I bought this surface cleaner to shine up the driveway. It worked great for the first 30 to 40 minutes, after that all it did was leave swirl marks. Upon lifting it up off the ground a little bit, looks like the armature does not spin anymore. I purchase this product because this one had better reviews and the Ryobi I purchased earlier did the same thing. But at least the Ryobi lasted longer. It did out perform the Ryobi when it did work. I'll say that much.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi,
Thank you for your review and for sharing your experience. We're glad to hear the surface cleaner performed well at first and outperformed your previous unit, but we're sorry it stopped working so quickly. That’s definitely not the durability we aim to deliver. We’d like to help get this resolved for you. Please reach out to us at support@wpowereq.com or 1-855-944-3571 so we can troubleshoot the issue. We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to make this right.
The PWSCSS 16.5 inch unit cleaned my driveway and sidewalks. It was easy to hook up and use. The only issue was that I needed to have a secondary hose to wash the dirt away from the concrete after the surface attachment was used. It removes the dirt from the concrete, but it does not wash it away from the cleaning head area. It needs to be more like a walking mower with a side ejection port.
I bought this to clean berry stains and algae off my driveway and walkway. It did the job well enough, though a higher powered pressure washer and larger surface cleaner would have made the job go faster and easier. User tip: If the surface cleaner seems to lose power and pressure, you've probably crimped the water supply hose.
