I just purchased my first electric power washer, tried it once to see if it was worth keeping… I’ll never look back. It’s as powerful as my gas powered one but quiet and light and nimble. Definitely a convert! Im giving it 4 now because i haven’t had it but a week, otherwise id do 5!
Can't wait to try it. Just waiting for a warm day. The only negative is the ratings in the manual are well below the sales info for both pressure and flow rate. Testing will tell...
Overall I’m happy with this pressure washer. It’s quieter than I expected. It’s pretty easy to use. It’s not too big. It’s relatively convenient. And we’ve had good results from it as we’ve used it to wash our concrete patios and our cars.
My two complaints are that the pressure is not as high as I expected it to be and there’s no way to bypass the soap container.
For the pressure, after reading all the warnings in the manual about potential kickback and how it could break glass, I was kind of surprised that even with the highest pressure nozzle, it produced enough pressure, but I never felt like it posed any serious risk of damaging anything. There have been a few cases where I wished it was stronger so I could get stubborn dirt out of concrete, but mostly it’s been sufficient.
Second, the soap dispenser is in line with the water intake. When you fill it up, the washer will dispense soap until the soap is gone. When I’m done using the soap, there’s no way I can tell to just bypass the soap dispenser and start spraying clear water again. I just have to use up whatever soap is left, which means I waste soap if I don’t judge exactly how much will be needed at the beginning. That seems like such a serious oversight that I am convinced I must be overlooking something.
