size vehicle. So I purchased a different hose. Otherwise it's a pretty decent unit in my opinion.
Just got it and assembled. Easy as pie. Put gas in and pulled the cord. Vroooooolom! Started first pull. Proceeded to get some rust stains from my driveway which I never could remove before! Excellent!
