Bought a few days ago. Some assembly required. Starts easily. Has significantly more power than the 3000 psi unit it replaced. Hope it lasts but so far so good.
I am doing power washing for 15 years, my old power washer broke. So I bought this one (WPX 3800) and I am very impressed. Weight is no problem, power abundant. I overfilled oil and had some issues, but service call was excellent. Evidently there was some oil in the engine, so when I "filled" it, was to much. But great product, great service.

This machine is made from butter-soft metal where it matters most. The exhaust manifold and cylinder head are made from such fragile material that they might as well be ceramic. The first unit I ordered arrived broken right out of the box. Thinking it was a fluke, I bought another one from a different retailer.
Big mistake.
The second machine worked—until it tipped over during transport (my fault, not secured well). Like any small engine, it needed the spark plug pulled to drain the fluid from the head. But here's the catch: the design is so cramped that it's nearly impossible to reinstall the spark plug straight without risking damage. Sure enough, while carefully reinstalling the plug, it cross-threaded—and when I removed it, a chunk of the cylinder head came with it.
Let that sink in: simply removing the spark plug caused part of the engine block to crumble apart.
I’ve worked on engines for years, and I’ve never seen metal this weak or a design this poorly thought out. If you plan to actually use this machine like a normal human being, don’t waste your money. It’s not a matter of if it breaks—it’s when. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIiVjuF_Lks
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
