Compared to other pressure washers, well, you cant really compare this to any other pressure washer. The quality of this machine is beyond any other. The placement of the hose connections are perfect. The hose is stout. Love this machine
Strong, compact power washer. Just what I needed to keep the house, concrete, and outdoor furniture looking good. The 5 different nozzles are helpful to have.
I bought this because I got tired of spending an entire day washing my driveway with my electric pressure washer. Assembling it was pretty straightforward, no issues there. The only issue I had so far was getting it to run. I followed the instructions in the manual, line by line, to start it up and I could not get it to run. After several attempts of pulling the cord and releasing the pressure from wand, I was ready to call it quits. I stood there looking at it, thinking to myself that I should've gone with the Simpson, but then I noticed a lever with a yellow tab and stickers of a rabbit and turtle right below it. I saw it earlier when assembling it, but I did not see anything about it or its function in the manual so I didn't think much of it. The lever was position all the way to the right (turtle), so I moved it all the way to the left (rabbit) and pulled the cord and wah-lah...it ran. Did some googling afterwards and found out the lever is to control the Throttle/Engine Speed. It would have been nice if Westinghouse included that in their instructions. With this being my first gas powered tool, I didn't know that it was something I had to do. Anyway, I tested a small part of my driveway to see how strong it was and yes, it will definitely save me time.
